Epicly brutal battle scenes, heroes dying suddenly quickly, as in life. Pathetic commanders and little people who only want to survive. And 100 meters from the battle, spectators literally looking at death through a lorgnette. It’s strange that this happened. There are gaps in logic , but it's a good movie about war - shit☮
For someone who was born in 2001 and not being able to watch Matrix in theaters this movie has a special meaning to me.
Edit: Never mind this was film was a piece of crap
I do not understand why this movie is being so universally panned. I loved everything about it, even if it's not the most unique story of all time. I felt like the casting was absolutely perfect. Rebecca Ferguson took my breath away almost every single second she was on screen. Hugh Jackman effectively portrayed an intelligent technologist and expert who betrays his own instincts about the capabilities and consequences of the technology. The music was awesome, especially Rebecca's singing and the way that it is eventually woven into the plot. The noir-like overlay of the narration was awesome. The environment was unique, intriguing, and believable. The slow-rolling unravelling of the mystery seemed to be perfectly paced for me. I was so busy taking in all of the details of each scene that it never really felt slow to me in the way that others are criticizing it for.
I loved this movie.
Clearly destined to be an underrated, under appreciated masterpiece by Lisa Joy, who clearly understands film noir better than most directors working today.
Thought this was much better than I'd been led to believe, or than the trailer made it out to be. Fan of the book, and it is utterly unfilmable, so this could only ever be 'inspired by' really, and it does a good job in that respect.
Took Brad a long time to figure out what the weakness was though! Considering his reputation he really should have seen it when they met the soldiers in Korea... Massive signpost.
This movie is a lot of fun and such an easy watch! The acting is brilliant and the humour is spot on. The negative reviews are pretty pedantic in my opinion.
I watched this movie with probably too much high expectations (John Landis as director, Pegg and Serkis and Curryas actors, cameos from Lee and Harryhausen) so at the end I've been a bit disappointed.
The movie is not bad, it has its own good moments and some good ideas but it seemed that Landis didn't want to go fully inside the Black Comedy. I'd have loved to see those two characters being much more "evil" and filth. It's at least enough enjoyable to use it to burn 1 hour and a half
i'm surprised there are any drivable police cars left at all by the end of the movie
I first watched this when I was too young to truly get the most out of it, and loved it to bits. The music, the comedy, the action.
It's low budget, but it has fun. It has some of the most amazing musical talent you will ever experience. The biggest musical scenes. And at the time, the biggest car crash ever put on film.
Every time I watch this movie, I find new levels of love for it. It truly is my favourite movie of all time.
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses."
It doesn't matter when I watch this, with whom or where, I will always smile the whole way through. The car chases, the amazing cameos, the dialogue, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd's chemistry, the music, the different groups chasing the Blues Brothers, the humor, HUT HUT HUT, Carrie Fischer, the way the brothers dance, the final car chase especially all the way up to them delivering the money.
From start to finish I always enjoy every second of John Landis's Blues Brothers. It is by far my favorite film of all time. And everyone I've shown this one, there was nobody that didn't enjoy it. It is truly a classic.
Easily the greatest musical ever made, not that it has particularly stiff competition.
Downloading a power source...................... WTF
How is this movie getting such glorified reviews??? While the action scenes are fine, the story is somewhere between illogical and ridiculous.
None of the story lines make any sense, it's just one fight/chase after the next up until the idiotic finale. And yeah, let's connect the laptop of our villain super-hacker to the local network, what could go wrong.
It may not be the most hilarious mind-blowing comedy that I have ever seen, but it kept me entertained and laughing every minute. Keeping in mind that it was directed and co-written by a Python, you couldn't expect anything else but absurd situations and brilliant colaborations. Simon Pegg awesome as usual.
okay, let me get this straight: It's not the best movie ever. It's no LotR 2.
But: When the Movie starts and you just watch the first scene, you are IN the movie. Totally! Storytelling, smart pacing and a genius Ian McKellen. Also Martin Freeman as Bilbo is just lovley.
