I definitely wouldn't call it indistinguishable but I mean that in the best way. Love his portrayal of McCoy.

I don't get why the new trek stores of movies got so much hate. I really loved them. Haven't watched any trek stuff since though.
Opinions have softened somewhat in the intervening years. Still not without problems, but enjoyable.
I'd recommend giving Lower Decks (Push through to season 2), Prodigy (gets good by episode 10), and Strange New Worlds (strong start into a mixed bag) a try.
He gave us the best on film Judge Dredd of all time
The thing that pissed me off the most about that movie was his mention of his wife leaving him nothing but his bones. Jim calls him Bones afterwards.
Sawbones was the slang term for the doctor. The ship's doctor just got called the sawbones, or Bones for short. Huge character opportunity missed there. Amongst all the other problems that movie had.
Karl Urban seems to be the hot nerd who got his day on everything he wanted.
With exception to a sequel to Dredd.
And in today's environment a movie like that would slap. Let's hit him up and we'll go bully some Execs for Karl.
We ALL missed out on that one. Fucking braindead execs. It's the perfect example of how brainless executives are and were even before "AI". They're nothing but overpaid piles of shit.
The sooner humanity figures out a pay rate has NOTHING to do with quality of input, the better. Capitalism deserves to burn in hell, which is exactly where it was conceived.
Executives had nothing to do with the decision to skip a sequel. Think for a moment about which studio distributed the movie. It wasn't Disney or Warners or Sony or any of the bigs. It was an independent production scraped together by a South African company that distributes Paramount movies in Africa. The movie didn't make money and it nearly ended the company. The decision to not make a sequel is because the first one ate up all the money and the receipts are enough for banks and investors to say "pass" on any new ideas.
Yeah so I'm just going to stop you cuz you're kind of full of shit. The studio insisted that it be a 3D movie and they hardly marketed it and when it was marketed it was marketed as Dredd 3D. It was released during a lull when a lot of trash 3D releases were being made. They essentially doomed the theater turnout by tacking on 3D at the end which made people assume it was just going to be a shitty cash grab.
Once people got past that and actually started watching it, it became insanely popular after its theatrical run.
I'm sure the original production company didn't get much of any of the profits from after the theatrical run but the reason it almost ruined the company WAS because the studio forced decisions on to the production company that ended up killing their business.
Also why would anyone ever insist that executives didn't fuck something up? That's their entire job. They do a half assed job, take all the money they can, then bail. Then new executives are expected to clean up the mess, but guess what they do? The only thing executives know how to do they pillage and rape fuck the employees over more than the last c suite did and then bail.
But more importantly the buck stops somewhere. It stops with the CEO and the executives. Any failure is on them. Any success is mostly on the employees and possibly related to their guidance. A well running machine can run for a very long time without requiring interference.
If a well running machine suddenly runs into issues it's always because of the leadership/captain
Fuck. So we failed them.
He absolutely nailed the character.
You have to hand it to the Kelvin movies, just about all of them are amazing send ups to the original actors and characters.
The actors I liked a lot, they all did great at capturing the nuances. The plots.... meh. They also didn't have the same realistic "feel" of the classic TV/movies. It was more "arcadish" and shiny. I will say there are a few scenes/lines in some of them that I liked, even though it was a different timeline. "Your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's. And yours. I dare you to do better." I still prefer the original Kirk origin, and the Kirk in the various novels over the years is a bad ass prodigy.
JJ Abrams doesn't do plots
All he does is adolescent shouting and "running around"...and rehashing the same plot points with the primary plot advancement tool being just so happens to
Maybe the first act and a hook with a resolution TBD.
"Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a redditor!"
Hes in SO MANY sci FI/fantasy things
Including the new Mortal Kombat, unfortunately.
Primus: they can't all be zingers
Duh. Not a good Year for him. MK2, The Bluff, The Boys season 5.
Dammit jim i'm not a cunt!
Tap for spoiler
Boys reference ffs
Sorry, needs an "oi" in there somewhere to be a valid reference to The Boys.
This seems more like it to me:
Oi Jim, I'm a doctor, not a fooking cunt.
Forgot Éomer - "Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan! Oaths you have taken, now fulfill them all, to lord and land!"
I was going to comment on that, he played a commander of riders of Rohan that did his best to support his king. Not that I don't like his other roles but I thought being involved in lord of the rings was worth mentioning with the rest. Wait the Doom movie was mentioned but not Lord of the Rings? Huh....never watched Doom, played it tons when it was new though.
Such a great actor, he tends to improve any movie I've seen him in. Like if the role was poorly cast it may not be memorable but alright movie (well depending on which one, Dredd maybe not) but he's definitely memorable in his roles.
Didn't want the title to become a laundry list of roles. Doom is a terrible movie, save for Urban. Still fun to mention, though.
Dammit Jim, I’m a doctor not the law!
Dammit Jim, I'm not a Roman dictator!
