Whats not to love, catchup with the crew of the Firefly class ship 'Serenity' 3 years after the the now much loved TV show ended. Follow this rag-tag, loveable crew on a new adventure set directly after the events of Episode 14 'Objects in Space'. The script itself is based on ideas that were orginally planned for Season 2 (which of course never happened) instead the film now sets to answer all the unanswered questions, fans had from the first season and what can I say, Joss Whedon has done another magnifcent job and Serenity makes you realise how much you loved Firefly. Watch, enjoy and fall in love with the characters and Serenity herself.
This is the most amazing movie I have ever seen. This is art. This movie will become minimum 10% of my personality from today until the day I die. I walked out of the movie theater a changed man. Some of my favorite moments from the movie:
Dakota Johnson starts off the movie by stealing a taxi. Nobody questions this. She spends the entire movie driving this stolen taxi. She removes the license plates from the taxi to apparently make it more inconspicuous (???). She crashes the taxi into a diner, completely ruining it. She still drives the taxi. No character questions this at all. This has become her car. She then randomly decides to go to PERU (????). She drives the taxi to the airport. Then she drives back home in the taxi. This implies that she parks the stolen taxi, which is beat up, busted, and has no license plates, at the airport for at least a week with nobody asking questions.
Dakota Johnson's sole superpower in this movie is vehicular manslaughter. I am not kidding. The main way she deals with the bad guy is by crashing a big vehicle into him unexpectedly. Not once, but twice in the movie. Also, this bad guy can see the future. And it still happens. Incredible.
This movie is sponsored by Pepsi. Dakota Johnson spends five minutes of the movie trying (and failing) to open the most blue, unblemished can of Pepsi I have ever seen in my life. Five minutes she is just holding this thing, rubbing it, stroking it like a genie, pulling the tab, tapping it. She never opens it.
Also, the villain is defeated when the gigantic neon letter P from the logo on the exploding Pepsi-Co factory falls on him and squishes him to death.
There is not a single line in this movie spoken by the villain that was not ADRed. It's fantastic. He sounds exactly like Tommy Wiseau.
During a dramatic flashback in the movie, we watch Dakota Johnson's mother find out that her child was going to have a disability. But in case any of the viewers are too dull to interpret the literal dialogue that she is saying correctly, Dakota Johnson is providing CONSTANT dialogue in addition to this explaining to the dull viewers exactly what's going on. "But I don't have muscular distrophy..." "So THAT'S why you went to find the spiders." And my personal favorite, "You did it..." The way Dakota Johnson says "You did it" is seared into my brain and will be forever how I say those words from now on. They are just too fucking funny.
Dakota Johnson uses the taxi from earlier to kidnap a bunch of teenagers and decides to leave them in the forest for hours. The teenagers literally say "Maybe you shouldn't be leaving us in a forest like this?" and Dakota is just like "No stay right there, byeeee" and then goes back to NYC in the stolen taxi and cries with her cat about her mom and spiders. Then she gets mad when the teenagers go to a diner to get food because she also left them in the forest without anything to eat and without any way to contact her. In fact the moment a teenager mentioned a cell phone, she immediately threw the cell phone out the window without asking any questions.
This movie is OBSESSED with letting you know that it takes place in the 2000s. Britney Spears' 'Toxic' plays on the radio and the DJ is like "This song is going to be a HUGE hit!" Dakota parks her stolen taxi in front of a Dangerously In Love billboard. Dakota spends 120 seconds anxiously listening to a voicemail message on her ancient home phone to progress the plot.
Dakota Johnson falls into the river and gets hit in the eye with a firecracker (exploding Pepsi factory) and is blinded after she defeats the villain. The girls she's taking care of have to pull her out of the river and perform CPR on her. This exact sequence of events (minus the blinding) happens earlier in the movie.
Dakota Johnson then goes to the hospital. Nurse asks "Oh, is everyone here family?" Dakota Johnson says (with the sappiest smile ever, and with a ridiculous bandage covering her eyes) "Yes, they're mine" and "I have everything I need right here" (blegh)
Then the last five minutes of this movie are the most hilarious five minutes I've ever seen in cinema ever. Everyone in the theater was cackling. I was almost crying from laughter.
Dakota Johnson has the fugliest and most ridiculous pair of sunglasses I have ever seen in my life. There is also this ugly fucking SPIDERWEB WINDOW that apparently got added to her apartment that it is never explained how it got there. Also, SHE IS IN A WHEELCHAIR!!!! Girl is just blind!!!!!! WHY IS SHE IN A WHEELCHAIR????
Well the girls she's watching get back home. Then she does the slowest, funniest, most dramatic and comedic turn around in the wheelchair to face them I have ever seen. And the sunglasses just make it so much worse. By her smile alone you can tell she is finished with this movie and wants her paycheck so she can get the fuck out. Hilarious.
