Really enjoyed this - way better than those stupid churned-out Furious chase movies... it actually has a story... and acting!
The movie was absolutely exhilarating during the action sequences, especially the car chases. But, the second the action sequences stop, the movie grinds to a halt with stereotypical writing and characters. What also doesn't help is the self-conscious need to be cool that the film has. Some would call it style, I would call it distracting.
One last job? Seen it before. And the characters in the film are cardboard cutouts. The worst of the bunch is Jamie Foxx's character Bats. Bats is a homicidal maniac who is hired by Spacey's Doc for a two jobs. Doc seems to be a very careful man who plans meticulously. Why Doc would pick an unhinged impulsive person like Bats to do a job is beyond me. The whole thing reminds me of the same flaw in Michael Mann's otherwise excellent heist film Heat where De Niro's McCauley hires a similarly homicidal and impulsive Waingro onto his team.
Did I like the film? Kind of. Yes, for the action sequences that are fantastically shot by Bill Pope and edited by Jonathon Amos and Paul Machliss. No, for pretty much everything else.
awful plot, wonderful job. congratulations to the people responsible on creating the animation, bad job to those who created the history
Scales new heights when the film takes to the streets but hits potholes whenever it tries for quieter character moments.
This movie is your brain on drugs. Lots of stuff going on, but someone forgot to include coherency... and a plot.
The premises were good, and the idea is original. The film, however, is full of errors in the plot and random things.
great Actors but but terrible movie. The first part was okay but the end of the movie... no no no
I recommend watching Florence Foster Jenkins: A World of Her Own before you see this movie; it basically is a documentary on Florence and just how delusional she was and how the people around her basically took her money by giving her praise. I did enjoy this movie with Streep (and I am not 60+ years old). This movie was good, it stays true to Florence's character since that was just how she was; she's KNOWN to be the world's worst opera singer and the movie delivers in showing that and showing her iconic moment of selling out Carnegie Hall. It's silly and touching at times. If you're in the mood to learn a little bit and have a few laughs, I recommend this movie. If you want to know more about FFJ before seeing this movie, watch the documentary.
All the moral complexity and historical sensitivity of a Disney sequel.
At least Judi Dench is brilliant. As usual.
First off, from a technical perspective, this is a masterpiece. Everything that is shot in a ship looks phenomenal. The moon landing itself is breathtaking. See this in IMAX if possible. That being said, everything outside a ship is just ok. The acting is good overall but I’m not sure if it Oscar worthy. Claire Foy really gives the best performance. It feels a little too long. They used shaky cam a little too much. It makes sense on the ship scenes but it felt overused on the ground drama. It might be my least favorite Chazelle movie but this is still a great movie.
World Premiere Review: 11/14/16
Frozen: Tropical Edition. But, that's not a bad thing. It's a really good movie with amazing animation, charming story and excellent songs (if you're into that). It's by no means flawless. Repetitiveness is the main issue, especially with certain physical humor which is done to death, particularly the wonky eyed chicken. I won't spoil what it does, but I found myself going "AGAIN?! COMON." Adults will find it charming and kids will think it's hilarious.
As good as the first film? No, not really, but then sequels rarely are. It was big and bold, but the story was a little weak. However, the movie is still very entertaining in parts, and while I perhaps wanted a little more plausibility, it may be that I had unrealistic expectations for a film of this sort. Great action, a delicious turn from Julianne Moore, a rocking soundtrack, and a mincing turn from Keith Allen (what, you expected me to say Elton?), made this a film I will go back to. So not as fresh or as funny as the original, but it could have been a lot worse. And remember, before you have a go at me for giving it a lower rating than others, manners maketh the man!
Awful effects. Good jokes, bad jokes. No one can save it from drowning in our list of forgettable remakes/reboots.
Mockingjay Part 2's biggest mistake is being completely faithful to the book, considering that it is the worst one of the trilogy. They had the chance to make the story better but chose to stick to what they had. Being the final chapter of the story, it has emotional bits, but miserably (and unfortunately) fails to sell them, rushing the scenes which we were supposed to remember the most. However, its political and action turmoils are its best parts and were beautifully developed. After all, piecing the four movies together, it remains a good story.
this is one of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. It's boring as h*ll. Even the sex is boring... tedious, too much talking about nothing (and the dialogues aren't all that super either), predictable, drugs and sex to be an end isntead of a means for the story to be told (and as I said, even the sex is boring). Even DiCaprio could not save this incredibly crap movie.
I'm not a huge Winnie the Pooh fan so I have no nostalgia for it. This movie doesn't quite know what it is. It is a little too dark at times to be a kids movie and too boring to fully be an adult movie. The animals look weird at first but you get use to them. Eeyore was by far the best and had all the funny lines. Ewan McGregor was charming. Overall the movie is okay, if you are a fan then you will like it more but if you aren't then you can probably skip it.
Probably the most heavy handed and clumsy exposition I have ever seen in any film, but still really good despite it.
Premium Rush got off to a great start but I slowly grew to dislike it over the 90 minute run time. The immensely talented Joseph Gordon Levitt can't even make his character tolerable. He is nothing more than a typical douchebag with a bike. His character manages to make the plot less believable as it progresses. There isn't anything particularly wrong with any of the performances. Michael Shannon is great as an over the top cartoon villain but the over the top foolishness of the characters ruins what would've been a good film otherwise.
I didn't think I would like this. I was wrong. It is quite a fun, happy, wholesome, uplifting story.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
I don’t understand why waste a short life at home or school if there is only ~20 years of life. There is a lot to see and experience in the world, so mom and dad should offer the child much more than just home and school. This is a poorly written film and not enough thought about children and their behavior when doing it. Mr. Williams played his role nicely.
Samara Weaving! Yes! Honestly didn't expect anything good from this but this was some funny stuff. Just, stop barrel rolling the camera.
What could have been a great movie with a fantastic storyline, has instead turned into a lame comical show.
Everything about this is very meh.
I can't say there is anything about 'Jungle 2 Jungle' that I liked or enjoyed, I don't think it is anything overtly terrible but it's just so boring. None of the cast are memorable, the plot is lazy and the pacing is well off. It does attempt heart, though it doesn't hit all that sharply.
The performances of Tim Allen (Michael) and Martin Short (Richard) - though not good - at least keep the film away from the depths of awful. I also think Sam Huntington (Mimi) is alright in this. There's also an appearance from Jumba Jookiba himself, David Ogden Stiers.
All in all, It's just a very basic and plain live-action production from Disney. The stereotypical 'jokes' don't help its cause, either.
Too many plot holes and unanswered questions, G.
In the Navy you can join your fellow man.
An enjoyable romp with a motley crew made up of reprobates and flunkies.
There are far worse ways to spend your viewing time.
I didn't like this flick very much. The story seems funny at first but is somehow lacking and the overall outcome is very predictable. Even the yellow guys (the minions?!) that everybody seems to find hilarious couldn't sweeten the deal for me!
Didn't care at all for Jeff and Arnau's side story but it was worth it for the main story.
Was DespicableMe4 written twenty years ago? Comical how dated the jokes and references are :/
So, this where I learned that psychedelic cyberpunk experimental film is not for me. Despite two excellent horror sequences (the subway chase scene and the initial scene where the woman tries to comfort the man come to mind) and very sharp stop motion animation, the lack of a clear narrative really pulled this one down for me. The meaningless gore and moralizing anti-sexuality were incredibly off-putting to me, even as a fan, albeit a casual one, of horror and exploitation films. I might be convinced to watch the other films in the series, but this one was, at times, torturous.
