Yes, it's a good movie, it's well directed and the performances are great. But it's not the kind of Nolan movie I want to see and it can get boring if you don't know the subject or the real story.
It's a Katsuhiro Otomo film, so you can expect great animation and spectacular action. But it is not a masterpiece, the story is not that interesting.
It's entertaining, to say the least.
It's a good series. It doesn't do anything special, but it maintains the quality of the original, and that's already much more than what the current Marvel offers.
It has aged worse than I remembered. There are some memorable gags, but the story is very silly and the musical scenes ruin the pacing. It entertains but it is not the best comedy of its genre. Naked Gun and Airplane! are better.
Another boring and inconsequential Marvel movie, not much different from what DC would do.
The change of positions between protagonists is the only interesting thing, but it doesn't feel very used.
If you watch it with low expectations, you'll be surprised because it's more fun than you thought. But most of the best gags are listed in its trailer and it lacks "something" to be a better movie.
It's really hard to make a bad movie with Emma Stone naked for half the film. But, wow, here we are.
It is true that Emma is a good actress (however she is a shitty character with dubious ethics), the production design, costumes and cinematography are great. But that's all, an empty shell as one of the quirky characters says.
No, it is not an smart or surreal film. The brief message (repeated once again at the end, in case you are stupid) is interspersed with long cheap porn scenes that do not provoke in the sense it is intended. It's a terrible movie, no matter how many independent film awards it wins.
I know that it is considered cult, but at least watching the season now I have the feeling that it does not reveal its full potential. It doesn't seem like a great fantasy story, or a mecha story, or a romantic one. It has all this, but also many clichés, villains who change sides easily and a story that is too long for what it tells.
Yoko Kanno's music is fantastic, that's true. One of the best soundtracks in anime.
