What a blooming fantastic sequel!
Loved every minute of it.
Finding Nemo is easily one of my favorite animated adventures of all time, so, I wondered how this sequel would stack up...and it does, very well! The spirit of adventure that was present in the first flick is even more apparent here, and many of the beloved characters make a return. Pixar's animation is amazing; seriously, there are times where you'll almost think you're watching a live-action film instead. Some big revelations about Dory's character are made here; I won't give them away, but, I will say that, after watching this, you'll never watch the original film the same way again. In short, anyone who watched and enjoyed the first outing with Marlin, Dory, and Nemo--and, seriously, who didn't?--should check this out if they haven't already. Just make sure you stay tuned for a bonus scene after the credits roll.
Familiar, but hilarious, heartwarming and extremely entertaining
Everyone badmouthing Finding Dory can pretty much fuck off. No, I don't care if it's your opinion or not, your opinion is shit. The movie picks up right where it left in terms of pace, themes, plot and story, nothing wrong with it.
What now?
Not much. He can do better.
If you're about to watch this movie, you need to know that this is about FRIENDSHIP and not love.
You'll never be able to forget the beating heart part...
The worst in the series according to the critics. Probably the best for me.
Highly recommended if you like adventure movies.
Entertaining. Silly. Memorable scenes. Too ridiculous for some and people find Willy annoying. I thinks she fits in well. After all these years I still zone out on the story part in India.
Clairy was exceedingly useless this episode. Plus, this whole thing with Simon? I don't like it. The fact that she only saw him as a friend was a huge part of the books.
When's Sebastian coming so all this sibling shit can be resolved and the natural order can be restored?
Dear Sara Hyland, please never try speaking with a british accent again. Especially to Alan Van Sprang's face (he did a super job in Reign, hers on the other hand was plain cringy).
I wonder how hard british actors cringe when american actors try speaking with a wretched british accent to their faces.
Also, we're back to Clace! Yay! That scene with the rune and the golden light was artistically beautiful.
And, c'mon. Throwing Jonathan off a bridge? If there was ever a cliched way in which someone is most likely to not die, that one is it.
A 100 minutes movie that I watch in approximately 15 - 20 minutes by continuously skipping everything.
Allright, let's talk about this masterpiece. I don't watch horror movies since 8 years ago. I stopped because they were unbearably repetitive. Always copying each other, never coming up with something really "new". This one is different. This one is simple and effective. The plot is original, the acting is quite good. It perfectly unifies the feeling of being constantly chased, with the feeling of protection. Given by the friendship. Like "okay, we believe you, there's a monster. We will run together". I don't know, there's something touching in being in trouble and getting away with your friends. Most important thing: it's not the classic horror where nothing is explained, there are plain and logical limits, even for the monster itself. And that feels extremely good. It definetly made me feel inside that story. Extremely underrated.
Looking forward to a sequel.
I watched it randomly on netflix cause I was bored af and
I literally finished all the episodes in one afternoon.
Just superb. Fantastic. Perfect. I can't find the right words.
Everything seems so nonsense, without logic, put there without any reasons, and then. In the end. EVERYTHING, AND WITH EVERYTHING I MEAN E V E R Y T H I N G, even the smallest hole in the wall or the dog on the street has his reason. You have to watch it to understand. Definitely.
And then, the last 5 minutes throws each of your certainties into the toilet.
Can't wait to see next season.
This is one of those movies that is filled with cliches. At times you know exactly what cheesy line will follow. Either way, It’s fairly enjoyable but definitely far from good. If you enjoy movies like The Princess Diaries and Monte Carlo you’ll most likely enjoy this too!
"I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do."
wow I think that I will never watch this film again! Not because it's bad, it is an absolutely powerful film but very tough to watch! I always heard great things about Mysterious Skin but I wasn't expecting something so painful and dark, yet so good!
Such a deep, brutal and disturbing story with phenomenal acting, specially by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I am still processing it. Man, it's so sad and depressing! Great film.
“Moonlight” is the kind of movie that doesn’t need great events, twists, a breathtaking climax, to support the narrative. It’s delicate and sensitive in the right measure, discussing important topics (bullying, homophobia) and leaving its mark.
Quietly powerful, this film gets under the skin without the need for grandiose melodrama. Superb performances from all the actors staging Chiron's life; I only wish there was more time with each one of them to fully flesh out the character.
There’s honestly some controversy surrounding sick-lit. Things like glorifying diseases like cancer and depression and even suicide. Here’s what I have to say to that: you can’t make everyone happy. There will always be someone mad about something – you’ve just got to pick and choose who you listen to. Personally, I understand the direction in YA. It’s basically the new fad, moving from the dystopia/apocalypse sub-genre – which means we have a little bit of originality on the rise – and a potential in different areas. This film surprised me in ways I never really thought it would – mostly in the chemistry between our two leads – it was extraordinary.
Let’s dive a little deeper into that, though, and break down Everything, Everything to interpret the stars.
PEOPLE SCORE – 10/10
Acting – 2|Characters – 2|Casting – 2|Importance – 2|Chemistry – 2
As with any good romantic drama, you need the people category to be scored highly, if not perfectly. Everything, Everything scored a perfect 10 in this category. The acting was full of emotions that twist and turn, but most importantly, any audience could connect with. When it comes to the characters, there’s not many of them, but I think they were all pretty memorable – even the ones not in love. Casting-wise, I wasn’t sure how it would all play out before watching it, but I now feel as if no one could play these roles better than who we have in front of us. Each character has their own reason for being there…as well as background, which forms their identity and ultimate purpose. Chemistry? Man. You will probably never, ever, hear me say this again, but these two were adorable together. That innocent tension and those shy awkward behaviors were actually really well done, so I applaud them.
