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.
Yes it has been done before, yes the budget is clearly a bit lower than others, yes the usual hoops are jumped through but there are also a couple of interesting morale and shocking moments. Not always well judged but also a surprise to see them addressed in a popcorn movie like this.
Easy escapist entertainment with its heart in the right place.
This one has a far better plot than the original and everything else is also improved slightly. I don't get why everyone was bitching about it when it came out.
"Put that cookie down. NOW!"
That is Arnold Schwarzenegger's best line ever.
I remember loving this movie when I was a kid. Unfortunately it has not aged very well and is pretty dated now!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching it and will likely watch it again next year!
Quite possibly my favourite comedy. I have seen this more than a dozen times and yet, it simply doesn't get old.
Mmmm yessss well... I'm going to need you to watch this ok? That'd be greeeat.
I get that it's useless as an adaption of the Godzilla-franchise.
But aside from that I think this movie is amazing. The plot was well structured, , and it was surprisingly scientific for a movie of this genre.
What Kong: Skull Island may lack in substance, it makes up for with sheer excitement.
Finally, a thrilling adventure movie, like in the olden days, but with the added creative possibilities offered by modern technology. Breathtaking scenery, a straightforward plot and jaw-dropping action sequences make this new Kong iteration a thoroughly entertaining movie, with Vogt-Roberts' dynamic direction not allowing for an instant of dullness. And the colors! In an era in which each movie has to be desaturated to feel epic, Kong really felt as a breath of fresh air.
The movie isn't without its faults though, mainly regarding some underdeveloped characters that are clearly cannon fodder, a bit of over-reliance on the tone contrast between comedic and tragic and some rapidly switching character motivations. It could really have used 15 minutes more.
These faults are, however, dwarfed by the pure experience. An incredible visual treat with no shortage of excitement. Solid 7.5.
Honestly after all the fuss, all the hype, all the money spent to finish this...we’ve essentially got basically the exact same movie.
Sure this fixes some of the issues with the theatrical version, removing the kinda pointless Russian family scenes for example. However instead it replaces them with other unnecessary scenes, like the Flash saving a woman who I think is supposed to be Iris West not that she ever says her name or does this have any bearing on the rest of the movie. Sprinkle in a little bit of Darkside where he wasn’t before and pad out with long slow mo sequences motion and establishment shots.
I’m not saying this is terrible, it’s not, just most of what works is already present in the theatrical cut, its just stretched out. I thought the theatrical was fine a 6/10 with some issues...this cut is the same a 6/10 improves on some aspects but is just a bit too long and replaces the old issues with slightly different ones.
Between these two different versions is a good 7/10 2 and a half to 3 hour movie somewhere.
To what purpose for the storyline was the part with Millie Bobby Brown in this movie? Completely pointless.
Nice historical movie, a bit slow sometimes, but totally enjoyable. Saoirse Ronan made a great work with her performance; Margot Robbie has been wonderful as always.
Black people playing the role of british lords and asian actresses as court ladies are the big mistake of the movie. The politically correct counts more than historical facts.
An honorable mention goes to the customs, which got the nomination for Oscar 2019.
Very cheaply made. Terrible acting and story. As usual, trailer is better than the movie.
I will never go Mcdonalds.
Terrible.
Update to my original 2021 review with new 2022 content. Will Smith's slap was more thrilling than this movie!
Honestly, what the hell is this?
I was smiling the entire movie. The level of detail and care that went into this film is incredible. Tributes from the first game to the last mario game. Yes, it's a children's movie, yes, the screenplay is not a masterpiece and yes, you will like it more if you are fan of the games. But it's a fun ride from start to finish.
Night is Short, Walk on Girl is a town found at the wrong stop of a strange train, where nothing is familiar and your bearings are as lost as you are. A place where you wander aimlessly, happy to be adrift and praying you won't be home anytime soon.
Based on an illustrated Japanese novel, Night is Short... is a collection of tales revolving around a young girl on a road trip through a long night that's not long enough as she meets characters who are characters and has the kind of time you'll recognise as that one special night that came together in ways you never could have planned and still feeds you memories in nights cold enough to leave you alone.
I'm not an expert of Japanese animation (the artwork here is gorgeous) but I am a connaisseur of sincerity and this film has enough to fill the strongest of nights to the brim.
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]
Astonishing performance. It’s a really good movie and worth watching if you are both a fan and a movie lover.
