It’s a ridiculous story…. But funny as hell! The cameos are worth the watch alone.
Worth a watch gruesome, at some points chilling, pretty engaging, slightly unique imagine a black mirror episode but by a different director and writing like imagine if another company picked black mirror up and made an episode definitely watch it tho
A sports movie that gradually transitioned into a dog movie, and somehow kinda failed at being both.
• After many years, Huang Jingfu has indeed developed his own style. The massacre scene in the church should be considered a classic moment in Chinese cinema history.
• In terms of pacing, the dramatic scenes are better than the action scenes, with the latter half being consistently better than the first.
• The film has grandeur and atmosphere, but compared to its spectacle, the story's content is not as refined. Nevertheless, it's arguably the most substantial Chinese film of 2024.

wow - did not expect this . My First movie from this director and what a delight it was. Decent Story. Good cinematography and acting, music fits. No silly jokes. Sometimes you wonder where it's heading. Intense Moments. Please more of this. A clear 9 for me, only for the mature. Spread the word.
If you thought the Part I was bad, this is even worse. Part II is boring and is just lazy writing.
I’ve seen so many poor movies recently and unfortunately this is one of them
The best scene in this movie was in the outtakes at the end
I'm so sorry, you're kissing your mother, who is also your sister. I'm so so-
Don't talk about it lets just do it
A body switching movie that's been told to death trying to wrap itself into the gold that is the Christmas yearly re-watch. It tries to hard to be THE Christmas movie to be legendary like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or Elf, but it fails. It tries to one-up other body switch movies that went the way of the dodo because they've been done to the point of nauseam, yet for some reason it's pulled out of the old dusty trunk for this movie.
Ed Helms plays the same guy he always does. He has precisely one character and it's been played to death since The Office. He joins the ranks of Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Ryan Reynolds (not there quite yet but almost) and so many that just play the same person every single time.
Seriously, there are some great Christmas classics you can watch instead of this and have far more fun.
Francis Ngannou won for real
Pretty stock standard "based on a true story" courtroom drama with a bit of splash from the comedic sides and some solid performances, Jurnee Smollett and Mamoudou Athie standing out for me personally.
Solidly written, decently paced and if you enjoy courtroom dramas I don't think you will go too far wrong. If you don't enjoy them, this will not be the one to win you over. Certainly not on the level of the likes of A Few Good Men, Erin Brockovich or The Rainmaker but I don't think anyone should be expecting that.
Between this and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial coming out at the same time, if courtroom dramas are your jam you have an unexpected double feature. Again, neither are probably going to light the scene on fire, but for a genre that seems to get a lot less of them than we did 20 years ago, I'll take it.
It's called the Equalizer 3 because it contains about 3 minutes of equalizing
Gal Gadot can't act !
There's no way they could top the first.
...but then they did
Wes Anderson is not for everyone.
A simple but lovely short film about breaking the cycle of generational abuse.
Laika will stay in business forever. You may ask, how? They currently employ over 300 employees at their main location and each of their films consistently underperforms, the last two straight up bombing. May I inform you the president also owns Nike. He's worth 35 billion dollars. To his son, Travis Knight, who just did Bumblebee, this is pocket money for them. I can see the conversations now.
Phil Knight: Alright son, what do you want?
Travis Knight: Hey dad, I just want to make another movie with those dolls. You think you can spare some money?
Phil Knight: No problem my child. How much?
Travis Knight: The usual, 60 million.
Phil Knight: Why, go right ahead, you little wiper snapper! Just bring some of it back.
Travis Knight: Thanks daddy! I'll fund the next one with my Bumblebee money!
As for the movie itself? No idea, didn't see it, no one did.
This was so much fun, didn't expect to like it that much. Glenn and Jay were absolutely superb!
Any review you read saying it isn’t that bad is from people who don’t watch enough movies. Every minute is ripped, terribly, from better films. Bobby Rod saw a few too many Nolan movies and thinks he can compete by plagiarizing his work.
This movie is amazing and very undeserving of the hate it gets. I just picked up the 3 disc Arrow blu ray and absolutely in love with the movie and the special features. it's got a great doc on there as well as a 3 hour version of the movie, which I recommend watching. It is truly a different age of moviemaking with Costner really on a trimaran on those insanely blue Hawaii waters and they really built that atoll that could fit a football stadium inside of it. Crazy!! This would be all on green screen and CGI bullshit. But not here. it's like a 3 hour stunt show. I love it. Watched it twice in two days.
its a good movie! watch it. :)
This is a really good movie. 5.8 on imdb just doesn't do it justice.
Apparently, Adam Driver has now reached the Nic Cage stage of his career.
Ok but not great, lots of wasted time between jokes.
Middle of the road special, not bad. But props for doing it live in one take, no cuts, no editing.
Good, some really funny bits, though pretty tame compared to earlier stuff, very much so compared to real early stuff.
