Yes I did, here in the U.K. we don’t get Hulu… yet. So the film is on Disney Plus which makes sense as they own 20th century.

Lightyear (2022)- I’m a big Toy Story Fan, and this story did nothing for me, didn’t even finish it.Agreement not expected.
I watched that last night and it is rubbish! I thought the best part was literally the ending.. it’s needlessly woke, and even without that the story is dull, characters very dull and uninteresting and the film is way too long, nearly 2 hours. It just drags on and on. I stopped watched half way through for a few hours then went back to it. I give it a 2 out of 10.

Thx saved me two hours of wasted life. @Huntn was a big trigger as he's frequently on the mark and you've just confirmed. Not remotely interested in Woke or Forced Diversity in films, more you watch the more you'll get. Shame as I really like the character.
Don't watch, don't pay and this nonsense will go away...

I saw it through and I gotta say I would have preferred Tim Allen to play Buzz. The cat, the comic relief, wasn't that funny either.Lightyear (2022)- I’m a big Toy Story Fan, and this story did nothing for me, didn’t even finish it.
Just confirms, studios need to get back to serving the audience and not themselves...
Q-6
I thought Toy Story and Lightyear were kid's movies. I wouldn't expect grand cinema.
Lightyear- For those who have not seen it, it is described as the movie Andy watched as a kid and fell in love with BL. I agree with your sentiment and I doubt a movie Andy saw as a kid was this awoke. However, as a sign of the times, the prominent gay theme did not bother me.
But for other reasons it was bad for me, although I can’t claim the film is beyond liking for everyone. Some kids probably like it.
I was just not engaged, and actually Buzz annoyed me.As a Toy, I like Lightyear’s personality, but as a human being, he seemed… shallow, verbose, one dimensional. He had more humanity as a toy, at least as a toy in the later Toy Story chapters.
It may seem silly to be bothered by this, but at the beginning of this film Buzz makes some bad decisions, is not only a poor listener, seems like a poor leader and his manner of speaking… suddenly I found him to be annoying. As a toy you can get away with a lot more (or in this case less) than as a person.

I really want to see how these North American Indians fare against Predator. No Spoiler Comments please!
To be fair, Buzz isn't the toy Buzz in Lightyear, he's an actual human Buzz - a different character.
Yet, I an adult, loved all 4 Toy Story films and disliked Lightyear. 🤗
True, equally should be entertaining for the bigger people as was the predecessors. This is how it starts, give them an inch and they take a mile...

Answer is to not watch woke & forced diversity trash, studios will get it sooner or later when the cash runs out. Alien 1979 superb mixed cast (pardon the pun), tremendous and impressively strong female lead. One of the very best, yet nothing was forced...Lightyear- For those who have not seen it, it is described as the movie Andy watched as a kid and fell in love with BL.

Terminator; Sarah Connor in a word iconic. She learned it on the fly and in time became hard as nails. Then we have the insulting garbage that's churned out today. These ****ing idiots have destroyed so many beloved characters and franchises for what? Themselves, to serve their own egos, weaker watered down characters, endless Mary Sues in an attempt to step in to the shoes of far better directors, writers & actors? Who knows, maybe they should just try to make something original for once...
I'd far rather watch honest indie films than big budget garbage that's loaded with needless politics that few if any are interested in and that's a fact..
Yeah I'm angry, justifiably so. I like films a lot and these ass hats have spoiled it for the vast majority. TBH I think my cat could do a better job and he's dumb as a post LOL.

Exactly, I enjoyed them too. Many animated films are just as enjoyable as an adult as they are a child.
Then I think you weren't paying attention when watching the film. The character of Buzz in Lightyear does start out as a poor leader. But a good character isn't characterized by their lack of flaws, it's their ability to develop and mature.Lightyear- For those who have not seen it, it is described as the movie Andy watched as a kid and fell in love with BL.

Yeah, he starts out narrow minded and only focused on getting back into space despite it being clear that the rest of the marooned space rangers have settled in and accepted their fate. And yeah, he doesn't demonstrate aspects of being a great leader when he insists on doing everything on his own when he arrives in the distant future. But it's apparent from his actions since the beginning that he cares about the safety and well-being of his allies, even if he considers them inexperienced and ineffectual. And by the end, he's willing to sacrifice his dream of returning to the past and seeing his old friends to instead save the lives of his new ones.
Did you forget that the Buzz in Toy Story started as a total airhead and developed into a great leader despite having his entire reality shattered and at one point lost his mind? If you had approached Toy Story with the same attitude, you'd have the same opinion of that character. This Buzz is no better or worse than the toy version.
I accept your rebuttal, however it was not a matter of not paying attention, but not making it to the end. It’s a very interesting sensation for me regarding anything involving The Toy Story universe, to be turned off by it. And to clarify it had nothing to do with any social themes in the story.
The Outfit. A Chicago Gangster movie like no other I've seen. A quiet, meek cutter (suit maker) who just wants to make suits is confronted with the violence of the mob. Superb performance by Mark Rylance as the cutter. Ending was a complete surprise.

Part of the fun of The Outfit is its continually self-renewing demeanor that will keep the viewers guessing until its final moment.

The Long Hot Summer (1958)- Classic story based in the 1930s Mississippi based on 3 Faulkner stories. Great performances by Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Orson Wells.
Nope (2022) by Jordan Peele.
I don’t want to spoil this movie, so I won’t say much. UFO? Airplane? Rocket? What is happening here?
Nope is an intriguing movie with an intriguing concept. I definitely like it and I will watch it again.

Shark Attack 3 - Megalodon. This thing eats anything, its the best cure I know for depression. My mate watched it after his Nan died and he was howling
Just finished Stranger Things and really enjoyed it (I often think that feels more like the Dr Who of my youth than Dr Who is now) plus we also watched Thirteen Lives on Amazon - thought that was very good...
