The Naked Gun | Official Trailer (2025 Movie)

Release date August 1, 2025.

[TXSTYLE]

Watched SUPERMAN.

It had its moments. I definitely prefer Zach Snyder's version!
There was far too much "silliness" for my tastes. The character who stole the show for me was Mr Terrific. 3/5

UNTIL DAWN - My kind of movie. Holds true to the phenomenal Playstation Game. 4.5/5

F1 has become Brad Pitt's highest grossing movie, surpassing World War Z.

Saw this advertised on Netflix last night. Now that I've got a recommendation (from you) I'll add it to my watch list.

This looks a bit weird. I might go see it. A friend said no. : )

Looks funny to me (and weird).

I like Seth Rogen.

Nobody 2 Trailer

Weapons tops the box office.

looking forward to seeing this.

Trying to find a film without Liam Neeson in it..

Saw Naked Gun today. Could have done without all the (unnecessary) crotch humor, but it was entertaining enough. The sight gags were pretty good, and all over the place. IMHO, the plot was pretty thin. I think the originals were better.

Will have to sign up for Hulu and get this on my watch list, Rick. Wondering if I can binge on this or will I have to wait?

[M5Rick]

Here the ship containing the species crash lands on earth and I'll wager that the crew were expendable..

Probably worth watching this before you sign up Esteban, reviews aren't that great. ''All's I know is they're a bunch of adults acting like 12 YO's in diverse''

I get the sense this guy doesn't like it. And watching this review I think I'll wait until I hear more reviews.

The telling theme here is that its Disney. This one as well as Romulus is using youngsters as the main subjects to appeal to teens and mixing in scenes from the original Alien(s) and the rest to tag along the older viewers also, quite cunning of them if I may say to get more bottoms onto seats.
What striking is that a Yaphet Kotto lookalike, the simple good chap in Alien, is the Captain in this one, a synthetic that pilots this ship to get the captured species to this mysterious 'Weyland' firm, the species are suddenly breaking free from their glass encapsules and killing the crew with the ship shortly crashing into another ship sending it on a course to earth.
I'm seing it anyway when it gets to the big screen whatever the reviews.

The opening scene of AE.

If Alien Earth is happening two years before the Nostromo incident it means Ripley and co have already left earth for Thedus and have no idea what's happening back home.
