If you're looking for an action and "turn brain off now" film, just don't watch it and spare us the 6-7 hearts review.
I for one, am very tired from 500$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.
how could a film that bases an entire storyline around a Ratatouille joke not be absolutely fantastic?
Don’t watch this in theaters if there’s a chance of your friends saying a word.
Damn. Just got back from watching Hereditary and I don't think that I've uttered "Holy shiiiiiiiit" under my breath so many times during a single movie. This movie took creepiness to the next level and really delivered as a horror flick with minimal "jump scares". I'd definitely recommend watching this with a nice big audience because it's without a doubt an "experience" you won't forget.
Sorry but f:asterisk_symbol:ck that bunny doll, you don’t go back for that shit if this is happening in real life.
I had kinda high expectations after reading the comments here, and I was really disappointed as it wasn't near as good as I'd hoped. The concept is good, but it was badly executed as it was never any interesting or engaging. Dull is probably the most fitting description.
Qué paja tener que buscar los títulos en inglés. ¡Esta película se llama Relatos Salvajes, carajo!
This is essentially the plot of “The Bélier Family”. Another instance of the time-honored practice of taking a foreign film and making an American version.
This is a beautiful movie. It is captivating, story unfolds naturally and realistically. Cinematography and sound design is masterful. Movie has some unforgettable scenes. One of them is so emotional I couldn't stop crying. This is Alfonso's love letter to all mothers.
The style of this film is honestly the main thing I like about this film. But essentially that covers a lot of ground if we simply split a film into style and substance; the boundaries of which blur as each affects and is affected by the other.
As another reviewer mentioned, the essence of the style feels Wes Anderson-esque but set in a more modern, realistic world. I for one, extremely enjoyed this in the framing, camerawork, character styles, editing and story structure.
One thing I'm not sure about was the character of Earl. But as I think about it, maybe it's just because he wasn't the type of character I was expecting.
I can see why people wouldn't like this film but that's exactly why I do like this film. It's like someone who's unapologetically themselves - can't please everyone.
Just writing this review as made me up my rating by 1/2 a star.
that would never happen to me i don't visit even friends who live a subway station away
Wtf did i just watched
Probably the best brazilian movie ever
WHAT KIND OF A SICK ŒDIP-ISH KIND OF SHIT IS THIS
I'M FUCKING SHOCKED
THIS IS SOME FUCKING TWIST
The movie is not a bad movie. But it’s not about a Civil War. The marketing was very misleading.
It’s a movie about war photographers and being detached from what’s happening. It’s a movie about not getting involved.
Now I want to actually watch a movie about American Civil war set in modern times, cause this wasn’t it.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Smile’:
Very The Ring. Very It Follows. Very Drag Me to Hell. It doesn’t venture into any new territory but, as with these other films, it’s a sufficiently-creepy ride with very convincing performances and a terrifying monster.
Many of the scares were basically ruined by the film’s trailer. I nearly saw every smile coming.
While the monster was definitely creepy — especially in it’s true form — I feel like it would’ve been better if it didn’t speak at all, and just smiled in silence the entire time.
It's not often a film comes along that is worth the hype. But Hereditary is one of them. It has flaws, and some of the plot is quite derivative, but the direction, execution, visual experience and central performance from Toni Collette is where it shines. One of the most terrifying movies from the last 10 years.
7/10
The Action Scenes didnt age well but there are good characters and great dialogues
Marvel outdid itself with this reboot of She Hulk.
I can't imagine having to sit through this movie once more --- ever. Once was more then enough waste of time