Absolutely the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
Movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Treat it like an origin story movie that sets the scene for a larger universe...
Yes, first hour is pretty slow and at times the dialogue is clunky but you can still find enjoyment out of the film.
This was hilarious! Haha
I'll never watch Harry Potter the same way again :')
God bless Daniel Radcliffe :laughing:
Best Fantasy Movie of My Childhood
Solid world building and storytelling! Movie really holds up even now and sets the tone for the entire series. Warwick Davis we love you!
Absolute favourite film of all time. Val nearly manages to steal the show with his rugged good looks and lovable comic relief. However I will always be a loyal fan of the ever genuine and talented Warwick Davis.
Some would call it wannabe Lord of the Rings. Not really though, just because it has wizards, trolls and a quest. Not like they are throwing the baby off mount doom lol.
I always loved it due to the action, fantasy, cast and of course the score by James Horner. Critics called it disappointing due to expecting more from George Lucas and Ron Howard.
If only they had a time machine. It’s definitely a better George Lucas written movie than Phantom Menace and Crystal Skull. A lot less disappointing as well.
The deleted scenes shown in the bonus features should have been kept in the movie though. Sorsha really needed that backstory to why she suddenly becomes good.
I'm very conflicted on this film. I enjoyed Margot Robbie's performance as Stereotypical Barbie as well as Ryan Gosling's Ken. The set design is top notch and I loved the design of Barbie World. The costumes and makeup are also well done. But that's about as far as the positives go. While I thought Gosling stole the show, I wish that we saw more of the Kens and more of Allan, because Allan was hilarious. When it comes to the writing, it really falls flat. Most of the dialogue is spoon-feeding you the message instead of showing it through the film. I also thought that the mother character and her daughter were very under developed and felt very generic. I also found the film to be somewhat unrealistic when it came to the real world. The film was funny but felt more annoying and I wasn't very entertained. Just not for me.
Rape and revenge even more incredible than Prometheus, a girl with a Wolverine healing factor, and Rambo skills, people with 45 liters of blood, people who forget that they have been shot with a shotgun
Like a workday: you go in and get the job done but do nothing remarkable and won't remember it in a week.
If you really want to watch a teenage girl coming-of-age cartoon, watch Turning Red instead.
Jesus Hopscotching Christ, that whole religious thing was so underwhelming after a strong start with Jared :<
Not sure what other people were expecting... I thought it was the perfect blend of humor, action, gore and even some heart.
At 93 minutes, it was a lot of fun and didn't drag at all.
Utterly silly, it was completely brilliant.
The perfect amount of nonsense and fun
Ok! Now this was a good comedy. Definitely a MUST WATCH! Nic is back baby!
This was so good literally- it was pretty action but the comedy was so well put on there. I loved the co-dependent metaphor it made the whole sorry really cool
"I will smash your face into a jelly!" is one of the best lines ever yelled on television.
"you're not gay, you're just...really, really vain."
I'm sorry, but why was Javier's rating so low? HE DESERVES 5/5 STARS. AND ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE IN LIFE. :heart:
I enjoyed this episode way more than I thought I would! I didn’t miss the band at all.
Simone is a damn good friend to Daisy. I liked seeing her be a friend to Daisy and be brutally honest with her.
Americans back at it again, thinking Europe is a country. :sweat_smile: They are in Greece yet they play French and Italian music. And someone was speaking French and the caption was written, “speak Greek”. Oh, and as soon as Nicky said Irish royalty I was like that is not real. This episode was absolutely written by someone who is not Irish and doesn’t understand the class structure quirks of Anglo-Irish titles. Still don’t understand why they changed Thailand to Greece, also Nicky isn’t Italian? Why would they change that?
Best episode of the show so far? Might be. Sam reminds me of Rashford a lot.
It’s crazy how a show can constantly lift you up and put joy in to you so effortlessly. I always feel a little bit better after watching a Ted lasso episode. Bloody brilliant
It really does feel like anything called Children of the Corn is cursed. Not because of the Children of the Corn, but because of the rubbish movies made from anything with that title.
This is one of the worst I have seen. Don't bother
I watched Banshees of Inisherin yesterday and was bored to death , i was afraid Otto was going to be a dud too..but i loved this movie, Tom Hanks still has a way that keeps you hooked to the movie even if there's no dialogs in scene like he did in cast away.and kudos to Mariana Treviño every scene for her was 10/10
I gave the movie 8/10
Best film I have watched for ages, cried and laughed soooo much
I watched it in the cinema with a reasonable sized audience. Everyone laughed. Everyone cried. It's perfect for achieving exactly what it set out to do. It'd be nice if Tom got awards nods for this, but Mariana Trevino definitely needs nominations.
I don't think I've ever been so annoyed at someone not going to the doctor. I get it, it's America but c'mon.
I already wanted Danielle and her to get a place together with their kids. But now shes gone :(
