Oh Rocky IV, the worst of the Rocky films in some ways. But also the most Rocky in others. Also, the film that is pretty much all montage. I mean, how many montages can one film take? Rocky IV certainly pushes the envelope there.
It is a bad film. I don’t think I could argue otherwise.
But, then again, Rocky. So I gotta love it, at least a little.
A great film, no matter how many times I've seen it, still great
I have been watching TFATF films for 18 years. I cannot be objective about them, they are awesome. Also nonsensical.
On rewatch I think I feel pretty much the same about this film as I did originally, it isn't going to win many awards but it damn entertaining. With much violence.
Also, I'd like somebody to make a film from the point of view of the picts/celts/germanics/whomevers that the Romans invaded without any rooting for the imperialistic colonial empire.
Love this. Probably my favourite of the Marvel 'verse. I
RIP Chadwick Boseman
Ah look, it is very entertaining and as full of action and madness as you'd expect. I could have done with a little more character every now and then, but it did the job.
Car go fast. Nnnnwwwwwoooommmmm. And girls wear short short dresses. http://www.susanhatedliterature.net/2006/07/the-fast-and-the-furious-tokyo-drift/
Technically very good, action scenes were tense. Acting all very believable. But no heart and without that you just don't have a very good film
Entertaining enough in it's way
On second watch this is a bit meh, not scary enough, although a few good jump moments.
I enjoyed it a lot on more my first watch (http://www.susanhatedliterature.net/2017/09/it-based-on-the-book/ ) but it really doesn't reward a second viewing.
I'll still be off to watch the second chapter though.
This is where the true insanity begins. I mean I know the others weren't realistic, but the ascent to surreal genius is almost upon us.
I still really love this film, but the whole Harvey Dent storyline makes absolutely no sense.
Wow, how was this ever thought to be okay, with the racism, and the period jokes, and oh yeah the date rape is cool storyline
This was not a good film.
Not good at all.
Didn't like this at all. Felt bored through most of it. Nothing scary apart from the odd jump moment. Plot was so predictable and dull.
My overwhelming reaction to this film is, man was it boring.
Full of its own importance yet saying nothing.
So I think the title is a bit misleading, makes you think it'll have more of an unsettling atmosphere.
Also I have an issue with the ending, not that it's bad, but it does perpetuate the stereotype that mental health issues are merely fake excuses that let criminals get away scott free, and even trained experts can be fooled.
Underwhelming.
cast were all good but film itself was the embodiment of meh
So I had no idea this had such a bizarre, but awesome plot
Really enjoyed this film. Its certainly different from most films, loved the long dialogue heavy scenes and the slow growing atmosphere.
this film didn't know whether it wanted to be a comedy or a horror, and so was neither.
but i didnt hate it, so I guess it wasn't terrible
First rewatch in a long time, and I really don't think it's as good as I remember. Everything is well done, looks and sounds great. But all a bit full of its own importance and men being menly.
De Niro gives a great performance, but Pacino is a tad too GREAT ASS! To work for me
Oh my God this is a terrible terrible excuse for a film.
Okay in a predictable way till the final third and then it descended into the worst film of the year
I mean none of it made any logical sense but I wasn't really expecting any logic, but this was just plain infuriating and awful
First two thirds of this film were fantastic, but let down by the final third unfortunately.
It tries, but never really succeeds. Also the plot with the wife just never made much sense
I don't know why I bothered as I haven't enjoyed any of the other wickian adventures.
This is a terrible terrible film. Was it supposed to be funny? Because that's the impression I got from the way it listed the dead. It did not make me laugh, not once.
It was mean spirited, I didn't care about any of the so-called characters, and it was boring. One to miss I think.
Everything was well done. But the story was just not for me, felt that id already seen the vengeance story in other guises, and would have liked a different take.
But then again it delivers what the trailer promised so I shouldnt complain.
Really enjoyed this one. Great script, and good acting. Kept engaged in the story, though Lockwood playing Freda was particularly good.
This was okay, but I was hoping for something a little more psychological or at least that explored what it might have been like rather than the straight forward horror this was
