I've never wanted to beat a child in a movie more than I wanted to beat the son, and oh boy is the daughter just as dumb.
Frontiersman has a comically shit year against an overwhelmingly beautiful backdrop.
I spend 3 hours of my life crying a lot
I don't know why was I looking forward to this. It's disappointing.
Had to stop watching. One could forgive the general faith content, but the gaps in story telling are weird.
Further, what overflew my patience, is when the main protagonist question his christian believe directly with "god" (one-on-one). No direct answers, non-logical answers, yet he is ok with it. That when the story got broken for me.
Unless you are devout christian, I do not recommend, it will drive you nuts.
EDIT: upon rewatch, I believe the open bar and pageantry of the premiere enabled me to put on goggles that shielded me from the trainwreck that is this film. Rian Johnson is a sorry excuse for a writer. It will probably be retconned at least 5 times in episode 9.
World Premiere Review: Vague, Spoiler-Free Edition
It was amazing. It still does nostalgic fan service, but nowhere near what Episode 7 or Rogue One felt like. It feels like its own film. It gets a little slow and repetitive in the last half of the first third of the film, but after the major show down in the middle of the film, it's non-stop action that's brilliantly paced. GO SEE IT!
I feel pleased and in high spirits after having seen the movie. It's not a great movie, for the moment I rate it a little lower than The Force Awakens but it is a solid 7/10. It's not going lower. By comparison, I felt absolutely nothing after Episode 8. During "The Rise of Skywalker" I had tears several points in the movie, especially at the end. Overall I feel satisfied.
I really loved the general idea of the movie. The problem is, it's only half baked. They didn't have time. It's unfortunate they lost time developing the arc with the second movie. This happens when you don't plan a trilogy in advance.
Here is how I rate the sequel trilogy
1- The Force Awakens
2- The Rise of Skywalker
3-
4- The Last Jedi
Okay movie, lacked tension.
I was really excited to see this movie appear on Netflix after I saw the trailer a while back but it didn't really meet my expectations.
The plot is decent and Dylan McDermott can definitely deliver the serial killer/dad part but the story was told pretty dull.
Kassi is a cool character, she carried this movie forward.
I was caught of guard when Tyler confronted his dad at gunpoint, didn't see that coming, nice touch but the ending completely ruined that. I get that he'd want to protect his mom and sister from the heartbreak of learning that their husband/dad was a serial killer but it felt wrong especially since Tyler and Kassi killed him, which even if he was a serial killer who wouldn't stop, makes them bad people as well. He was unarmed and out cold at that point so they basically executed him. Also, what bothers me about this movie (and many other movies in which teens are the main characters) is that at no point do they contact the police. They go about it themselves jeopardizing their own safety as the lady who was tied up in her house.
[Insert basketball pun here, something like I call foul / doesn't get off the ground / missed his shot / a 3-point out of 10 movie / I hope Jordan's career can rebound / flat footed acting / nothing but net profits / the script is simply foul lines... ]
If you thought you couldn't care less about basketball, watch Space Jam and you'll see you could.
In what may be a contender for worst live action / animation hybrid, this Michael Jordan vehicle doesn't go anywhere and does nothing but reinforce the cliché that athletes can't act.
Started off as a half decent action movie till the truly horrible third act.
Why would the government not help kill them under the ice, they were quick enough to believe 'the future people'? Just so you can have your small group of outcasts save the world? Why go through more than half of the movie to help 'the future people' and then barely use what you fought for, the toxin? Terrible writing.
don't mind me .. i am just completing the series .. the death scenes were so stupid like... god who keeps combustible drums behind a cinema screen ..that's just so stupid and the drama is too much ...ugh... but i will give it a 2.5 cause it was just fun watching .. and i enjoyed these goofy death scenes.
I gave this an extra star based on the fact that everyone in the movie is so dumb just like the people I see outside everyday.
four hours of drama is more than too much, and a lot of this movie is extremely dated (i.e. racist and revisionist). Also, some scnes meant to be funny ended up just being funny, like the stairs scene.
What a bunch of shallow punchable characters.
It's funny to see bad reviews for this movie, and a lot of criticism towards JJ, but it's clear that all the choices made in this movie was to correct the choices made in The Last Jedi, the movie that was hated by all the fans till yesterday, but now people are praising.
The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie, specially for fans, it's a great way to end this saga, filled with fan service. I don't think I can say more than that without spoiling the experience for everyone.
All the critcs you see here, or on twitter, are coming from people who thinks star wars, a space opera, should be a deep and complex movie with fanfics about romances.
