A lot of action combined with a nice story make this sequel a worthy one. Very entertaining!
This was beautiful to look at. But damn near everything was different. Too different. I don’t like what they did to Art3mis. Her personality was so vastly different from the book that if I didn’t know better I’d swear she was a different character.
I’m sure I would’ve loved this movie if I hadn’t read the book. I can say with 100% certainty that I’ll never watch it again.
But man it was beautiful.
Good movie that had the potential to be great if it had followed the book. Instead it took The Hobbit movie route and was more of an "inspired by the book" movie. I thought the challenges in the book were better thought out and had a better ending. And since the main character were aged up a few years, it missed the "high school" start that existed in the book. If the movie existed in a vacuum (not based on a book), it would probably get an 8 from me, but looses some luster compared to the book.
kill me for being forced to watch this movie!
This movie felt like one big monotone conversation, really not worth watching, even just for the sake of it.
Despite the fighting scene being silly, I enjoyed watching it. Probably my favorite moment from all of the movies. But this is still mediocre at best.
way to long for my taste. Hope part 2 make up for it.
Spoiler alert: They spend the entire movie brooding. All of them. Brooding...
If you don't like anything to do with the Twilight franchise, then you're not going to change your opinion by this point.
The acting is weak and forced, the characters have no chemistry and the story line is weak at best. None of the characters are relatable or likeable, the only likeable was Alice and she's more of a comic relief.
Twilight shines brightest once the credits roll.
Soooo booorrrriiinnng. Lost 2 hours of my life...
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.
What a waste of money. Literally nothing happens in this movie.
So I watched Hunger Games 2 last week and wasn't impressed. I haven't read the books and I can only speak for the movies. The first one was good, and had me looking forward to part 2. But this movie, at 2 hours 26 minutes was looong. And not the good sort of long either. It dragged on, the story building upon and post the events from the last film. It felt anticlimactic. Probably 40 minutes in the film began to show signs of a take-off point for this particular story-arc, but for the remainder of it the movie didn't really -- for me -- take off. There were moments of action and excitement, but it got lost in the attempt to build plot, which also wasn't impressive. 6/10 for the effort. Killed my excitement for the franchise and the next film though.
Good for teenage girls and guys trying to get with teenage girls, impress them, or have something to talk about with them. For anybody else, super meh.
Like a Saturday morning cartoon: unoriginal, entertaining and forgettable.
At World's End sinks the Pirates of The Carribean film series after the first 2 good movies, with a mix of unrealistic dialogues and situations that makes the movie nothing more than a farce devoted only to the fireworks instead of being towards an adequate script. Only Depp's, and few more, interpretations don't allow the standards to go down further.
The more I watched of this whole franchise the less I wanted to continue. I guess it´s just not for me. Not everything can be.
I don´t know, maybe it´s the whole pirate thing that I can´t relate to but I don´t get into this franchise.
Again, like the first, it´s a really well made movie for the time. But it has the same flaws from where I stand. Not a great story (althought this might change in context with the next parts). And I must say the Jack Sparrow act wears itself out rather fast - I find it irritating already.
Believe it or not but it took me 12 years to finally watch this. Maybe I should have watched it earlier, maybe it´s just not my kind of movie, but I wasn´t overly impressed. Production is great, CGI still looks pretty good and Johnny Depp is awesome but personally I found the story rather thin.
Nevertheles it was entertaining and I will watch the rest of the series.
I am not sure Nolan did himself a favor by making the movie like this. He might have been thinking "I'll do what I want and if you don't get it I don't care" and I can appreciate that. Or he was more concerned with getting cool IMAX shots - unfortunately I only had a BluRay at HD resolution so I may have been focusing more on story. But the mixing of different timelines is very confusing. You never stay long enough in one place. I can't make a connection with the characters which is essential because how to feel for them and their situation ?
I have a pretty good understanding what happened at Dunkirk because I am very much interested in the WWII history and this never felt like it. I couldn't grasp the scale at all. It was more like some localalized skirmishes put together. On the plus side there is the visuals and the sound which are both great.
Taking everything into account, and that includes maybe totally missing the point, I can only say I am dissapointed.
Nice pictures from time to time.
But storytelling and story itself were pretty mediocre...
Terrible movie with very little depth or any sense of the true scale of this disaster (and subsequent rescue effort).
While the viewer could be excused for not knowing the event surroundings the evacuation of Dunkirk, Nolan took the approach of denying anything else than his idealized version of those events, with obvious inaccuracies that makes the film cringe-worthy at time, almost as bad as U-571. The rest of the time, the little action and almost non existent dialogues do very little to fill what could otherwise be a perfect setup for a contemplative film (see the Thin Red Line from Terrence Malick for an example). This is a big let down and I would rather watch another couple of Clint Eastwood or Mel Gibson war movie than this, which, although isn't intrinsically bad, isn't very good either.
This is the episode that graced the show
A very sad episode. But at least we know the man behind the criminal and we can even understand the circuntances for his acts...in part of course.
While the story-telling and the visuals itself are on point, the movie confirms my worst fear. It wasn't made because there was a story to tell: Instead, it basically retells the story of A New Hope. The intention for profit is undeniable.
Also, major pacing issues are to point out. Ray talks about "Han being the father she never had", and Finn is willing to risk his life for Ray, although these people had only met the day before. Somewhere I feel I missed the time lapse.
Also, the background of things is left UBER-vague, although here I can at least hope the sequels will catch up on that.
totally and completely disappointing. The influence of Disney was more than obvious, what was with all the comic relief? this is star wars not The princess bride. The casino scene was totally out of scope, Luke was out of character and completely bad, and of course there was no plot or story, just a Mashup of the first three star wars. I want to thank all the actors and director who ruined the movie.
This was......... weirdly written.......... Somehow the characters you have never seen before get better emotional scenes than the ones you have. Holdo, who?
