I want my own Jennifer Lawrence to pull me out of my shell and show me the ropes of life while also inadvertently becoming a close friend of mine in the process. Not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination and there were many moments that got an audible laugh out of me, it just lacks the completeness of the raunchy comedy classics it's emulating to swing for a higher score. It's still a fun time with enough heart to see you through to the finale, perfect streaming fodder when it inevitably makes its way there.
One of my most favorite movies period. I'm in lesbians with it.
It's like The Big Short but... boring. The reason being, as the previous commenter has pointed out, that the movie failed to give the viewer any reason to care about what is happening, the script and the direction failed in giving the story a personal dimension, so it feels like you're being lectured for an hour and a half.
Its a great film!

Pretentious but shallow piece of chaos. I hate movies that are artsy for the sake of being artsy. White Noise is worse than bad, it's the kind of bad that thinks it's deep and profound, it feels like provocation for provocation's sake.
I admire it for its creativity and ambition but this is one of those movies that gets off on being weird, which I really dislike. The dialogue and manner of speech was truly awful and distracting. The words play out so contrived, like they were told to perform a table read on set. Noah Baumbach watched I'm Thinking Of Ending Things and thought, "I can do that", and somehow made something even more ~~I Am Very Smart.
Bless anyone that finishes this movie. Not for me in the slightest. I feel like this is the kind of movie you've gotta be in the right mood to enjoy. I was not in the right mood.
It's funny to see bad reviews for this movie, and a lot of criticism towards JJ, but it's clear that all the choices made in this movie was to correct the choices made in The Last Jedi, the movie that was hated by all the fans till yesterday, but now people are praising.
The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie, specially for fans, it's a great way to end this saga, filled with fan service. I don't think I can say more than that without spoiling the experience for everyone.
All the critcs you see here, or on twitter, are coming from people who thinks star wars, a space opera, should be a deep and complex movie with fanfics about romances.
Just watched this in The Theatres with my two Daughters..You know it wasn’t good when before the Movie starts..They had a Short before the movie of That Old Man from “UP” and his talking Dog..It was about 6-10mins before the movie..Ya there wasn’t really much to this movies..
Like writing a middle school book report on a book you didn't read the night before it's due: uninspired and can't be bothered.
If Zootopia only had four animals and no plot, it would reassemble this simple flick that would've worked better as a short.
A fun and good animated movie. A lot of element-related jokes - that often aren't that funny. Overall really solid tho.

I just got back from a preview showing for the new Spider-man movie, and WOW. It is LIT (pardon my language). Soooooo funny with tons of personality and a surprisingly great depth of emotion in quite a few scenes (some tears may have been shed). I love this new take on the comic book hero origin movie and the entire film just screams originality. I wasn't 100% sure on the animated look before, but it really fits into the entire setting and "alternate dimensions" premise of the movie later, which injects a ton of creativity and potential into this new film.
After Sony released Venom, I thought that they should just stop trying with the Spider-verse. However, this new film and universe gives me a completely different perspective. I can't believe something like this came from Sony...
I should’ve listened to the reviews. It was a stupid, pointless, waste of time, nothing explained, some movie maker getting hard on over piece of pretentious piss of shit art movie.
Trust the negative Reviews, this is a shite movie.
You will waste 1.5 hours of your life you will not get back.
Like sex with a sexagenarian, Vivarium could've gone harder, but I got what I needed from it.
This is not your teenage horror film. It's your Conjuring, your Babadook all grown up, because it's slower and more mature. More subtle.
Fortunately, there's a spark between Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg (and that spark is Imogen Poots) that keeps the magic going after the plot (think Truman Show crossed with Twilight Zone) runs thin.
What a waste of time! this movie pretends to have a meaning, but it's only a meaningless garbage, the story goes nowhere.
was good only for 15 minutes short movie
So good :) I'm not very objective because I love all of the Aardman studio movies but it was really funny and cute, as usual ! I recommend it 100%
I won't remember a bit of this in six months. The acting is overall quite good, but the story-line is... boring? That's not quite fair. It's just uninspiring.
So they turned Muad'Dib into edward scissorhands in a desert. They dragged the story on and on with endless slow mo and flash forwards. Dissapointing, the cinematography and soundtrack was brilliant but thats all. 5/10 is generous. Ive read the books and watched all the dune tv shows and the 1984 movie and i would recommend them as a must watch before this.
I could easily give this movie top score if I just went for the feeling.
Juno is awesome in the movie! Sweet, cocky and funny. She goes her own way and dont give a shit about what everyone else think.
But after a bit of analysis, the film feels too pro-life and anti-abortion. Christians, the geek girl outside the abortion clinic say that the child has nails. It sounds like Juno doesn't care but well in there she looks at everyone's nails and changes her decision. To take an example.
