that was a strange movie about evil leprechaun with some funny moments.
doubt I'll ever watch it again to be honest
pretty sure the tagline of this show is just "white people suck"...
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. As a huge Disney fan, I have noticed that some recent live-action adaptations were leaning towards a more commercial direction that didn't resonate with me. However, this one exceeded all my expectations, particularly with Halle's portrayal of Ariel. Her voice is TRULY remarkable, paying a beautiful tribute to Jodi Benson, and her acting is pure, sweet, and perfectly suited for Ariel! She embodies the essence of the Little Mermaid, and the movie itself is a captivating, well-directed tribute to the beloved 1989 original. Without a doubt, it has secured a place as one of my favorite Disney live-actions!
Well deserved win. :clap::clap: Not as intense as previous series.
It’s literally so bad. I don’t know why I’m still watching it. The second to last episodes is particularly unbearable, they keep breaking out into song. No offence to any of the cast members or any of the other staff. All offence to Roberto. I am sorry about what’s happening to your father though.
It’s nice to see Marvel do an adult animated show. I don’t think this show is great, but it does have its moments where it makes me laugh. I’m hoping that this show at least does well enough where Marvel won’t scrap the idea of doing any adult animated shows in the future.
what am I watching? I am 15 mins into this episode and 1) it is so boring and 2) I feel like I missed like 4 other episodes because there's a gap from what happened last episode. Seriously wtf is this?
I honestly think this whole season was a waste of time because I can't even name three things that would make this season relevant. It just feels like pure filler with bad writing. I'm sure I could have skipped this whole thing and didn't miss out on anything.
- I can't believe Bear just suddenly remembered he had a camera installed. What an absolute lame "twist" to solve Kenny's death.
- Geraldine was just... pointless? I thought she might be involved with the Twelve or has some personal agenda, hidden secrets or something. But I guess the whole point of her was to have mommy issues?
- I was hoping for more infos about the Twelve when Villanelle becomes a keeper, but I neither know what a keeper even is nor do I have any more knowledge about the Twelve. Disappointing and feels like a wasted story that Villanelle tried to go up the ranks.
- The ending was okay. I wish I could be more emotionally involved, but the whole season was such a drag that I just feel... numb. It's nice they finally chose each other, but I hope that'll be relevant in the next season because the cat and mouse game gets a bit boring by now. And I hope they'll finish with season four.
Assuming that this is intentionally meant to be camp is doing it a service it doesn’t deserve, I think.
Yes, there’s goofy and trashy stuff in it, but they play it mostly straight with the presentation, i.e. most of this feels like it’s trying to be an actual movie. It’s not as over the top and entertaining as it needed to be, like it’s certainly no Malignant or Drag me to Hell.
Instead, it’s one of the dullest experiences I’ve had in a long time.
All of the actors are instant razzie frontrunners (especially Allison Williams, holy shit what a trainwreck of a performance) and the writing constantly veers between human dialogue as interpreted by aliens (or M Night Shyamalan), and unintentionally (yes, unintentionally) funny garbage. I know it’s unintentional, because the intentional jokes that are worked into the script aren’t funny at all.
The story is of course laughable and completely predictable. So many unnecessary, boring scenes, as well as quick bits that are clearly aimed to just be memes on TikTok. Even the crazy stuff felt fairly restrained to me, it’s not nearly bonkers enough to become entertaining. For example, don’t go into this expecting more of the dance sequence, because all of the best bits are in the trailer.
Finally, the filmmaking and visual style are instantly forgettable. Not a single interesting shot or artistic choice in the whole thing.
In short, nothing fun or clever about it, just very typical January horror kitsch that was probably only greenlit as a tax write-off for Jason Blum.
1.5/10
The worst show ever made that I love. Don't take it seriously and enjoy it.
Like:
+ Unique horror movie and very thrilling
+ Let's your imagination run wild
+ Great setting and mystery elements
+ Very heavy on the gore. Keep in mind this is an autopsy
+ Excellent acting and performance from the cast (Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch)
Dislike:
- Ending felt a bit rushed and could have been closed much better
Plot Complexity:
Easy to comprehend
Random Fact:
- The first English movie by André Øvredal
Wow. That ending scene was gold. Luci being mean and cruel to Amenadiel really felt as if he was torturing himself all over again. I have to give Tom Ellis credit for that. He's outstanding at playing a devilish Lucifer but those emotional scenes are as if he was inflicting pain on himself and that is showed in his body language. Tom Ellis' acting is so powerful. And I've got to say, seeing his Devilish side again was so good. He was angry and lost while telling his story about that soul in hell. Poor Devil.
