A great film for all the generations. So many nods, throwbacks and references for every generation of film. From old Rescue Rangers (like myself) and new ones alike. I had genuine laughs from modern day references as well as some great fun spotting older things
The plot may be a bit overused but the film knows this and doesn't take itself so seriously, which really adds to the quality
This film was great fun. My inner child and outer adult loved it.
Long live the Rescue Rangers!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was an interesting film and has an even better title. I wasn't quite sure if I was 'getting' the timelines at the beginning and felt a bit disorientated but ended up being right. Nice film, one of the better romance films I've seen but I suspect I might enjoy it more in a few years, once I'm older. Best Jim Carrey performance I've seen though.
I'm neither a girl, nor teenager or Asian and I still enjoyed it. Imagine only watching movies you identify with facepalm
The movie is way too unrealistic. No one plugs in a USB cable on the first try.
I didn't enjoy is as much as I thought I would, but 'Fargo' is still very good and something I'd obviously recommend.
I like the cast here, even if it is a bit of a Frances McDormand carryjob to be honest - she is terrific all the way through, absolutely nailing the role. Steve Buscemi is the star away from McDormand, while I've seen a few glimpses of William H. Macy elsewhere but this is his best showing that I've watched thus far. Peter Stormare is good too.
It's an entertaining story, that's for certain! Around 98 minutes was a wise run time call, also. I didn't get that extra little something from it, yet it's a film that I'd more than happily rewatch - largely thanks to McDormand, and Buscemi.
Like eating adult cereal when you're a teen and sad there isn't a prize in the box.
Finally. My first 10/10 movie of the 2022 Academy Awards. If a Disney movie wins over this, I’m rioting. Absolutely breathtaking. One of the best documentaries I have ever watched.
[Göteborg FF] The justification for the animation is based on the concealment of the protagonist's face. Amin is an "unreliable narrator", who has based his life on lies to be accepted, as homosexual and refugee. A therapeutic journey to which we are invited to share Amin's memories (and some lies). At the end, we are moved and grateful for the courage of a man who didn't want to show his face but shared his soul.
Tremendous film. If you're the type of person who gets annoyed at migrants arriving at your country in boats or over walls - you should be made to watch this film. And if you're still annoyed after watching it, chances are, you're an absolute c**t.
While it has some funny moments the rest is a confused mess
Was lucky enough to snag tickets to this at London Film Festival. It’s been over a month now since I saw it and the scene featuring Everlasting Love has been living in my head rent free ever since. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone that can’t relate to the family in some way. Best ensemble and picture? Here’s hoping because the cast worked seamlessly together and their bond on and off screen is evident
(and Jamie along with the rest of the cast sat and watched it with us.. again.. literally my biggest achievements and flexes in life are being able to watch the film with him a few rows away and on the screen idc idc)
Here is what happened: the writers got so confused by their own story, that they left and got replaced by an apprentice (who actually was just the pizza guy), and he finished the script, leaving everyone so clueless that they called it a day and Netflix released the movie accidentally, because they forgot to delete the file in their trash bin. I'm pretty sure this explains everything!
The Power of the Dog lies in the sun for hours, and the jumps up and bites you in the face!
Story: 8...subtle, maybe too much so
Script: 8...words good
Performances: 6...I know he's getting great reviews but Cumberbatch was so acty-acty sometimes that it was humorous
Misc.: 8...holy shit the score and camerwork are amazing. Pace is excruciating
Influence: 6...it's artistic alright, but doesn't have much that lands a lasting punch
Overall: 7
Jane Campion makes me guess what’s happening the whole time - I don’t like it that much, but I respect it. This may not be my best picture of 2021, but if it receives the honor, I respect it, because the cinematography, the acting, the art direction is solid here.
Like an NFT of a classic musical: it was technically well-made and looked really good but I got no emotion from it.
A very enjoyable thriller. I wouldn't call it Horror, but you'll notice yourself inching closer to the edge of your seat as the tension is ratcheted up. There's plenty of suspense and you'll be pulling for Chris and Rod.
This is not gory and there's only one jump scare that I can recall. Again, the key to this film's success is the way it builds. There's finally a release of that suspense near the end, but it doesn't go down the way you think it will.
There's definitely strong themes of race and they're adeptly handled and thoughtfully presented. When Chris mingles at the lawn party, it's eye-opening.
Breathtakingly beautiful film. The first three quarters have familiar beats but they never get tiring leading to a pinnacle of a last quarter that absolutely broke me. Ends in a picture perfect “happily ever after”, which, for critics, could have been a gripe. But I don’t know who deserves the “happily ever after” more than these characters.
Please watch this beautiful film. If you have anything bad to say about it after, you’ll have to get by me first.
It's the best of any of the Star Wars movies for me. Hayden Christiansen may not be a great actor but literally every other actor involved is great, and Ewan MacGregor is amazing (It's also worth noting that Harrison Ford is literally the only good actor in the originals but I won't get into that now). The story for this one makes more sense than any of the originals and adds a level of politics and historical/mythological background that is completely absent from the originals. The action and effects have obviously gotten better with time and because the people involved with Star Wars have so much experience. This movie is exactly what it was meant to be the Fall of Troy combined with Julius Caesar and a little bit of Oedipus thrown in there just for fun.
Is the best of the 3 and the saber duels are great but everything else just stinks I'm afraid(the music is always top notch)
Such a wonderful story and art!
Just in case you need to know before watching: Does any animal die in this film? Answer: No
Not sure what I just watched, but it was definitely an experience.
The animation was wildly creative yet bizarre. The plots, well....come to your own conclusions. Mildly depressing, comical, and thought provoking. Seems that there is supposed to be some deeper meaning or allegory but I didn't get it.
All in all, worth a watch if you like something different.
This is like a stop-motion version of Black Mirror, but it's about home instead of technology. Widely creative. I loved it.
I like it more than the average Joe, but yeah it isn't that great. The pod racing scene was cool though
The definition of a meh film, at least for me.
'Hercules' doesn't stick a connection, I felt very unfulfilled throughout. I have little negatives, yet there isn't much the other way either. I like the cast, but that's honestly about it.
James Woods, Danny DeVito and Rip Torn all give noteworthy performances in the roles of Hades, Phil and Zeus. However, Tate Donovan as the titular character is forgettable, as is Roger Bart's voice when Hercules sings.
Bart isn't helped by the very average music, none of which is memorable to me. The plot is mild, one that is quite easy to predict and doesn't produce any thrilling moments. The animation is actually OK, satisfactory for sure.
I can see this is very well rated by others, which I respect. For me, though, it isn't any good.
this was a bit boring no?
Historically inaccurate? Totally yes; but despite that fact this movie is really good from the animation to the music. A must watch for everybody.
I have seen this film many many times, last night on my hd tv in blu ray, and looked absolutely amazing, this is a masterpiece, this is cinema's mona lisa, absolutely spellbound watching it, gets better with every viewing
Even my 6-year-old son watches it in complete silence.. There are no words to describe it.
It could be a very good movie. But it isn't. In the end you understand how powerful this movie could be and how poor it was made. Even The Human Centipede is better than this. Maybe it will serve as inspiration to others make a good movie.
Incredible. A current twist on Broadway and on the Founding Fathers. Even if you've never thought you would love the theater, this is the one. Putting it into a film, releasing it for the Fourth of July, Disney just did something amazing for American Art. Bravo Zulu.
