Hated it.
As simple as that.
Terrible way to take the series to. I mean it's not as bad as the prequels, because the acting is quite all right, but it hits so many bullshit moments where I was facepalming every other scene it's unbelievable.
Absolutely disappointing rehash of the first trilogy. Disney had a real opportunity to do something new and exciting with this ipr but resorted to rushed writing with an extremely compressed story that makes no sense and fails to make anyone care for the characters or events. Emo Kylo is an outstanding metaphor for the whole deal.
A good movie ruined by lame pop culture references and political agendas.
Makes the 2017 cut looks like trash!
The movie might be showing its age, or maybe I'm showing mine. The structure just felt off. The pacing was much too slow until the last quarter. There's something grating about Maverick's character—there's supposed to be, but I couldn't really find anything to like about him. And of course the romance is entirely unnecessary, but that's been a Hollywood problem since long before this movie (and still is).
It's mediocre, yet also really entertaining sometimes. In that regard, the closest comparison to this is Jurassic World.
Pros:
- Visuals and cinematography.
- Conflict within the group of characters.
- The characters of John C. Reily and Toby Kebbell (although underused)
- Action, particularly the climax.
- The editing stands out a few times.
- Nicely paced.
Cons:
- Too many characters, meaning you won't care about pretty much all of them. They also don't take their time to develop them, meaning that most of them come across as Fast and Furious cartoons.
- Some iffy CGI (not with Kong, but with the other creatures).
- Some minor moments that felt out of place or coincidental.
- Besides a few gags, all the humour falls flat.
- The second act drags a bit.
- Sometimes, the colour grading is overdone.
Grade: 5/10
Pattinson is the best Batman ever.
he is so tortured, his emotions are sincere. He's the darkest and most precise batman out there.
the visuals and the soundtrack are incredible and take you into the thoughts of the character.
For me it’s a masterpiece.
The most accurate Resident Evil yet and no one likes it. It seems they prefer the crappy, shallow action flicks with Milla Jovovich over a genuine Resident Evil recreation.
It tries to tackle things like porn addiction, queerness, dysfunctional marriages and polyamorous relationships, but ultimately it just wraps things up too quickly and neatly. It even lacked the signature Black Mirror tragic twist. I feared that Danny's son would log on at some point and get virtually raped by Karl.
So it went just like the book. I loved it! Be sure to watch after credits, it has two scenes, Amma killing the girls, and the new friend who got very fond of Camille, and her as the woman in white in the park, that they don't explain, but amma was dressed as Artemis in the book cuz she been rehearsing a play in school. And she kills because as her mother she and her sister she is crazy and is obsessed with attention and been taken care of, and hated the idea of her mother being friends with the two girls. It explains why se run away when everybody stops paying attention in her at the play because of the fight that was going on. She made the hole town look for her. They don't literally explain that but is all there. Oh man, they respected the book and i loved it!!
This is how DC's Movies should have been made. It's action sequences are insanely awesome. Amber Heard is drop dead gorgeous like a goddess in this movie. Jason Momoa is born to play Aquaman. Perfect castings. Don't miss this amazing movie guys.
I really enjoyed this movie but the soundtrack was so awful it dragged it down for me.
Was this episode confusing as hell for anyone else? It was hard to follow.
The last 15 minutes are rushed and spoil the integrity of the entire movie, especially that unecessary ‘courtesy tap’ quote at the movies final scene. Good not great.
Damn good sequel. Why is it fans like to toss this one off as some inferior piece of crap? Is it just because of Glover and how he's the opposite of Arnold? I think that was the whole point, and it works... It's got tons of great action, some good scary moments (arguable some scarier than the first) and it expands the mythology. What more could you ask for? Was there just not enough ripped, topless beefcakes for you guys...?
If you want to waste your time and money, watch this movie.
This is the simplest comment and reaction that I can describe this movie in brief.
