When Disney bought Marvel, people had a lot of questions: How would the universes of beloved characters such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, or the Avengers be affected? Some people had their doubts, and rightfully so; when the Mouse owned Saban, the Power Rangers seasons they produced are still to this day widely considered to be the worst, and many longtime space opera fans feel that The Last Jedi was a shark-jumping moment for Star Wars. Still, Disney has gotten their own franchises wrong, too; The Lizzie McGuire Movie may have been the first theatrically released film to be the series finale of a television show, but it betrayed the now-iconic sitcom on which it was based. So, they could have either hit a home run...or completely strike out.
Well, if this movie is any indication, then Mickey's ownership of Marvel is working very well. This film packed a punch unlike any animated movie I've seen in a while. Some scenes made me almost tear up, whereas others made me want to cheer. The animation was outstanding; seriously, it was on par with Pixar's creations. As usual, there was plenty of action and heroism, not to mention a cameo by Stan Lee, albeit one after the credits.
However, I do have to warn viewers that, though this movie was amazing, it is also very emotional. Early in the movie, the main character's brother is killed; later on, multiple characters are feared dead, including the protagonist's robotic companion. For those who can't handle seeing such tragedy because of events in their own lives, it might be best to avoid this.
Honestly if you want to see new mutants wait for New Mutants don't waste your time with this recycled story line which we've seen in the Hunger Games or Divergent. I'm a strong young woman destined to lead others who have also experienced hardship out the terrible apocalypse life has become. I fall in love but I don't need love because I'm focused on my greatness. Also I somehow become acceptably lighter as I age.
This is a good love story and knowing it is based off the director's parents makes it better. It has some great performances, good music and looks beautiful. The editing and use of black screens was fantastic.
A simple movie with gorgeous visuals.
It's not one which will have you on the edge of your seat throughout but the effort of 4:3 and black and white add some authenticity to it.
The fact that this is dedicated to Pawlikowski's parents, as some have mentioned, creates a new sense of magic around the film.
This is just a delight to watch. The songs are all wonderful. I've heard them all before but now that I've actually seen the movie I think they are even better. The dancing is never too over the top like other musicals. Julie Andrews is simply perfect in this role. Christopher Plummer, which is weird seeing young, is great too. The ending parts with the nazis was darker than the rest of the movie and I wish this would of been cut. I just wanted a happy musical but still this is one of the best.
Julianne Moore is very good. I liked watched her dance. The movie as a whole is ok. I thought it did end well.
Oh god, I have missed that show so much.
I rated this movie super high, almost exclusively for the ride it took me on. I agree with what many others have said about the movie, but that never stopped me from being thoroughly entertained, start to finish. Martyrs has its share of problems, but it was a hell of a fun ride!
This is fucked up and I kinda loved it. It is surprisingly funny in a I'm a terrible human being way. Matt Dillon is great.
I'm ashamed for buying a cinema ticket and I funded his next job . Disturbed mind
Up until this I had never seen a Lars von Trier film. I kinda wish I could still say that. This 2.5 jerk sesh is self indulgent to say the least. Look, if you cut out 45 minutes of It's A Wonderful Life style voice over and very, very embarrassing Bob Dylan homages, you'd have a pretty tight little fucked up movie about a serial killer with an absolutely awesome finale. Instead, we've got a guy in a red robe, commanding a boat pushed by naked people. Was stoked for this movie...that is no longer the case.

Where it failed: The co-narration, and all the disposable scenes that came with it. Blair Witch style shots just to use a different medium (I don't care if this fits one of the themes, it wasn't done well). And of course, the final 15 minutes. Fucked up the pacing, the intensity, the story... basically took everything that was enjoyable about the movie, and removed it for the ending. Thanks a lot. My first and probably last Trier movie.
Without the narration scenes, and with a re-edited end, it could be a solid 90 min movie. (fanedit)

One word to describe this movie: Sublime
it's a dark, very dark movie, have a lot and lots of pain it and are you in a good mood so watch it..
that was incredibly heart breaking! another one of the foreign lenguage movies that could beat any of the 8 nominees for best picture!! and Zain was spectacular !!! in a fair world he'd be nominated for best actor easily
It amuses me how full of shit people are. How exactly is this such a quality film? Don't get me wrong, it's a fun time-waster, but how is this good but then other movies of its ilk are completely ragged on...? It does nothing unique, everything in it has been seen a hundred times before, and it's soo over-the-top. It feels like watching a video game; why didn't they just go all the way and call it Wolfenstein? It was when scarface injects himself with the secret serum and goes Super Saiyan that I realized I was watching a Resident Evil movie. It's a fun, ridiculous B-Movie for sure, but let's not hold it up as great cinema...
I really liked this movie great action, I got into this movie so much that I wanted to see more of the war story. Wyatt Russell stole the movie he did a great job I definitely recommend watching this one, great action.
What a crazy-@ss movie. When it was done, I was wondering what I just watched!?!
Hell Fest kept my attention throughout. It was a little intense even if the murders kind of sucked. As a fan of Scream, I knew anyone who said they’d be right back was goner. So that was predictable.
Despite being a generic slasher film it was quite fun. Due to a likeable cast, nice creepy musical score and cool atmosphere for a Horror movie.
The killer just has no motive or backstory. Goes after anyone and their friends who says he isn’t very scary.
I had fun watching this beautifully shot but by the numbers slasher flick! You almost exactly know what is gonna happen, except for the final scene which was kinda creepy but brilliant! We have cardboard characters, a creepy mask, brutal deaths, well 2 of them anyway, a standard soundtrack and Tony Todd in a cameo!
