Ok, so what if John Wick was a Beekeeper? Dumb, but not bad.
Like da Vinci's shoe box diorama : it's well put together, contained, and easy to figure out.
The most surprising thing about this chamber thriller story of a cutter ("I'm not a tailor"), his assistant and the mob in early 60s Chicago is that it wasn't a play first. Everything from the sets to the blocking looks like it was done on the stage first, but no, this original screenplay always identified as a movie, no matter how odd it presents in that light.
What's left is a film that thinks it's more clever than it is (I saw well over half of the 'twists' coming even before they got their bobby socks on), but that doesn't prevent it from looking good. The other plus that keeps the film bobbing above average is the cast, with a Mark Rylance who absolutely owns the lead role and a refreshingly good Zoey Deutch who brings much needed light to this noir production.
Probably would've been more fun to watch in a theatre than a home theater, but that doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable.
This movie is not a sci-fi... This is a movie about drugs and addiction. The way it shows the road down is unique. Drug like diamonds, or shiny precious pills are the reality for those addicted to it. I think it is a great movie but do not sit down to watch it expecting a sci-fi or an action movie.
How come literally every Dutch movie is becomi g about drugs. I was hoping this would be more about the hardcore movement but prepare for another shitty 'drugs lead to bad situations'. Disappointed.
By no means will this be a movie you will love but it will be a one of those funny and silly “horror” spoof movies that you will find amusing.
The first two acts were really interesting, but the reveal was a bit underwhelming.
One of the most overhyped movies ever. This movie is absolute drivel. They essentially turned the main character into a superhero. It felt more like a Marvel movie than a real Predator movie. Will not watch again.
Good strange, bad strange, zombie strange, good Wanda, bad Wanda, zombie Wanda, good jack Ryan, sliced up Jack Ryan, no bree Larson, innocent girl, bad girl, hero girl. Good start, medium middle, bad ending.
Watching the movie, I kind of got the impression that Sam Raimi wanted to change the style of the Marvel movies, but Disney prevented him from doing so, instead reintroducing the same old thing. Yes, you can definitely see Raimi's fingerprints in some of the scenes, and my god are they good! Seeing Wanda kill so cruelly in a Marvel movie gave me goosebumps, I loved the chase scene to death. But otherwise, it's the usual Marvel story, nothing more, nothing less: story written in a forced way, I didn't like America's actress very much (as well as the character), the musical fight is a ridiculous setup.
5/10
Holy fuck how beautiful is Elizabeth Olsen btw
This movie had some good things in there like the shot in the round corridor being a nice nod to the original set of '60s Bond movies, the portrait of mrs Dench in the hallway.... but the ending I could see coming by halfway the movie. And it makes me deeply saddened. Very disappointing. It destroys the movie for me.
I liked this until the last 30 minutes or so. The vampires were above average on the "scary" meter, but I think it was because they had piranha teeth and didn't speak English. Unless I missed something, nothing was revealed about where the vampires' came from or if they survived. That unknown made them more interesting.
The last act of the movie is really bloody and violent. I have never seen such a brutal decapitation before...three hacks with an axe. It was excessive and totally took me out of the story. The sunrise scene was awfully corny for a movie that just got done showing me a head hanging from the shoulders by nothing but skin. I don't think the gore loving moviegoers care much for tragically romantic sunrises.
I did like the isolation and it did feel a little "The Thing"-like on that level, which is a plus. I'll have to say I enjoyed at least the first half.
I had no idea a good, scratch that… great Top Gun could ever be made but I was wrong. A good story with tense action, emotions and amazing cinematography with some of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen. I also think this is Tom Cruises best performance to date. Hats of to the director for not making it cheesy.
On paper this sounded like an interesting action flick. But oh my... what a piece of crap. Ruby Rose is fugly. And not an actress. Actrash with that short hair and trailerstyle tats. The 'story' is also just trash. Cinematic shots are all throughout the movie the same, with side shots of a vehicle moving. So called 'action' scenes are dull and either utter bull or just random and predictable. Everything is aimed at having as many explosions as possible.
And of course. We have here also yet another movie about that all police are white and crooked. Right.
I cant find a single positive thing about this movie. Well ok: it's short.
this might have been a decent movie if they didn't have Kevin hart.
Mostly a funny action movie. Your enjoyment will depend on how much you liked Central Intelligence (it's mostly the same movie) and how much you can tolerate Kevin Hart. He's just not funny. He plays the same character he always does and just won't shut up. You can feel the quality of the movie, going up each time Woody Harrelson is on the screen, and then sharply tanking when Kevin shows up. And btw. Kaley Cuoco is here just so they have another "known" actor in the credits. Her character does nothing, and without her, the movie would be exactly the same.
I did not like this. I went on a time travel movie binge after pre-destination and this was recommended. So I was used to figuring out the intricacies of time travel movies. Normally I can understand them after a while, but I could not follow at all during this. Also, its a short movie so it ended before I could figure out wtf was going on.
Loads of gore. A bit too much for my taste. Some funny parts in there, but overall the movie just made no sense at all. Huge plot holes, for as far as there was a plot. The whole story around Kate having the need to save Geeta was nonsense, with all the facts around that... Especially Kate walking around alone in between hordes of zombies, going into a huge building and just by pure luck (?) finding what she is looking for, etc etc. Probably the worst part of this movie from a plot point of view. But it was so nonsense that it brings down the rest of the story also, even further. Too bad and not needed. Everything else was extremely predictable. Too predictable.
Overall maybe it's an enjoyable zombie movie if that's really your thing.
But for me, the movie made me feel sad and perhaps even a bit depressed. Too negative and pointless.
Not funny.
Not remarkable.
This is a sexist movie where all man are evils.
Starts really good, but towards the end it's just getting absurd. Could have been a really cool movie!
Pacific Rim: Uprising can simply be described as a disappointment. A messy script with some lacklustre character development and some poorly-executed villain twists and turns. John Boyega and Cailee Spaeny bring something new and exciting to the crashing of Kaijus whereas the ‘new recruits’ really have nothing to do (or say) creating lacklustre action scenes. Burn Gorman’s Dr Hermann Gottlieb is a highlight amongst the returning cast who really deserved more from a boring unimaginative sequel.
The California Highway Patrol did not endorse this movie...neither do fans of comedy movies
Solid sunday afternoon/evening thriller - I was interested in this movie mainly because I'm a big Hannah-fan from former tv show Dexter and Yvonne does a good job performing the role of Caroline. Also as a guy, seeing a naked Yvonne Strahovski is pretty good i'll tell you that - oh and surpsiring end/twist!
