Story: what story? It's art!
Characters: Nope. Let's focus on the walls instead.
Not scary in the slightest the only scares were jumpscares with loud music. I didn't care what happened to the two pairs of legs. If you're going to do a movie about a child's point of view put the camera on their forehead, not on the floor. The walls and ceilings got wayyy too much screen time. Painfully boring!
VHS coverage of walls and ceilings
i think i prefer more fast pace movies, but loved the under the bed scene! definitely a really uniquely designed film
This felt like a self-absorbed film school project. Getting to the end was a lesson in tedium.
I can’t believe how much this movie hates it’s audience. Truly aggressively awful and frustrating.
This movie should be called Skidmark
Only watch if you enjoy a string of fuzzy still images of walls, doors and the floor. In addition to mumbling that is rarely understanding and no plot whatsoever.
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:
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Skinamarink’:
Just, no. I went in with an open mind. But no. This was way too random for me. I need some semblance of a story, not a string-out of creepy visuals and sounds. If I hadn’t read the synopsis, I would’ve been even more lost than I already was. The toy phone scene is a perfect example of something eerie that existed for no particular reason other than to be eerie. No.
The interactions and reactions were not realistic enough. I understand this film was more of a mood than a story. More of a dream than reality. But there were too many characters talking to other characters without a proper response, if that makes sense. And no child would be wandering that house alone.
There is something here, somewhere. An original idea that may inspire future horror films. The familiar glow and hum of a TV that we wake up to from nightmares. That momentary feeling of helplessness. It was all supremely atmospheric, for sure. But there was zero payoff.
I can only give it a single star, I wish I could give it less, negative stars even.
What an absolute waste of 100 minutes, I defy the reviewers here that say it is a polarizing movie, it really isn't, not even close, there is nothing to invest in, no characters to care about, nothing, this movie would have been better served by not being made at all and the makers should be ashamed of themselves for doing so.
Look no further, the cure for insomnia is here..... :sleeping::sleeping:
I can't give a star, i don't know what i watched for 100 mins.
It's a big waste of time. If you are reading this before watching it, please don't watch it. You can thank me later.
This is so bland and inessential, they might’ve as well put it directly on Disney Plus. Why are we investing 300 million dollars in an action/adventure flick starring an 80 year old grandpa? Look I have a lot of respect for Harrison Ford, but everything that’s wrong with this movie is connected to the larger issue of him and the franchise being way past their expiration date, so this never should’ve been greenlit in the first place. Nothing is offensively bad here, but it’s more a case of wrong decisions piling onto each other.
I understand Lucasfilm’s decision to hire a director who just delivered two crowdpleasers in a row, both of which were acclaimed by normies and snobs alike. Mangold understands what makes the world and character work, but he doesn’t get the soul. Right from the opening scene, the movie looks drab, underlit and generic. There’s almost no imagination to the set pieces, and some of the more impressive stuntwork is undone by poor effects work. Take the Tuctuc chase. Ford’s stunt double puts in the work for the wide shots, but when you cut to a close-up of characters in front of a green screen, you’re not exactly selling the sequence. It’s not going to stick on my brain, it’s too unremarkable. Again, what’s the point of making an Indiana Jones movie if there’s no viscera or imagination to the action?
Then there’s the story, which is also very by the numbers and low on risk. It feels like wheel spinning, which in theory could be fine (the Bond franchise got away with that for decades) but there’s nothing to hold my interest. Some of the new mechanics introduced during the third act I found to be underwhelming, and this is coming from someone who didn’t mind the inclusion of aliens in the last film. All of the new characters are boring and underdeveloped (especially the villain), despite the actors putting in decent performances. It’s quite funny how this suffers from the same problem as Furious 7, where villains will show up on the same location as our heroes despite there being no story reason for it. Occasionally there’s a brief fun interaction, or a fun set, or a good visual idea (like the final shot, for example), but that’s not enough to fill its bloated runtime.
4/10
Yes, rating this a "1" before seeing it is a tad childish. But, given that I will never go and see this film, I feel it's fair to show my displeasure towards Disney given the direction this film seems to have taken.
Enough proof that shows this docu is absolute BS!
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.
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]
Great movie, but shouldn't Joker and Bruce be the same age.
Note that this movie removes any history of Joker's exploits as Red Hood, so treat is as non-canon to the Batman series.
Very, very realistic. Heartbreaking, but incredible.
To be honest, with these actors and these characters, I don't think it would be possible for them to make a film that's worth less than 6/10.
The original is better but I wouldn't class Double Tap as a disappointment. It's a good film in its own right, which is rare for sequels in general. Most importantly, it's damn entertaining. In a way, it's a perfect palate cleanser before Oscar-season hits us in the coming months.
It's a 7, but a damn good 7.
There are some interesting concepts here to modernize the story but most aren't fully fleshed out. There are some funny moments. Chucky's new look isn't the best but at least Mark Hamill gives a decent voice performance. We need Brian Tyree Henry in more movies, he is always great.
The monster battles are awesome. There are a ton more than the last one and I loved every second. It makes up for all the family drama they make us watch to get to those fights. Hopefully the next one will be Godzilla and Kong fighting for 90 minutes with little to no humans.
I really enjoyed watching this great film and thought it told the story about helping Johnny deal with his problems in a beautiful way.
It is most certainly not racist and I am of the opinion that anyone who says it is racist is watching the film trying to create racism because they heard it is supposed to have it. If you don't watch it expecting some sort of racial issue, you won't find one, because there isn't actually one unless you create one.
I am deeply saddened that one of my favorite rides at the Magic Kingdom park is being changed due to political pressure and I'm glad that I'll have the childhood memories of going on the ride countless times and whistling along to Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.
I had wanted to watch this for years!! Finally was able to find it and I was pleasantly surprised. Very cute film, it's a shame it's banned but I do understand the reasoning behind it. Splash Mountain makes a lot more sense now.
Terminators: Recycled was the same program run the same way after a soft reboot. Still, it was fun to see Linda Hamilton again and Mackenzie Davis is so good that I hope there's a sequel just to see her continue to be the action hero I never knew I needed.
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.
It's hard to believe that a movie with this cast based on a figure hated this deeply could somehow result in a miss, but this movie is an absolute mess. The movie struggles tremendously to pick a tone, often seesawing between parody, sarcasm, and deep drama. It comes across as a parody of itself. With a figure like Cheney it's amazing that you can mess it up.
On top of this, the film is more fiction than fact, and it actively works to create screen time of someone's fever dream rather than historical events. It is an insult to the audience.
Other than having a talented cast this film offends the senses, even for the larger of Cheney haters. A complete disaster of cinema.
Don't waste your time
This movie is without a doubt the best adaptation of King Arthur. The acting is spectacular, the visual style is stunning, the action is excellent, the themes from the source material are all there, and the costumes/sets are the best I have ever seen. I don't think anyone will ever make an adaptation that stays so true to Arthurian legend, manages to cover the entirety of the story, and still ends up so amazing.