When one of the largest anti-abortion groups is found among teenagers in the US, around 70% are negative, I have seen figures so it would be more interesting to see a movie that breaks the norm. But the movie is wonderfully well done, wonderful soundtrack, Ellen Page is very cute. So, thumbs up anyway.
Never have I seen a movie fumble so hard in the third act, but here we are. The first 2 acts are legitimately amazing and horrifying, but the writing and characters take a huge nosedive once the third act starts. The ending, if you can even call it that, didn't wrap up any of the plot threads introduced. What happened Jordan Peele?
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Nope’:
I kept waiting, and waiting, for this film to get good. For the moment when things kick into high gear and it earns that price of admission. For me, it never got there. It always teetered on the edge of something fun and edge-of-your-seat… but it remained uneventful despite its seemingly-momentous scenes.
The pacing was all sorts of wonky. It felt like there were a lot of disconnects here, a lot of questions. Scenes that went on too long. Unrealistic character reactions and decisions. My scalp is sore from all the head scratching. I just wish this were a more structured story with all the ideas it contained.
Great cast, but the character of OJ was incredibly bland and emotionally flat. A more compelling lead character may have risen this film above all its flaws.
Bonus Thought: What was the significance of the mysterious balancing shoe?
What's with the bad votes it didn't even come out yet-
Edit: Fair enough.
Every time i watch a Michael Moore documentary, i feel so soooo good that i don't live in America.
Underrated and an excellent Coen Brothers film..
It is agood movie, but MAN! I hated Richard Williams, he is so maddening that I just wanted him to shut up. I kind of understand why he was like that, after all he suffered a lot. The most comic part was when he told his daughters that one day they'd buy a lot of beds and wouldn't have to share beds with their sisters (and I thought, well if you hadn't had FIVE daughters living with not enough money they wouldn't have had to share beds).
This was great in all aspects, the only thing I felt was unnecessary is that they felt they needed to tie everything neatly at the end, change doesn't come without sacrifice, so I kind of feel that it would've sent a stronger message to have the protagonist sacrifice her own dream for the greater good.
Still, it was a masterful storytelling and an impeccable execution. Would recommend.
A great theatrical, emotional roller coaster, entertaining, edge of seat kind of film that you love to see about a music icon. This is not your average non fiction story line type film about a celebrity, but a plot twisting story line jumping, action packed roller coaster type movie taking the audience on a hell of a ride about Elvis. The good, bad and ugly. Whether it was too much about his manager taking advantage of him or too much about the attraction fans felt for him or the impact he had in the civil rights movement, it was all very well done as it showed how much of a positive and historical impact he made on the music industry.
Like trying to scratch your foot with your shoes on, the desire is there but the feeling is too desensitized to be effective.
Hive is the true story of a Kosovar woman whose husband goes missing during a massacre in the Kosovo war (1998-1999), and finds herself forced to pick up the pieces of her life in a society that frowns on women picking up the pieces of their lives.
While I find the story fascinating, heartbreaking and inspiring, I find the film a little too restrained because in its restraint, it short changes Fahrije and her journey.
[Note: On January 31, 2021 Hive became the first film in Sundance history to win all three main awards – the Grand Jury Prize, the Audience Award and the Directing Award – in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition, so what the fuck do I know?]
I FUCKIN LOVE THIS MOVIE AND EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE.
I'M BURSTING WITH HAPPINESS AFTER WATCHING IT!
SO FUN! SO ORIGINAL! SO AWESOME!
99% ON RT - FUCK YEAH!
BEST MODERN HIGH SCHOOL MOVIE OF THE DECADE.
"Ay Pechanga"
What a blast! I was looking forward to this when I first saw the trailer and damn I'm a sucker for cameos and easter eggs. So many references, so many fun stuff. "Aunt-man"? Bootleg-Simpsons? Ugly SONIC! Dale a "Chip 'n Dale?" Roger Rabbit!! Most of Seth Rogen's animated characters?!!? Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat! Alvin and the Chipmunks are even here! Scrooge! And even all the Disney Afternoon stars!
Anyway yeah, it was a blast. It might not satisfy everyone but I enjoyed it a lot. Enjoyed the plot, the call backs and the voice cast is good! But I agreed with Darkwing Duck at the end. When is he getting his due? We've had a Ducktales cartoon reboot and now Chip 'n Dale? Hopefully he's next in line. (I wouldn't mind something with Talespin too.) I know Darkwing made a little return in the Ducktales cartoon but I would love a Darkwing movie.
Sometimes some crimes
Go slipping through the cracks
But these two gumshoes
Are picking up the slack
Eternals really changed the whole MCU. This is a new take on a whole new mcu film without the same old formula. And I kinda like how divisive and deep, dark they went for this. There's so much complexity in each character that I know people can identify with, it's everything the other mcu films could've been. Fuck rotten tomatoes.
