Awkward fan service with no soul.
Yes, there's a little too much focus on the human drama and too little Godzilla. That being said, Gareth Edwards exercises a great amount of restraint in showing the titular creature fight and, well, be seen in general. This is both a complaint and a good thing, believe it or not. It builds anticipation over the two hour runtime. I do think we could've seen some more of Godzilla in the first half, though. Maybe cut back on the Ford stuff to make room for more monster. But beyond that, this nails what I was hoping it would be. The audio design here is amazing. The story is a little disjointed between what's happening with Godzilla and our protagonist Ford (a lot of the time it feels like Ford's story is written just so he'll end up where Godzilla is) but it isn't bad. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. 4/5
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
The Rise of Skywalker had been on my "to watch" list even before it came out. Because of all the negative backlash this movie received, I never decided to watch it in the theaters. Recently, this movie was leaked online and as soon as it did, I decided it was time to give it a chance - despite everything that was being said and all the spoilers I accidentally read while browsing Reddit.
After watching the movie I began to think about things they could have made better, but I did enjoy it. Whether or not if it was because it was another Star Wars film has yet to be clear for me.
In the end, I felt that these movies could have been made better than what they were, as it opened up the possibility of introducing more threats than the ones we are far too familiar with in the Star Wars universe. For example - When Palpatine was revealed to be alive he could have introduced us to more Sith for Rey to face. Which makes sense in the end, since Kylo betrayed Palpatine and the Empire.
I just don't understand how Kylo Ren was the only Sith Rey had to face this entire time.
Also, Having Rey denounce her last name that her parents gave her, despite it being from a sinister origin , made me kinda lose some respect for her in the end. If she really wanted to have the Skywalker name she could have made it : Rey Skywalker Palpatine. Or Rey Palpatine Skywalker. Any way would have been fine.
Leia's CGI was terrible right for the get-go. It immediately felt like a recording from the previous movies, which I know was planned, and I believe they could have made it more convincing with the money they had. They pushed out the movies too soon and it leaves a bitter taste, just like GOT S8.
Very realistic and intense survival of the fittest. Hardly any words are spoken and you don't need them. Good visual storytelling.
It does the Blair Witch world justice. But adds nothing fresh. Pretty much is the same result as the first film.
rollercoaster of a list, I don't know if some are great examples of white people, Birth of a Nation and some of the slashers show white people being terrible.
best comedy of the year
Unfortunately the movie did nothing to redeem my negative thoughts about Kate Winslets acting.
This movie makes me so happy. It's like a batch of warm cookies and a tall glass of oat milk.
Literally our American government. If anything, theirs is better off.
It was good enought to be entertained and not feel bored.
Movie would be a lot better without Madison story. Wish they stopped casting Millie.
Movie was ok. Not up to the hype. Typical 'hero fights fights hero then they fight together against a common enemy' type plot.
I'm embarrassed to say I watched it. I'd rather watch a episode of Corner Gas.
I'm supprised that this movie with no real story would be made with what seems to be an ok budget, based on the cgi. I'm not hopeful for the future of game movies based on this. Really suppriced they accepted such a week story. Guess they where ok with just the characters and their fights. Ohh well guess we all have different taste.
why sub-zero always leave his opponents alive? fr. and hasashi hanzo whatever attacks from back and two on one bhahahahaa...
Fuck this movie and everyone involved in it. You guys should be blackballed over this monstrosity. The constant arguing and loudly narrating everything that was happening by the actors, the ludacris plot with the little girl roaming around the house unsupervised while aliens are about and the jackass son filming it decides to go upstairs alone multiple times to do trivial things in order to put his life in danger, the fact that any rational human being would have abandoned the house when you saw with your own eyes the aliens entering upstairs, totally forgetting they should have left immediately after the first encounter but instead decided to have turkey dinner... I can't even man. This movie is so bad, that I seriously thought I was having a heart attack by the ending because I was so upset with how stupid and unrealistic the characters were written. Fuck this movie. If anyone involved in this project is still working in the industry we are in trouble as a society.
While watching I was thinking this would be better as a short and apparently it is, does have a few creepy segments. The best part was when a toilet disappeared and it made a cartoon noise.
This isn't even a movie, it's a waste of time.:poop::wastebasket:
I thought this was a great movie and just when it was coming to an end i was ready to see much more. I think the CGI here was done well here.
This movie broke into my house, hit me with its mundanity, and then left with a piece of my soul. Will bolster my defences next time and pick a better movie.
this is a happy film
James Dean was a true talent, and his acting is always superb this is a really great film that has a few plotpoints that don't circle around all the way but that's my only problem with this film because when this film is at it's best it's hard to dislike anything about it.
Great movie, like many of Elia Kazan, sometimes distressing to see. James Dean transmits his anguish
This was fun! I'm sure I watched this when I was younger but I didn't really remember it. Not too bad for a straight to video sequel.
My Little Pony: The Movie is a dream come true for fans of the television series and the brand of My Little Pony in general. As for a movie-goer, this film takes a good budget, Toon Boom, and mashes it all together to make a film that blends the positive message of friendship and the feeling of epic cinema. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity are all fleshed out in their character. They are given moments to shine, and when it's their time, they really shine. Tempest is a wonderful antagonist for the film, though I cannot say the same for the Storm King. I'm also not a huge fan of a couple choices in the soundtrack, but the songs are worthwhile all their own. In short, My Little Pony: The Movie is a worthwhile watch, and even if you are not a huge fan of the series, this is a good movie to get you started. Saddle up, everypony! This film is great.
THIS COMMENT IS REPLYING TO THE OPINION IN THE BLACK ENTERTAINMENT SECTION...You have a very skewed view of people. Why would you think the producers and writers hate black people? Are you really serious about your comments? Questioning foolish things like the lighting. You sound like someone trying to sound smart, but isn't. Does Black Panther have bad lighting also? You are the kind of person that keep black people from prospering because you just keep perpetuating the hate.
What degrading photos are on the covers of these movies? You should be glad they even made the movie. I agree that the casting for black people in the past leaves something to be desired, but that's changing. Black actors have to work also, what do you want them to do, reject a movie just to make an unknown point? You just need to lighten up, no pun intended, and try to have a better outlook on your own people.
Wasn't scary. It was a tad unsettling. Watched the wisecrack and foundflix reviews on youtube, to see if I missed the meaning or the bigger picture. Nah. It's just an elaborate cult inspired movie. I was expecting a lot after hereditary. I was disappointed.