The episode was great overall. Chloe and the Lieutenant have great chemistry together. I'm guessing they're gonna hook up some day soon. So she's special, ah, and the Lieutenant has never felt death to be so real, might he be an angel affected by Chloe? Maybe it's far fetched but that line got me thinking. Lt Pierce's look felt different in that hospital scene.
Amenadiel in the club was brilliant. "Teach me how to Lucifer" and "I know what a prostitute is!", we're golden. He was so funny. And Ella shipping the Lieutenant and Chloe was great. Maybe I'm overinfluenced by Smallville but the way Pierce took the bullet for her reminded me of how Clark Kent would've done it.
Lucifer getting annoyed by the wings was a great scene and so fitting. He's just projecting. Hilarious. The whole once evil, always evil was perfect.
Extra bonus for that slo-mo scene with Lucifer randomly riding a white horse while smoking, rotflmao. That was one for the books.
"Hugs, no drugs", "How to deal drugs", "Helping of his dickness". those lines...
This episode was so damn funny. I love it and can't wait for the next. That Pierce-chloe thing got be intrigued.
I had trouble differentiating between the two cops (Strahm and Hoffman) throughout the movie. Why cast two males that look so similar and then give them identical haircuts?
It feels like it's been a hot minute since Hollywood released a romcom. I just saw it yesterday in the theater with my sister and we loved it. Lots of fun and laughing out loud!
This series has very bad chapters and this is one of the worst. Shame on you.
what the hell, a musical episode again. if I wanted that shit I would watch a musical not that show.
The opening scene was tense, heartbreaking, confusing, and shows the evil and disdain that humans can treat one another with which is scary in itself. The movie is all downhill from there. Perhaps if you watch this ironically, you might see the humour behind the horribly crafted creatures that show up later in the film, I did. However, it will remain one of the worst "horror" movies I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through.
the riverdaleification of scooby doo
these celebrity references are getting grating. so lazy
:heart:x4
Bottom line - don't waste your time. The story itself was mediocre at best. The pacing, however, was horrible. The whole thing moved in slow-motion.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
In case you're wondering, this is more of an educational show, while I thought it was going to be a regular animated comedy. That's OK, just better to know beforehand.
So far, this week alone has seen 3 different musical episodes. The 1st was the Simpsons. Ⅱ was great north. And now Riverdale. I'm hoping that this TV season is not going to have any more musical episodes
They wrote those characters to be so disgusting, that whoever they brought to kill those assholes we would be rooting for him.
I didn't like the episode, even though it had mr Trejo
Liza was wearing that black and white dress!!! I want it :smirk:
This show has nothing exceptional about it at all. It's pretty lame and cookie cutter. Disappointing.
The whole cast was really well chosen, but Malek...Oh, Malek did just a phenomenal job here! He really shows his caliber as an actor, absolutely worth seeing!
Good acting, it is a shame they went with the Scooby Doo writers guild. They had so many options for the writers to do more than making just another cop show. Zombies, crime writers, cops from the future, people with amnesia all fighting crime. Seems that the only professions that exist in TV land are cop, cop sidekick, doctor or lawyer.
Am I the only one that thinks this movie f'ing sucks balls. Didn't like this at all
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Little Mermaid’:
Halle Bailey IS Ariel. She was absolute perfection. From voice to vibe, she captured her essence impeccably. I believe a star has officially been born.
Melissa McCarthy had veryyy gargantuan tentacles to fill. And I think Pat Carroll would’ve been incredibly pleased with what she did with her sea witch.
I thought they built upon the original film’s story in all the right ways. Fleshing it out to make a little more sense. Providing more substance. While not everything was picture perfect, it worked and gave fresh magic to a beloved story.
Bonus Thought: I thought it was a fantastic movie to look at, especially under the sea. Gorgeous colors and visuals. Eye candy all around. And that includes Jonah Hauer-King. :pound_symbol:snack
