In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I don't think I've ever been less interested in anything ever.
If you were that disinterested you wouldn't have posted here
I've never even watched the original.
Who knew Brits were miserable cnuts?
Visually its genuinely impressive but the narrative and the lack of strong performances and constant corny dialogue will make your eyes roll.
Also, it has the worst ever moment of exposition in film history in it.
On the contrary, this seemed like the ideal place to register my disinterest.
By registering your disinterest you have more interest in this than many other things.
I don't think they're pointless but yeah he does slant a bit too pro creator now. Then again Jeremy Jahns also really liked it so both the reviewers I follow
I can think of a couple.
"Unobtanium is in the big tree, look at this schematic of the big tree even though we haven't seen the big tree before. But this thing I hold in my hand is the thing in that big tree, fecking look at it you cretinous turd."
"If you dock your willy with the flying horse's willy you're besties 4 life."
Its the moment that guys holds the piece of rock to the fecking audience and explains why they're there.
God awful execution.
God awful execution.
Ouch
I love a Mark rant. The end bit where they’re talking over each other is great.

I remember people taking a dump on Tron Legacy for having a poor story (but that actually has a thumping soundtrack and just as great visuals for me than Avatar as well as being an hour shorter) but people seem to lap this Avatar crap up.
AI stories are getting very realistic.
I watched it tonight, it was visually stunning and it wasn’t that bad, if a bit contrived. It also didn’t need to be over 3 hours long and would’ve been the same film if it was 30 minutes shorter.
better than the first one for me

It was surprisingly enjoyable. It's gonna get crapped on by cynics cos of its naivety and cheesiness, which it has in spades in fairness, but it's genuinely enjoyable. It's amazingly well made, the world building is excellent, and it didn't feel that long - though it could be trimmed in places.
Also, anyone who enjoyed Top Gun earlier this year and dares say anything about the scenario or script here is a hypocrite.

Did the visuals feel as impressive as the first?
The first is probably the only movie where despite not really caring about the story or the characters, I was so blown away by the visuals of the world that I was glad I went, which really surprised me. Gonna have to take some family kids to this and I’m wondering if I can expect the same kind of wonder

Saw this yesterday. I really enjoyed it, visuals were absolutely incredible. It isn’t a completely sophisticated story line, but despite it being over 3 hours long I was kind of hoping it lasted a little longer. Much better than the first I thought.
I’d give it an 8/10 at least. And I’d watch it again down the line (probably need a 50” 4K TV though to get the best out of it).
It’s better than any Marvel film I’ve seen anyway. It’s definitely worth a trip to the cinema to go and see if you enjoy the trip out.

Do they still feck their horses in the head?
Haven’t watched it but nothing can be worse than a Marvel film.
Glad you enjoyed it, I’m going to see it today. I can look beyond the cheese and guff and still enjoy the positives, I still like the first one. Good fun and Zoe Saldana is hot in whatever colour she comes in. Natural, blue or green
Casting Weaver as a child was a gut punch though, seemed like a direct counter to my horninessGlad you enjoyed it, I’m going to see it today.

I remember seeing the first at the cinema when there was this 3D trend, having been unimpressed by all the films I'd seen using the technology before that. It felt like a seminal example of how to use 3D and immerse yourself in a universe, it was super well done.
I didn't see this one in 3D, but in excellent conditions (a Samsung 4K Onyx screening), and while it didn't feel as defining as the first one did (from a technology standpoint), yeah it's gorgeous. I actually prefer the visuals, the whole water universe are beautiful.
Wales and shit this time Mockers

I reckon I'd be welcomed by a humpback, or any of the whale family, due to my monster dong. It's whale-esque.
Just been to see it in 3D. People will criticise anything these days.
I genuinely thought it was incredible. The visuals are perfect, the 3D is such a leap forward from previous 3D films I’ve seen.
I went in expecting be disappointed after the mixed reviews but honestly, what the heck is there to criticise? It was great fun.

Haven't seen it yet but I can't imagine it possibly being cheesier than the first one.
No cheesier, but no less cheesy. Nowt up wi a chunk of cheese!

Has anyone seen this in 4DX? Got a Cineworld voucher so unsure whether to go see it in 4DX or just IMAX 3D.
Glad to hear the positive reviews so far.

What’s the difference?
This was just a film nobody asked for.
I think 4D has live effects? Like moving chairs and air and water? I wouldn't fancy seeing a film in those conditions personally but if there's one film to see it like that, it's probably this one.
So, like most films?
Oh boy did you hit the nail on the head, it's poo with sparkles and glitters. It was a torture to plow through, thought I would die off boredom watching the nursery hour. I hate everything the film stands for and I loathe what the industry pushes towards us these days. 2/10 these two are for Zoe, even she couldn't save this dross.
And what, we have three (two? four?) more holiday seasons of releases of this franchise?
Sadly one planned every two years until 2028. Think I will leave it next time.
iMax Sydney still hasn't reopened after 6+ years of redevelopment. Still a few months off apparently but then again they have been saying that since 2020.
Very enjoyable movie. Kids loved it especially my boy. What a spectacle in 3D IMAX!
Can't say I'm surprised to see the usual suspects moaning about it....

Seems challenging to enjoy popcorn & a coke when the damn seat is rumbling around!
