He gave Red Dawn 2 stars so I'm inclined to ignore anything he has to say.Josh Lewis is great, very knowledgeable film critic that also champions a ton of underappreciated trashy genre movies. Discovered some good stuff through his letterboxd reviews and his podcast Sleazoids.
Haven't seen Civil War, from the reviews I've read it sounds like it's mostly just a road movie about photojournalists and that it's not interested in having much fun with the premise of a future, civil war-embroiled United States. I'm not in a rush to see it.

I meant anything he has to say about Civil War lol. I should've been more clear. He gave Rambo (2008) a 4/5 so he can't be all bad.You do you but I wouldn't ignore anyone outright over a single rating (if I did I would have no country on ignore over his 3/5 rating for Seven Samurai.) I don't think his rating of Red Dawn boils down to political hand-wringing either since his review mentions a bunch of other jingoistic anti-communist films he thought were better.
Finally got to see it last night, but how? Lol it's like two different films. Pretty stark to see how much was left out of Lynchs and how it strayed from any thesis from Herbert while not doing anything himself.View attachment 35607
Having now seen both parts of Villeneuve's adaption, I can honestly say I prefer the 1984 version.
That said, I believe Denis has made a nice and entertaining trilogy, but seriously lacking in some under-handed writing to sell the third movie. I don't think the character building justifies a third movie, could have added some chunk of time to this one and made it a two part finale.Finally got to see it last night, but how?
