Racist and not funny. His previous shows are great but this is just too much racism
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.
Characters that didn't have any logic. Annoying rebellious acts for no apparent reasons. "Wise" elder characters who bicker and are useless. Story line was inexcusably weak, character development was pathetic, and it was altogether a bad show. Original Airbender was good, this was not. Teen drama crap.
This movie, right off the bat, makes some smart creative decisions: it doesn’t try to imitate the original too much, and it’s not a musical.
They even steer away from the usual Disney formula by taking away the funny sidekick.
And while the film is technically quite impressive (cinematography and score are top notch), I found it to be ultimately unengaging.
Also, there seems to be a correlation between big, feminist action movies and poor lead performances.
I mean, just do the math: Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, and now Mulan.
Yes, I also find it important that more of these movies get made (not corporate, tame Disney films, but female driven action movies in general), but they deserve to be a lot better than this.
Problem is, if nobody sees it, chances are execs will take the wrong lesson from it, and think people don’t want to see female/Asian representation, or feminist themes.
So, we’re kinda fucked regardless, but I still don’t find that an excuse to give a heavy push to this mediocre movie, as I see some journalists doing.
5/10
Wow, what happened here?
A Mulan remake had so much potential but it seems like they really phoned this one in. I'm totally cool with them going in a new direction compared to the first one as do the other live action remakes (except for the butchering of Mulan's backstory and turning her into a generic chosen-one), but there are many aspects that make this not a great film on its own.
Not only does the film have no personality or engaging qualities, but the directing and editing are just kind of bad. It's clear this is a high budget film based on the set pieces and costumes, but the cuts are choppy, with weird camera angle decisions and times of poor framing. The pacing is also weird- it's a two hour movie that has a long ramp up with quick climax and ending. This leaves the audience little chance to get attached to the characters. The writing and acting also leave much to be desired- often times empty, awkward, emotionless, and full of plot holes.
If this didn't have the Mulan and Disney brand behind it, it'd instantly be forgotten. This could have been so much better.
the only good goblin is dead goblin
It was a great story! The very first episode will definitely catch your interest. After the first few episodes it became a little slow though.
Not much content was there so 12 episodes show was fine.
Looking forward to the movie now.
The last 15 minutes are rushed and spoil the integrity of the entire movie, especially that unecessary ‘courtesy tap’ quote at the movies final scene. Good not great.
Am I the only one that thinks this movie f'ing sucks balls. Didn't like this at all
It was so bad. I dont know why it had such good reviews. There was no sherlock element in the whole movie. Waste of time really.
I think I would have been perfectly satisfied with a Henry Cavill Sherlock Holmes film
The few seconds of return to childhood at the end was not worth the hour plus of bratty, violent, hypersexualized preteens you had to sit through to get there. Realistic depiction of some girls? Sure. I remember girls like that. But meaningful writing or filming to leave you feeling educated or wanting to act in some positive way to make a difference? Nope. You just can’t figure out why anyone let their kids do this film or how anyone could film it and not question why half the (very creepy) shots were necessary. I kept hoping it would redeem itself and the online outrage people had without seeing it was dramatic, but I’m going to have to say it was pretty spot on, unfortunately.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mike Matei and especially James Rolfe for making such great web series. This in particular is one of the best. It introduced me to both my love of reviews and my passion for retro gaming and media in general. Thank you, James and Mike.
best web series about nostalgic gaming ever! :P
Barely scratches the surface of documenting what 4chan and its users are really like. However it wasn't completely out of touch and boomer'ish so I will give it a pass, somewhat.
The Invisible Man is a car in a skid: it has suspense that just goes around in circles until it all falls apart predictably at the end.
Basically, this is a remake of every 80s movie where someone in control (stepfather, building superintendent, roommate) abuses the victim for 90% of the film until the 'surprise' ending that we saw coming so early it shouldn't be called the ending.
Too bad, really, because Elisabeth Moss gives it her all (and she's got so much to give) and the moments of suspense were well constructed.
The story and art style definitely seem cool and interesting, but the long, dull, uninspired battle scenes drag on too much, and the sound effects just don’t make sense. Swords whooshing sound like transformers, and it’s all so exagerated, it’s off-putting. Don’t waste your time, this show isn’t worth it.
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.
Hated it.
As simple as that.
Terrible way to take the series to. I mean it's not as bad as the prequels, because the acting is quite all right, but it hits so many bullshit moments where I was facepalming every other scene it's unbelievable.
Really poorly written. Can't believe there were so many predictable moments and moments filled with complete and utter pathos. So, so dissappointed.
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.
The kind of film that will make you think twice before beeping your horn at somebody. This is a crazy hell ride of a movie, and sadly, quite believable. Crowe is suitably unhinged, and his chilling menace makes the film worthwhile.
Was a good movie.
Big shame the f’ed it up with disgusting racist insinuations against Trump.
An edited ‘clip’ at the end to make it look like he supported despicable people. But not showing the whole video, that would show that they are lying.
They didn’t mention that the whole KKK misery was from Democrats.
Why not?
It was the Democrats who instigated all the racism, and still do today.
This movie is utter crap
A good sequel to the original. Not as good, but definitely enjoyable. The story is very interesting. This film is even gorier than the original. There were a lot of annoying characters however, that's my main complaint. But other than that, a great horror film.
Rewatched again the other day and this still holds up, the origin of so many popular culture jokes and references, this SNL bunch really shine. Car pool Karaoke, Youtubers, That's what she said...all owe a nod to Myers and Carvey.
"I'm gonna be frank."
"Okay. Can I still be Garth?"
Refreshing view with an alternative to the Allies propaganda of WWII. Enter this documentary with an open mind and forget what the "History" books have led you to believe. Making your own decisions with further research will change your whole point if view. Also note, The Language is labeled wrong this is in English. At least my version is.
I pushed back watching this for a while now. I did not want to go through what I went through when I watched Clannad. Yet here I am... feeling so down after watching this amazing piece of art. It makes me wonder what kind of life I'm living, and why I feel so empty after watching Anime such as this one.
Friendship is an amazing thing, but not everyone gets to experience it... Anxiety, depression, social awkwardness, etc. This Anime really puts that into perspective, among many other things.
My final thoughts: If you have not watched this yet, or you are trying to decide whether you should, please know that this Anime is an emotional roller coaster, and you will likely cry or feel very depressed after watching this. I pushed back watching this because I did not want to cry, but I watched it tonight and have no regrets. Watch this masterpiece when you are ready, and don't force yourself into it. I'm glad I waited.
