The Morning Watch: VFX Artists React To Hook, Fact-Checking Dinosaurs In Movies & More

(The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fan-made productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.)

In this edition, hear what visual effects artists think of the work done on Steven Spielberg's "Hook" back in 1991, as well as some of the action sequences in "No Time to Die." Plus, listen to what paleontologists have to say about the depiction of dinosaurs in movies like "Jurassic Park" and "The Land Before Time." And finally, "Gladiator" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" co-star Djimon Hounsou breaks down his eclectic career.

Corridor Crew Looks At Hook, No Time To Die And More

First up, Corridor Crew throws it back to the visual effects done on Steven Spielberg's "Peter Pan" sequel "Hook" with Robin Williams. Plus, they look at the incredible work in motorcycle stunts from "No Time to Die," and some not-so-great work involving a laughable paste of Steven Seagal. They also marvel at the practical teaser featuring the title reveal for "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" and much more.

Paleontologists Fact Check Dinosaur Scenes In Movies

Next, Insider brought in paleontologist Dave Hone, an expert in the behavior and ecology of dinosaurs and pterosaurs, to see how accurate dinosaurs have been depicted across the "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World" franchises, as well as movies like "King Kong," "Dinosaur" and "The Land Before Time." Plus, don't forget about dinosaurs in the "Terra Nova" TV series. The tyrannosaurus rex not being able to see you if you don't move? That's bulls**t.

Djimon Hounsou Looks Back At His Career

Finally, actor Djimon Hounsou has been popping up consistently in movies for a couple of decades now, and he's quite the accomplished character actor. That's why GQ brought him in to take a look back at his career, starting with roles in "Gladiator" and "Amistad" before moving into bigger roles in "Blood Diamond" and "Guardians of the Galaxy," not to mention a voice role in "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and his latest blockbuster action role in "The King's Man."

‘Fear Street’ Spoiler Review: Netflix’s Horror Trilogy Mines Nostalgia While Looking to the Future

Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, a three-week spree of crimes against innocent Shadysiders, ended on Friday. It’s possibly the biggest slasher-movie event since the 2018 Halloween broke box-office records for its franchise and production company. There have been other slasher flicks since then; the bloody body-swap Freaky comes to mind as one genre torch-bearer, seen mostly on VOD late last year. However, with its staggered release pattern — instant summer sequels, now available to stream! — Fear Street has built up a sustained momentum this month that goes unmatched by other recent entries in the genre. We took a non-spoiler look at all three Fear Street films as they launched: Part One: 1994 on July 2, Part Two: 1978 on July 9, and Part Three: 1666 on July 16. Now, as the dust settles in the town of Shadyside, we’re ready to dive into the deep end with a spoiler-filled look at the plot twists, character deaths, and buried themes of the whole decade-hopping trilogy.

Yes, ‘Eternals’ Will Explain Why These Superheroes Didn’t Help Out During ‘Avengers: Endgame’

Eternals may become the latest example of the many balancing acts that any shared universe will inevitably be asked to navigate.

While fans should generally approach movies with the benefit of the doubt (these are, after all, fictional works made up by human beings rather than an actual historical retelling), creators tend to obsess over these sorts of details. That’s why Marvel producers Nate Moore and Kevin Feige offer reassurances that there’s a very good canonical reason the Eternals didn’t bother showing up to help Captain America fight Thanos. Entertainment Weekly has the lowdown on all aspects of Eternals , from director Chloe Zhao’s influences to introductions for each of the main heroes. There’s also an interesting nugget included in the cover story about the movie’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Described as “…largely a standalone story, focusing specifically on th