WRITING SCORE – 10/10
Dialogue – 2|Balance – 2|Story – 2|Originality – 2|Interesting – 2
Next, we’ll take a look at the writing category, which also received a perfect score. First, the dialogue. When a film focuses in so intimately with the main characters, it doesn’t have a lot to go on but the dialogue. So, I’d say the speech was certainly an important element in this film, even if the lines weren’t always memorable. The balance of the film couldn’t be more focused and in tune – as most of the film takes place in one spot while the world revolves on without her outside. The story is sort of like Bubble Boy, except taken a lot more seriously…and I may have just not have heard of them, but I have never seen a movie like this before. The concept is interesting and the execution is interesting. It’s hard to say where the film will go when there’s not a lot of options for the girl in the first place.
BTS SCORE – 8/10
Visuals – 1|Directing – 2|Editing – 1|Advertisement – 2|Music – 2
Behind-the-scenes also got an okay score. The main areas in need of improvement were the visuals – which was as basic as you can probably imagine it would be, and the editing, which was average in a way that I think anyone could do the job. Everything, everything else done perfectly…see what I did there? The director had a good eye for camera placement in general, as well as how to tell an efficient story, the film was as-advertised, and I actually liked the music and scoring choices used in the film.
NARRATIVE ARC SCORE – 10/10
Introduction – 2|Inciting Incident – 2|Obstacles – 2|Climax – 2|Falling Action – 2
Moving on to the narrative arc category, which surprised me in some ways. The introduction really just introduces us to characters and why Maddy is in this situation. The inciting incident is when good ol’ Olly brings cheesecake to the house and the two fall for each other, which creates friction and obstacles in several, several forms. The climax is a mix of a decent epiphany and action made, which was definitely a culmination of everything else, and the falling action returns us to a new norm…everything was definitely in place here.
ENTERTAINMENT SCORE – 6/10
Rewatchability – 2|Fun – 2|Impulse/Buy – 0|Impulse/Talk – 0|Sucks you in – 2
Now, how entertaining was it? I think it was pretty darn entertaining in parts. For one, I’d definitely consider a film I’d have no issue rewatching again, I think it’s a movie that can suck you in from the get-go and have you interested in the film throughout – which is where the “fun” subcategory comes in. I definitely had fun watching the film. The only thing I will say is that I don’t think I’d care to really buy or own the film, nor do I care to talk to others about it. It’s not that kind of film, where it blows you away to the point where it needs to be known. No. It’s just a good movie to check out sometime.
SPECIALTY SCORE – 50/50
Drama – 10|Romance – 10|Concept – 10|Amandla Stenberg – 10|Halfway Decent – 10
Alright, guys. We are now finally onto the five specialty questions that I asked before seeing the film. Being a dramatic romance, how was the drama and how was the romance? These are easy. It’s definitely heavy in the drama when it needs to be and always incredibly romantic when it needed to be, as well. This is why I sometimes like drama romances more than rom-coms…these are believable and audiences can really connect with the characters, full points to both of those. The concept of being allergic to everything is interesting if done right – so did they do it right? I believe they did – yes. They explained the condition and even gave a few examples here and there. Full points. I’ve seen Amandla Stenberg in one other film – The Hunger Games, and I can officially say that she shines even brighter in this film. Full points. Finally, was this film halfway decent? Of course it was, full points!
TOTAL – 94/100
Uriah wasn't really in the rest of the movies. He was a pretty important character in the books. #ShiftvW8
Critics have panned this, but I thought it was actually quite good. Shailene Woodley continued to be great as Tris and although the other characters appeared to have little to do, the plot moved along well and ended with a great premise for the final movie. Sure the series has not been as strong as the Hunger Games, but then the original story wasn't and it doesn't include Jennifer Lawrence
a episode isnt bad because a character died, fu*k people who is downvoting here and IMBD because of Lexa's death, it was vital to move the plot foward, there was no other way and Lincoln died, yes, but we dont know the repercusions is going to have
also characthers die all the time in shows like this, get over it its FICTION, chill and enjoy the plot please.
edit: WTF with people harassing writers and producers of the show? the fanbase is disgusting
Yeah well, love that they actually have the guts to kill off main characters. Must admit, it was hard to let both Lincoln and Lexa go this season, but keeps the plot going. We need an epic revenge on Pike. Great shows kill main characters.. (Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy (the most Epic of them all)). Anyways a great episode !
Trakt doesn't allow emojis in comments, but If it were, my comment would be somerhing like: The soundtrack in this show is fire emoji fire emoji fire emoji.
Pretty much a perfect miniseries. Intriguing characters and overall story with amazing actors, great cinematography and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.
After Season 2:
I was really worried that this season might be shit but it actually turned out great. It's IMO as good if not better than S1 (although quite a bit less funnier and even more depressing at times) and it provides a lot happier ending for the characters which is nice. It also deals with the psychological aftermath of S1 really well.
But the best thing in the show still was the soundtrack. It somehow got even better than S1.
THIS WEEK'S CLIFFHANGER IS INFINITELY WORSE THAN THE LAST. WILL WE SURVIVE UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY??
Shaun was HILARIOUS in this episode!!