The story is simple, group of friends going to a horror festival with those living haunted houses and among the crowd, a killer is busy doing his job. A very cool concept with a lot of potential which wasn't fully utilized in my eyes. But it is awesome to look at and entertaining and if somehow it is shown somewhere and I pass by, I would watch it again. So yeah, thumbs up!
This flick glamorizes the drug scene.
Watch carefully.
Before watch Drugstore Cowboy and Trainspotting
Enter the Void. This is definitely one of the most original movies I've ever seen. The entire movie is like one giant trip.
You experience the world through the eyes of drug dealer who gets killed, and after he dies, you wander the Earth as his soul, watching the drama unfold between the characters whose lives were affected by this tragedy. The actinng from the main character and Paz de la Huerta were great as well as many of the supporting actors.
The cinematography was fantastic with many shots that made me think "How in the hell did they accomplish that?" Time and effort was definitely put into this movie to make it as fluid and trippy as possible. I have to of course talk about the use of colors in this movie. The director did a great job to use color as much as possible to not only contrast the situation the characters were in but to also match with the emotions being felt and the create a sort of ethereal vibe to the entire movie. Each choice the director made for color was meaningful and very welcomed on my part.
It also has one of the best opening credits of any movie ever. This is a must see.
I don't have the words to do justice to this film. Clearly you'll either love it or hate it. Definitely visually stunning & I watched it sober as a judge. I think watching this high would take away from the experience. I found it interesting that there was very little dialogue or music, and it was all very muffled anyway (I turned subtitles on in fact), yet visually it was an assault on my eyes. It reminded me of the idea that when one sense fades, another increases, like blind people who have extra acute hearing, for example.
Not an easy enjoyable experience, but well worth the effort.
That had to have been the trippiest movie ever.
It was a good movie it brought back my childhood Highly recommended
Rocko, we can't live in the past. We can be grateful for it, but life isn't permanent, and if we don't embrace what's now, we miss out on a lot of the important stuff.
Man.. some wise words from Mr. Bighead :sob:
Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling is great! It's as if it never lost touch in the humor and quirkiness of the original show which I used to watch a lot of as a kid as it aired on Nickelodeon in the summer time and even played the video game (rented from Blockbuster)! I wore my Rocko themed shirt as I watched this and giggled along. It's fun to see the characters adapt to the 21s century and advances in technology and trends. A lot of the characters and gags struck my nostalgia bone hard as I'd go "Hey, I remember that!", even the music cues that would sound as a ringtone set off from a character's phone (or O-Phone as they call it in O-Town). The way they handled Ralph (The Bigheads' child) was very well done, and I applaud the team for that. I even caught a smear frame in one point of the film. You don't really see many of these in animation these days, but I guess it depends on the style of animation, and I love that! I hope they make more Rocko in the near future!
One of the more disturbing movies i have ever seen. That scene where those guys go underground to find someone and keep running into these gay sex scenes between guys was too horrific to watch. Also that rape scene with Monica Bellucci was just too real. It looked like they planted a hidden camera and waited for an actual rape to happen, it looked that real.
The movie is filmed in the same way as Memento was filmed, we see a few minutes of the movie and than it goes back to a few minutes before that.
This is certainly not a movie for the weak minded. If you are looking for something full with entertainment and fun than keep looking. This movie is not meant for you.
I only saw this film once before, many years ago during my graphic violence stage, and I forgot a very, very important thing about it: just how disturbing and stressful it is.
The beauty of this film is not only in the cleverness of the way it is shot or in the plot; the beauty of it is that, compared to other horror films, this is not the worse thing you can watch inside the genre, but it's definitely the worst thing you'll ever see because it's realistic. You can see this happening in the real world, and something like this has probably happened more times than we care to imagine. This is not about some sort of supernatural or far-fetched element, this is about people. People doing disgusting, unforgivable, awful things to other people. Which is why this is a film you can't easily shake off. You will sit there for quite a while after it's done, trust me. That is, if you make it through the whole thing.
At once, this film stresses you out. The first sequences, of Marcus walking around a disgusting gay S&M club , will give you an instant headache. The shakiness of the camera is Gaspar Noé's way of placing you, very much against your will, in the shoes of the characters and what they're going through; the anger, the blinding rage, the stress, the impatience, the extremely bad feeling in your gut. You feel it all, and you have no choice. When the camera is still, you're forced to watch one of the most terrible, violent things being done to another human being, and if you're a woman, the experience of watching it is much worse. And when the scenes are not violent and because the plot is presented in a non-linear way, you mourn over the life that the characters had before everything happened, you mourn because they will never be the same.
This film offers no truce; you will feel awful--whether it's because you're angry, shocked, disgusted or sad--the whole time. And if you don't, my friend, you should really consider self-exploration and therapy, because there must be something wrong with you.
This film features one of the most vivid rape scenes you'll ever see. You see her going into that underpass and you just want to pull her back, you see her not running away when she encounters Le Tenia hitting a transsexual hooker and you want to yell at her and push her to run, then finally you accept her fate and you want to scream just as she's screaming, because it shouldn't have happened to her, and it shouldn't happen to anyone ever.
The polemic scene is cruel in every possible way, and the whole film is cruel in every possible way. Everything escalates incredibly fast and nothing good comes in the end. Marcus is badly hurt and will probably remain broken by -somewhat unearned- guilt and regret (what happened to Alex isn't his fault, but he could've been there to help her avoid it; that would fuck anyone up), Pierre will probably spend the rest of his life in prison and it's not even worth it because he killed the wrong guy, Alex is in a coma and if she makes it out she will never be the same, she will be more broken than any of them, and Le Tenia is left unscathed. If that's not cruel...
The bottom line is that this film definitely demands strenght to get through it. And yet, it is so well done that the effort is worth it, even if you're not happy that you saw it.
