Still as fun as we remember it. Taking the cartoonish bits aside, the movie is a great example of a hero/revenge action crowd-pleaser. It's like a nice pop-corn update of the classic swashbuckler picture of Old Hollywood. Banderas fits perfectly in the role.
Very silly movie, as it’s supposed to be. It’s just not good cinema. However, we agree with one commentary out there saying that this is the most expressive on-screen Keanu Reeves we have ever seen.
Don't involve the audience in your marital problems please. That kid, Adrian Alonso, is good in this movie. Almost all of his reaction shots are full of intense emotion. We liked him.
Kinder-garden humour. It gives the impression that it's a vehicle for the "below-the-line" departments (costume design, set design, etc.). There's even some Caligari inspiration floating around. We watched it for curiosity and to not go blindfolded for the 3rd entry. Hey, there's nothing much to watch in cinemas during COVID-19. Allow it.
Good "docu-drama." Eloquent and concise. Too bad that its message will enter one ear and come out from the other in one swift move. When the end credits roll, everyone will be back sending selfies and hitting like buttons in their distorted social media bubble. Well, don't say nobody warned you.
Yet again, another Marvel movie. This one has a nice pace, but it’s probably better if they consider doing a more “polished” remake with a better script. Full review on our website.
It is clear that they spent a lot of money in the visual effects department (VFX work is noteworthy), but this movie is just a writing mess followed by an erratic editing work. Only Dominique Fishback deserves some attention. There's something about her. In a better role, she could shine. This one goes straight to our Netflix Junk list.
Crowd-pleaser that works for us mostly because of the lead actor's charm. He's enjoyable to watch. He looks genuine. His interactions with Johnny (Umesh Tamang) are a highlight. The trailer makes it look that it's gonna be more of a comedy than it actually is; and that surprised us because it manages a respectable balance between comedy and drama. At least when it comes to their key scenes, all three actors deliver (Samy, Nadia, Johnny).
Just from a contemplative point of view, the photography makes it worthwhile. Unlike Everest (2015), no green/blue screen use was spotted. It makes it feel "authentic." If you take the silliness aside (which to our taste was bearable), it's a satisfying option for a get-together movie night.
Underwhelming pilot. Production “values” shine, but it “feels” like it has been assembled by “amateurs.” Lousy writing by Favreau—beginning to end (just look at the ridiculous start: “That’s me?” Duh!!!) Göransson did good in Black Panther (2018), but the musical score in here is goofy. Not even the CGI effects are outstanding (the spaceship was fantastic, but the creature animation felt clumsy). Cheers to DP Greig Fraser though. The infiltration action sequence and stand-off was unexceptional. Only the baby Yoda at the end is gonna make me return next time. Poor character introduction.
One of the key aspects that runs throughout the documentary is that players come and go, but Barcelona's team philosophy remains. That story-line craves more game footage and analysis to display the tactical elements at play, however, it comes short. Enjoyable watch anyway. Musical score was exhilarating. According to the end credits, a sequel is coming at some point.
It was "nice" to see a Scully-centric episode focused on her vulnerability.
