But honestly? I wasn't as obsessed with the look as I thought I would be.
My biggest gripe is honestly how he took out those three badass bikers first, and then just moved on to cult members who weren't even that tough, except for the one guy on the bike.
PS Why on earth did let the younger girl in the cult live, but kill off the old lady? I mean, sure, the grandma was meaner to Mandy, but that younger girl would've done whatever she was told. Plus, there's no way he could've known what they were up to inside while he was tied up. It just doesn't add up.
Heads up, Netflix 09.11.2018. is dropping this huge historical epic called "Outlaw King" starring Chris Pine (yeah, the guy from Star Trek and Wonder Woman). It’s directed by David Mackenzie, who did that killer movie Hell or High Water.
The whole thing goes down in Scotland during the occupation by England. Now, just to be clear, it isn't a sequel to Braveheart with Mel Gibson, but the story fits right in the gap between the death of William Wallace and the Battle of Bannockburn.
We follow Robert the Bruce (played by Chris Pine), this Scottish nobleman trying to liberate his homeland from the English and claim the throne. Like I said, it picks up after William Wallace is gone.

I mean, maybe Mr. Bean could pull it off, though even he gets on my nerves sometimes... like what our buddy said... it's like those old shows that just stopped producing good stuff years ago... totally washed up... just pure filler... his whole thing is being a cynical comedian... anything else is just TRASH
They did some special episodes once, but honestly, none of them even came close to the quality of the four main seasons.
rowdyorca said:Hardy signed on for three films, and they already hinted at Carnage in the post-credits scene, so we might actually see him on the big screen by late 2019.
Pretty much everyone signs on for at least three flicks.
It really all comes down to the box office numbers. So far, the opening weekend is looking solid.
Man, I seriously don't get why they keep pushing Rowan in these kinds of roles.
I thought the first one was stupid, so I can only imagine how bad these others are.
He isn't even funny to me when he's playing Mr. Bean, but when he plays a cynical jerk? That's some of his best work on TV—not that I even need to mention I'm talking about Black Widow.
Even in that mediocre Thin Blue Line, where he played that grumpy, cynical police chief, he was way better than he ever is in those "hilarious" roles.
It sucks that modern audiences just see him as Bean instead of Black Widow. What a waste.
I’m honestly floored by how much cash this movie pulled in, especially since we had to wait 14 years for it. I didn't even realize the first one was such a massive hit.

Plus, it's pretty much the only one that wasn't actually based on a comic.
I’m dying to know what the soundtrack is gonna be like for this one. That first movie had an absolute banger of a score, regardless of whether people actually liked the plot or not.