Jennifer's Body is a fun romp. I remember when it came out and I definitely avoided it because of Megan Fox but also because I don't like horror movies. If I had been sat down to watch it back then however I definitely would have enjoyed it even back then. It's not the scariest movie out there and for me that's a bonus. It does a lot of very interesting things with characters. The hot girl and the nerd girl friendship is common enough it's becoming a trope but in spite of the many times I've seen it before this movie came out and before I actually saw this movie last night I actually like their relationship. The movie isn't about a giant schism between them from middle school they're actually friends and that's interesting. I even liked the ending. I might even watch a sequel to this movie because i think there's room to do things with this world. But I don't need it. I'm completely satiated.
The ending? chef kiss. Amazing, simply amazing. Lizzie is really good at playing unhinged character, that's her trademark, and damn she really showed us how awesome she is
This is extremely engaging, the viewer can feel the tension. Especially when her sister sees the flying knife! Boom! cut throat. Boom! knife in her hand. Boom! His brother is in on it. And the ending, the expression change! "Surprise." It's fucking amazing!
Me in 2011: Wow that was scary, but I'm glad nothing like this would ever happen.
Now: Ah sh*t!
In this day and age, a "must see" film. Considering this movie was made in 2011 it is remarkable similar to what is happening with the Corona virus outbreak (COVID-19) even showing it coming originating in China and coming from animals and transferred to humans. The movie is well made and very well acted with none of the actors on an ego trip. This should be re shown in cinemas to remind people how quickly these viruses can spread and the awful way some humans act to preserve their own lives.
I feel like I don't want to be too harsh on this film but I have to be sadly....
Boring. Slow. Uninvested. Unoriginal.
A very slow and predictable plot. Uninspiring turn from Tommy Lee Jones, who phones in his performance with all the class of a 1980s Motorola cell phone! I couldn't have cared less about whether this father/son relationship had any development. Why? Because Brad Pitt's character is also boring. He's a machine - we get that spelled out to us several times.
Now... Brad Pitt acts well. The visuals are good - but in a world of Interstellar and Gravity, they're underwhelming.
I liked the view of Moon travel. That's the only positive.
For a 2 hour film though, it felt like 3. That's a bad sign for any film. I'll be avoiding this one when I see it advertised on TV.
I'm settling on 5/10 because of Brad Pitt's performance and some of the visuals (particularly the Moon). But I could have gone as low as 3/10 or 4/10 based on my mood leaving the cinema!
What incredible footage! Absolutely loved the music direction too, always pushing, dead set on the countdown. It's amazing what they accomplished with technology no powerful than the phone in your pocket.
Another thing that astounded me is how far behind we are today. We haven't been back to the Moon since the 70's. The speeches from the Presidents were so worldly, humble, and inspiring. You would not see that from the current President. WATCH THIS DOCUMENTRY.
This is the most I've cared about the human story in any transformers. It has a lot of heart and is quite funny too. The music is fantastic and it never lets you forget you are in the 80s. Hailee Steinfeld is great and John Cena does what he does best. The action isn't too over the top. There are definitely the way too much CGI parts but those are few and far between. I would like to see more prequel stories with new people every time without Michael Bay.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise, he could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
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.
I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!
I loved this so much as a kid. I watched the crap out of that VHS, you might say I made that tape... spin like crazy. Get it? Ok moving on.
It has been a long time since I've watched it, and my tastes in film has been slightly altered. So I thought going in that my opinion would be vastly different. But you know what? This is still really fun to watch. Sure, if you look at this scientifically it makes no sense at all. Any sort of reason or competency by the characters must have been blown away (get it? laugh this time? no, ok).
However, if you look at this as a fantasy type film, it is very enjoyable. All the characters are super over the top and fun, especially Philip Seymour Hoffman. He matches the craziness with his line deliveries. The explanation of the 'suck zone' would not have been nearly as entertaining without him.
If you're looking for a serious drama, then tornadon't watch this. But if you want to have some fun with a group of friends, then by all means tornadoo.
A classic tale of love in times of war, "The Last Of The Mohicans" is a very good film with great locations, decent acting and a great musical score to go along. Definately something everybody should watch at least once.
It is a little frustrating that Hollywood has again turned the last book of the series into two parts. However, this is very entertaining, decent action, good special effects, and a silly but engaging plot line. I know many won't agree, and the critics have been particularly harsh, but this is not as terrible as people have made it out to be. Science fiction is a license for writers to create new and visionary worlds so it is unfair that people are being negative over the story. It's not realistic and it was never meant to be. It's a fantasy and a very enjoyable one.