I really regret that I chose to watch this movie and waste a day of the weekend on something that is not worth it.
Oh hi trakt
Fantastic film, but I'm noticing a trend with Nolan's movies where you can't hear a word anyone is saying. This movie has very little dialog but so much of it is almost unintelligible. Characters are shouting lines in thick accents with loud background audio.
I also feel like the plot got muddled at some points - What's happening in this scene? Who got shot down? What side are they? Who is this person? Was it the same person as before? I don't know, almost all of the British soldiers look alike. I went with many friends who also said they had these two issues.
That being said: the cinematography is stunning. There's some truly tense scenes in this film. It's well written, the multiple storylines fit together well and it seems pretty historically accurate, as much as it can be at least. The non-dialogue audio is absolutely spot-on, you must watch this in a theater with great surround sound. Interesting choices were made regarding the constant background of music/sound and I think it works incredibly well to set the mood of each scene. Overall it's a solid film but not my favorite.
This movie stressed me the fuck out.
Kind of funny how they prey to a pagan god (Hecate) while fighting "the pagans".
A bit precision between the different pagan realms would have been nice...
It's great to see the franchise finally hitting theaters. The cinematography and score are great! And the plot twist is quite good! I hope that there will be more pokémon movies in the near future :)
The friend zone has been taken to a whole new mechanical level.
I loved Cecille and Harry's rapport! It was so much fun. Harry desperately needs some friends who are not millenials. Cecille's predicament was hilarious. Imagine trying to fall asleep and hearing your significant other dream about being naked in Math class.
Ralph and Izzy were surprisingly sweet. That scene where DeVoe took control of her body while Ralph watched was quite moving. And it really tugged on my heartstrings when he was listening to her song at the end.
Maybe it's just me, but if DeVoe's body starts deteriorating faster with every new power he takes, it seems kind of dumb to keep adding more. Eventually the bodies will only last him like a day. Greed will be his downfall.
These ladies are HILARIOUS! I really enjoyed watching this. I laughed out loud a whole bunch of times and really love the actors in these particular roles. I can already see several long-term quotable lines coming from it. Chris Hemsworth was also a riot.
While it's probably technically a remake, this movie has its own original plot and its own original characters. I'm glad for that. I loved the nods to the original without (always) hitting you over the head with it. Keep an eye out for some old friends.
Having said that, the movie does drag a bit around the 2/3 mark before kind of getting its mojo back for the finale. And make sure you stick around through the credits (which go by surprisingly quickly)!
There are going to be people who will hate this no matter what. But don't pre-judge this movie based on the trailer. Give it a chance and you may laugh as hard as I did.
I honestly tried to like this movie, mostly because of its great cast. But I couldn't stand their shallow motivations, egocentric attitude and silly, sentimental dialogue, that actually made me hate most of the characters (not to mention the cameos from known stars). What entirely lost me as a viewer and made me feel uncomfortable, was a rescue pilot that flees a disaster zone to fly to a far away location to rescue his daughter. I'm a medical professional and I have been a first responder in several critical situations, and I just can say that I truly hated The Rock's character so much after that stunt. After that, I couldn't enjoy the movie, despite the CGI, that I felt as outstanding. DON'T MAKE A FIRST RESPONDER THAT FAILS TO STICK TO ETHICS AND RULES YOUR MAIN CHARACTER. It's such an insult. If you disagree, I'll remind you whenever you need medical assistance and your paramedic, doctor or nurse has to leave the scene of your accident to check on her/his daughter.
Beautiful shots but couldn’t bear this dude’s narcissistic commentary.
Was good overall
So, I’ll weigh in here with a guess that the twins actually do have powers (both of them) but only in a synergistic/cooperative way -- shared powers between them. Both the falling metal bars and the party were incidents where they were in shared jeopardy. When Jordan was at the fortress he was there without his brother, and so his powers weren’t manifest. (Wonder twin powers, activate!)
