Great movie, however plenty of scenes reminded me of The Lion King.
Drawing from a near perfect body of work, Ratatouille is my favourite Pixar film.
Patton Oswalt, a self confessed lover of fine food, brings such credibility to Remy that I can't imagine his words passing another actors lips. With his every lament in the kitchen you can almost smell every ingredient and it never fails to make me salivate.
The great Peter O'Toole is masterful in his contempt and condescension as food critic Anton Ego, which makes the pay off all the more moving.
Director Brad Bird's (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles) vision of Paris is gorgeous and Michael Giacchino's Oscar nominated score brings it to life.
More physical with its comedy than other Pixar films, it is a testament to the skill of the animators as it is all key framed, not motion captured.
More than just an ode to kitchen artisans, Ratatouille is about seeing through convention and letting nothing stand in the way of your dreams.
Now excuse me, I must away to the kitchen, I feel a dish coming on.
Good film, makes impression and stays in memory.
Very enjoyable 90s flick. Applegate is fantastic on this film and if you like the 90s cinema this movie will do it for you. I really liked it
The movie is way too unrealistic. No one plugs in a USB cable on the first try.
I know this is generic as only generic gender swapping comedies can be, but for some darn reason, I like this one quite a lot. Both Zegers and Armstrong do a good job, and even though it's predictable as hell I had a good feeling when it ended. Makes for light hearted and fun hour and a half.
2 hours is too long for this movie...
OH MY CHILDHOOD :')
I watched it after reading that it was a feminist movie. It's way better than I expected (though the french voices are awful) even if the scenario is really obvious. It's sweet and just what I needed in a bad time of my depression.
The bad point for me was the cliché of homosexual people.
i loved what. and i've been waiting for a new special from bo since, and this did not disappoint! still dark and brilliantly funny, as well as artistic and clever. i've never watched a stand-up special that made me think as much as this did, which isn't a bad thing, it was very different
Just got back from seeing this. Here is what I'll say right off the bat: It's not nearly as bad as I anticipated based on the reviews going in. If the entire film was exactly like the first 30 minutes, I would LOVE this movie. Sure it would have been 2 hours of set up, but how much fun was that first 30 minutes?!
THE GOOD
Harley Quinn. Robbie lives up to the hype on this. Seeing the ads I wasn't head over heels. I just wasn't seeing the charm of it in short bursts. But seeing the movie totally reminds me of watching the animated series, which I haven't revisited in awhile. Makes me want to go back. She was the best part of this movie.
Will Smith. I imagine fans of Deadshot will have plenty to say about what he got wrong about the character. I didn't know Deadshot existed until this movie. I'm not a huge comic book guy anymore, so I was going in blind on this. I loved him. I thought he was great. Still not 100% the Will Smith I want to see up there, having a blast, but this was pretty damn close.
The music. They went the Guardians route with the soundtrack and it works. I'm a sucker for a recognizable old jam in a movie and there are plenty in this.
Ike Barinholtz. Big fan of this guy and he's friggin' hysterical here. He was a big part of that first 30 that I loved so much. Seeing him interact with Harley, etc, was great.
THE BAD
Everything after the 30 minutes of "We're putting together a team." Once they're assembled and the completely ridiculous plot begins, and the long stretches of boring make you even more aware of how many leaps you have to take to believe the plot, the more checked out I became. I know you have to allow some suspension of disbelief in these kinds of movies, but this one asked a lot.
Insanely subpar CG. What the hell was going on with the look of the villain? These were Mummy-level "The Rock's face pinned to a blurry CG body" effects. Just baffling.
The end was the same as every single one of these movies, whether they're good or bad, it's just a group of characters who have to use their skills to battle a CG monster, each of them fail until for some reason the last big thing they do works. Whatever. Also the end look of how the power was shooting out of the building looked very Ghostbusters (any of them really).
The Joker. Look. His Joker was just fine. I liked his look, he was even being kind of crazy sometimes. But for the amount of screen time he actually gets DOES NOT equal the amount of articles I had to see about this dude pranking people on set and being disgusting and sending gross gifts to Viola Davis blah blah blah. Seriously, the PR train on this has been going strong for what feels like a year and a half and it all amounts to....15 minutes, all together? Sure sure this will set him up for other stuff but come on. So many articles about him being in character and pranking. So many. The other actors had to hate it. Especially considering the fact that they BARELY share the screen with him! It'd be like Jeremy Irons pranking the shit out every single cast member in BvS "for his character." Lawrence Fishburn would not stand for that shit.
