overrated. the worst harry potter movie, poor screenplay, poor visual. the book is much way better.
When brilliant concept and brillant execution come together, they create something truly magical. A movie about emotions that made me feel all the emotions. One of Pixar's best, instructive for kids and fascinating for adults. There's something so nostalgic about it, the way we see Riley grow up and go through all these emotions and internal conflicts. The emotions constantly fighting, the core islands defining a personality, the stuff they did with the memory archive, imaginary friends, the ideas with the light bulbs... the mechanics of everything is just one of the best concepts ever and it's all fairly easy to understand but still profound. Loved the adventure with Joy and Sadness as they explore this fascinating world, the stakes are high if you care about Riley. Great animation, love the characters, nice score, emotional ending. Funny stuff during the credits, the dog part made me laugh.
With two hours full of suspense, The Silence of the Lambs takes you on a journey inside the complex minds of serial killers.
A must watch.
I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner.
Overall this film was rushed, confusing, and completely forgettable. This movie was really the first In the X-MEN series to show the film's weaknesses. The first was an ok starting point and X2 was a very competent and enjoyable movie that built off the first in every way. X-Men The Last Stand fails in almost every aspect. Even after watching the terrible X-Men origins Wolverine I have to say this is my least favorite film in the entire franchise.
Just like Spider-Man 3 this film suffers from not taking the ball and running with it after a solid second film that left many possibilities. Instead you have Cyclops killed off for no good reason other than Fox was mad at him for doing Superman Returns.
Xavier dies but is alive and well in a twin body in the credits that was conveniently around in case he needed it I guess. Days of Future Past never gave a better answer to how he was back unfortunately.
Days of the Future Past tried to clean up the mess this film made but while raising too many new questions.
wow the hospital was almost empty when he attacks her just a dead Policeman, no staff no doctors...
so brilliant :joy::joy:
Not a sequel, not a reboot, but a wonderful tribute to the franchise that we all fell in love with so many years ago.
Say hello if you have watched this classic one more time in preparation to the 2022 sequel
The final piece of this jigsaw puzzle can be easily predicted, despite the red herrings that are thrown up before the end. Despite this, it’s a passable entry in the franchise, albeit a little pointless.
The ending is really very :asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:unsatisfying:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:, even for a SAW movie.
They should rename the franchise Seen, because we've seen it all before.
Not the best of the Saw films, but better than most of them.
Terrible.
Update to my original 2021 review with new 2022 content. Will Smith's slap was more thrilling than this movie!
It was terrible on so many levels. Spiral is supposed to reinvent the franchise but I don't see any original idea in here. It rushes through a painfully predictable plot. Chris Rock is annoying as hell! He plays the worst detective ever, or he just can't act. The rest of the cast is weak. They don't have enough personality to make me care about. It also doesn't push the gore to its usual limits. The traps are very underwhelming and the torture sequences are too short. I don't even care if the victims will make it out alive or not. The twist is too painfully obvious, I literally saw it coming from miles away. The killer's trying to imitate Jigsaw voice is honestly laughable. He sounds so stupid and not even intimidating. It could've been enjoyable if there's no Saw thrown into the mix. This film clearly didn't meet the expectations.
It's a consistent film with a good script, good performances, good direction, and of course so much blood.
a lot of action, killing, blood, naked chicks, sex, good acting!
Just how i like my horror movies.
Better than all the Halloween movies combined.
I was happy to see a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Then I was sad to see him dead in the first 10 minutes. Glad Jamie Lee Curtis was back and finally giving Michael some of his own Medicine. I'm looking forward to the 2018 Halloween when they bring back Laurie again.
Jamie Lee Curtis returns for Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later in an attempt to save the franchise. Having faked her death and changed her name Laurie Strode has built a new life in California, but she still lives in fear of Michael Myers, knowing that one day he’ll return. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, and LL Cool J, the performances are fairly good. However, the continuity changes from the previous films are hard to rectify, and the plot isn’t really that interesting. Still, the kill sequences are intense and well-shot. While it pulls the series back from the brink of insanity, Halloween H2O: 20 Year Later isn’t quite able to rekindle the spark that started it all.
If Halloween was made as if it was a Scream movie. With even the same musical score. This Michael is the least intimidating as well.
Though I always found the movie entertaining. With Jamie Lee Curtis in good form.
This is a bland and cheap attempt to cash in on the "hip era" of horror movies made popular in the 90s by Scream.
“You should see all Halloween movies, they are good” do yourself a favor and skip this one...
Makes the original that much more hilarious to revisit
This film was odd in that (for me) it became less enjoyable as it went along. The premise was great and it started out with great promise. After about 40 minutes it started to fizzle. After 80 minutes I was looking at the clock. I gave it a little bit of a bump on the rating because of the quality of the acting.
Meh. The movie is indeed very beaultiful, but the plot is just awful. Very forgettable.
I am not a fan of this movie, like said in another comment Wes Anderson is a very peculiar and original director, if you like his other stuff you will like this. This is on par with the other movies he has made.
Holy crap! This movie was a mindscrew! I was baffled more than the 1st movie! Can't tell you how much I just wanted Xavier to die. But the fact that it was all prerecorded and Daniel was in the safe, meaning Eric Matthews literally just had to talk to Jigsaw for 2 hours to see his son alive was mindblowing! The call back to the first film with the Dr. Gordon scene and the restroom was whoa! Still, I feel saddened by not knowing what happened to Gordon's wife and daughter after the first film. Can't wait to watch the third movie tomorrow night!
I liked the first Wrong Turn movie and only watched 1 of the many sequels and didn't like it. This movie could have been called something different because its kind of its own thing completely. If you can get through the first 20 minutes of the main characters beating the audience over the head with how progressive they all are, it actually turns out to be a pretty good movie. It makes you think the bad guys are just going to be cliché southern racists but then it quickly takes a turn into uncharted territory. The movie keeps you on your toes all the way up to the end credits and even after the credits start rolling. Definitely worth a watch.
This is a weird one for me...
I didn't especially care for this one when I saw it the first time, but when I saw a few years later it was an ok distraction. Now? Well...after just finishing season nine of the series, this is actually quite good, but that isn't really the truth since the ninth season of the X-files is a shit show of preposterous dimensions.
When the show was at its prime, I Want to Believe is a mediocre episode at the worst and a filler at best. Yet...It has its moments, and Gillian Anderson is as lovely as ever, so it's not a total disaster.
If you are a fan of the series it's required viewing. If not you can safely skip it.
