Conceptually good, with some neat special effects that belie the low budget. However, the acting kinda sucked, and the script wasn't that hot. It felt like a pilot for a tv show at times, which while not a bad thing, certainly isn't what I expected after the rave reviews on this page.
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.
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?
The movie that propably had the most impact on my life.
I was little over 10 at the time I saw it first. My dad brought it home on VHS. From the first second my eyes were glued to the screen. Immediately after it was over I rewound the tape and watched it again which up to today, close to 35 later, I haven´t done with any other movie. I recorded it on audio tape so I could listen to it, even wrote down the whole thing on paper (that was well before the internet, folks). We re-ennacted the scenes, I had memorized every line. I cannot recall how many times I`ve seen it since then.
I would give it 11 if possible.
The movie is way too unrealistic. No one plugs in a USB cable on the first try.
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.
What's with the bad votes it didn't even come out yet-
Edit: Fair enough.
would of rated higher if it had a happier ending instead she became like her mom.
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.
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.
Like eating adult cereal when you're a teen and sad there isn't a prize in the box.
The first Pixar movie that I ever cried for, maybe it was the beautiful art, the compelling story or the fact that I was being represented on tv, no I'm not a sea monster, but if you replace all of the times that "sea monster" was said in this film and instead use "gay" you'll get what I mean. Hat's off to the writers, I could go on and on about how perfect the parallels are but I'll just have to silenzio bruno!!
But the film still flops so hard.
Only cultist Trump supporters wouldn't find this funny. Hilarious AND it has some heart.
Its a great film!
Its a great film!
Its a great film!
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.
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..
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
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?
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!
Like an NFT of a classic musical: it was technically well-made and looked really good but I got no emotion from it.
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.
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.
This movie had changed my look to everything, literally, everything.
i wouldn't classify this as science fiction as there's no definitive proof for anything occurring within the setting. not enough screen time for the poor horse considering it's a movie titled horse girl tbh.
most importantly: i would watch the tv series within this movie in a HEARTBEAT i mean its flawless procedural trash very clearly making fun of supernatural. when is netflix gonna make that??
Well, I gave it a fair try. I didn't think I'd like this story/film and I didn't. A young sexually inexperienced boy and an older grad student. For me the inequalities of experience, maturity and attraction bordered on child abuse and, although the boy was the aggressor, the adult should have maintained boundaries and trust. It was too uncomfortable for me and was anything but a love story. I know I am expressing a minority opinion (it has been nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay) but I rate it a 3 (bad) out of 10. There was nothing commendable about this movie to me with the exception of the location, which was strikingly beautiful, and the soundtrack, which was perfectly matched to the internal thoughts of the characters. [Drama]
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.