I watched the movie as a normal movie. no 480p and no 3d and i missed nothin.
Great Actors, great movie.
9/10
One of the best compliments you can give to a movie is that it takes you and wouldn't let you go before the end credits. That's what Max Mad did to me. The whole movie is so intense that my eyes were glued to the screen. The cinematography is gorgeous and make a world come to life. The main characters feel real and you can rely to them. I like it when a main characters isn't the 'invulnerable' hero, so you feel more tenses in the scenes because 'it could go wrong for him'. All this is directed in a perfect way. All of the action is filmed with a steady cam, thank god! No shaky cam but steady and wide shots which make the action scenes a real experience. I have no real faults with this film, I loved it from begin to the end. So I would recommend it for everyone who wants an awesome 2 hours.
His name was Robert Paulson
I absolutely love this movie. I realize Tom Cruise is not everyone's cup of tea but a true movie aficionado can remove himself from that and see that the acting, cinematography, story telling, pacing, music, scenery, art production and last but not least the insight in the rich Japanese culture is nothing short of awe inspiring. A beautiful piece of film making that deserves your respect, even if you don't like the man in the leading role for whatever reason.

There's not a clear consensus on this one by the critics and some complain about the plot, but I thought this movie was very well done. The cinematography was beautiful and the actors were great; add in an emotional story along with amazing fighting and that definitely makes it worth watching. If you liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, then you will like this movie.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and got really excited. I wanted to watch it again, but I completely forgot the name and could therefore never find it. It just got recommended to me on Netflix and all I gotta say is I had dogshit taste as a kid.
Best trilogy ever made, return of the king best movie ever made!
Every time it's over I feel like I got punched in the fucking heart. And I basically start counting days till I'll be ready to watch it again. There will never be movies more soulful, profound, engaging and gripping with everything from fights and visuals to the deep meaningful connections between the characters and the explorations of grant purposes and philosophical differences. Never. I will love this eternally. I wish I could rate it more than ten. There are movies and then there's Lotr. To be honest I have no fitting words to describe this, no funny remarks or beautiful epithets and definitely no slights. I'm just thankful this exists and I got to experience watching it. I'm out.
Absolutely the worst thing ever recorded. Literally nothing about this movie is tolerable, from the intense technical incompetence to the pathetic and self-absorbed persecution fetish. It's bad and dumb. Don't watch this unless you can pirate it. Also, Joshua Wesley groomed his much-younger wife and is a disgusting creep.
Humanity at it's worst. Oh look, new island let's blow it without knowing anything about it, oh look a big monkey let's blow it up too!!! The actors are great, the graphics amazing, the storyline? HORRIBLE
When thinking about who to partner a Neeson character up with, they come up with someone like "Gurty"? That is quite laughable.
What an awful, senseless movie. Acting, even for a Liam Neeson movie, is garbage.
Exposition is as little as possible and as much on the nose as possible.
Villains of this movie are cardboard characters, no depth, no charisma, no background.
They only exist to give this movie some suspense. But since they are depthless characters, you do not care at all.
Fishburne was in this for a quick paycheck, he gets killed off very early on.
Several scenes make no sense, like the end scene, or the scene after the bridge collapsed. You are pressed for time? Let's take a look at the collapsed bridge, because we need to kill one more character off that has no impact at all.
Fighting scenes are lame, Neeson's age is showing hard in this.
The cutting is all over the place. Directing? Doesn't seem to exist in this movie.
While other mediocre movies of Neeson are a nice time waster, this is just an entire waste of time.
This was just so pure genius entertainment, Jackie, Sammo and Yuen Biao are Action Comedy legends and prove that in this classic. I'll keep it short and just say SUBS OVER DUBS!!!!!
Transformers: The Return of Michael Bay is all action and no brains. Which can be said with all the sequels. The first is the best but all Bay has done is remake it with each sequel.
He takes something called Transformers too seriously and makes each film overdramatic and overstuffed. The movies are more loud than fun now.
This one isn’t as bad as critics said though. The 4th and 5th are worse.