Anyway, I didn't completely hate it. I had fun sometimes. I laughed at things they didn't want me to laugh at sometimes (so did the rest of the theater). But it wasn't the worst.
this movies is very very great i can‘t forget this film ^_^
The movie itself is not that bad, and I LOVE Julianne Moore, but her as Clarice Sterling (when you already watched Jodie Foster's outstanding performance) just doesn't work.
Woah, splendid representation of what could happen if you sit down and actually talk to people and about yourself, show interest in a person. What a difference it could make and how people can be influenced. Glad I finally got around to seeing it.
The Blind Man is a new creepy and fresh horror villain. I never knew what to expect from the movie. Despite a cliche Horror movie ending Don't Breath is a really crazy movies
Blake Lively's performance in 'The Shallows' is very engaging. The movie is basically a one-woman show. Blake gives everything she has to make her fight for survival look realistic and she really does it great. Her performance elevates the movie above the usual mediocrity one is used to seeing in these kinds of survival movies these days. She's not only easy on the eyes in her surfer outfit, but she also acts realistically and makes you feel the character's pain.
I thought it was a pretty decent and relatively realistic shark attack movie – up until the finale that is. Just before the final fight against the shark, there is an under-water scene involving glowing jellyfish, which just seems completely unrealistic and out of place to me. That scene is something for a sci-fi movie. Then there is the final fight in which the shark is killed in the most ridiculous and unrealistic way imaginable. The payoff in this otherwise decent movie is just laughable and something I would have expected seeing in a Sharknado installment or something.
It's too bad that the movie doesn't hold up until the very end, but it is still a rather decent survival movie. Watch it for Blake Lively's great performance, if nothing else.
My first shark movie in a theater, and was definitely worth it. The breath-taking views and scenario are a show aside. Blake Lively is amazing too. Also, glad that the seagull made it. ♥ haha
There is nothing spectacular to see here, 80 minutes of movie is about right for this type.It wasn't bad i enjoy it and not get bored
While the Shallows isn't one of those big summer movies you waited for. The Shallows is one of the better summer movies. Due to a solid Blake Lively (Savages) and it's at least a convincing shark attack movie until the end that is.
The movie had me at the edge of my seat throughout. Even when it got unrealistic by the end; I still rooted for Blake Lively's survival.
Heartfelt, funny and moving, this is a special film.
They put a great cast together. Selena Gomez is underappreciated as an actress, but her acting is very genuine and convincing, I am positively surprised.
I have to say I only watched it because of Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez. But I got so surprised. Every cast members are awesome and this is so real, touching, and funny too. Dot/Selena Gomez's insults are just magical. I really really liked this movie !
I have to admit, I thought this was going to be another clichéd sick kid falls for obscure girl trope. No, The Fundamentals of Caring is something very special, the performances from everyone were SO real - incredible talent. Craig Roberts played Trev so convincingly and Selena Gomez' performance was also superb; she has a brilliant acting ability and is lovely to watch. Paul Rudd also should not be forgotten for his amazing performance, this ensemble worked really well together. A totally underrated movie!
Spooky!! Scarier than part 1. James Wan is the master of horror movies :) :)
At the end of the movie, I realized how disturbing this one is! For me this falls in the same category as Requiem Of A Dream. You just don't know what you are watching till the movie finished.
I totally love this movie, is so fucking sick (sorry about my broken english). I stood note 2, because it's that it, a terrible movie, not available for susceptible audiences. If you look for a twisted film, you want to see this one.
Enjoyable but not as exciting as I expected it to be, though I would probably have loved it in book form as a preteen.
My issue is mainly how the "romance" feel so terribly forced and unrealistic, I seriously have a harder time believing in their relationship than the fantasy elements. If they simply just had to have it in there, they could have left it before the whole business with "im going to spend years travelling through time and even join the army all for a girl i met like a week ago".... It pretty much just ruined the whole thing for me, not even preteen me would be satisfied with that.
I used to love Demetri Martin, but was disappointed in this special. He's gotten less funny over the years. I was laughing at maybe 30% of the jokes. Hopefully he'll find the magic again.
movie is cute and has a great message in the ending scene.
plus apparently in that world, everybody ia dedicated Christian or guru abstainer. because the grown-ups there abstain from sexual intercourse and let birds deliver their babies.
I mean the medical industry would be dying there
Great movie, totally recommended! :)
