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...
Hot Take: this is the best Jaws sequel
I will never go Mcdonalds.
This is how DC's Movies should have been made. It's action sequences are insanely awesome. Amber Heard is drop dead gorgeous like a goddess in this movie. Jason Momoa is born to play Aquaman. Perfect castings. Don't miss this amazing movie guys.
There was nothing enlightening here. I felt that the engineering from social, psychological, computational, and mathematical aspects were interesting and should have been explored more, since they essentially glossed over the misinformation campaigns running rampant on every social media platform the world over. Even if this doc would've focused on regulation, or the lack thereof, that would've been something, but they chose to not call any entities out, remain middle-of-the-road, and out of the fray. I think that this topic would've been much better served as a multi-part series that explored the various ramifications of social media, rather than 90 minutes of glossed over, big-picture fluff that didn't hit at the heart of any of the numerous implications caused by the inherent designs of social media platforms.
I will say, however, there were far better recommendations for how to combat this ever-present problem in the last few moments of the film, while the credits rolled. The director had the interviewees each list methods they utilize to prevent overexposure to the ills of social media to them and their families.
It was terrible on so many levels. Spiral is supposed to reinvent the franchise but I don't see any original idea in here. It rushes through a painfully predictable plot. Chris Rock is annoying as hell! He plays the worst detective ever, or he just can't act. The rest of the cast is weak. They don't have enough personality to make me care about. It also doesn't push the gore to its usual limits. The traps are very underwhelming and the torture sequences are too short. I don't even care if the victims will make it out alive or not. The twist is too painfully obvious, I literally saw it coming from miles away. The killer's trying to imitate Jigsaw voice is honestly laughable. He sounds so stupid and not even intimidating. It could've been enjoyable if there's no Saw thrown into the mix. This film clearly didn't meet the expectations.
Terrible.
Update to my original 2021 review with new 2022 content. Will Smith's slap was more thrilling than this movie!
Most based movie ever lmao
As much as I wanted to love this movie (and I would absolutely adore an art book, and the OST is amazing), it's a bunch of different plots mashed together and nothing is fully fleshed out.
By the end of the movie, you're left wondering if anything was really resolved and that's not a feeling I want to walk away with from an animated movie that seems to be aiming for a hopeful tone and acts like everything is better now. Amazing art, amazing singing, amazing songs, and could've probably done better as a musical. As it is, though, there were a lot of coincidences that push believability, a lot of plot points that weren't explored enough, a lot of major details that were never explained, and an open ending that doesn't really say why all the characters act like everything got solved.
I wouldn't waste my time watching it again, but if you regularly watch movies, it wouldn't hurt to see this once for the art and music.
It is a musical, not only a Cinderalla story. In it's category, you can enjoy the scenes, dances and maybe acting. But I am fed up with that SJW thing. It makes me loose the concentration on the main topic.
is it really that bad?
What? No Milla Jovovich? Wouldn't be the same.
Milla Jovovich read this shitty script and saw the cast and she was like "HELLO NO!"
Too much drama not enough smash... And whoever edited this with all the sliding frames and split screens etc ruined the viewing experience.
An enjoyable movie with a great cast; Jared Leto was amazing as Michael Morbius and I loved his dry wit so much :clap_tone1: LOVED Adria and was surprised by how much I liked Matt Smith’s performance as his was the one I was unsure of.
Also Jared Leto is :type_1_2: and that boy is definitely drinking the blue and/or red to be looking at 50 :fire:
Seems like Michael Bay got some drones for a Christmas !
Standalone, it's a "meh" movie, really awkward and artificial.
Compared to the 1971, version it's just awful.
All these American animation studios keep proposing "children" (often driven to these movies only due to the abnormal strictness of UK and US film censorships) the same stuff over an over. Yet again anthropomorphic animals, yet again the American silly moralism between good and bad, a plot which does not spark any interest, and also a lackluster animation style. For children and grownups alike, to see good animations go to Japan.
Don’t read the comments or reviews, just fuckin watch it. Not for the Evas, not for the fights or the quality of the animation, watch it for the best delirious poem around, This is not anime or entertainment whatsoever, this is pure art.
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.
Literally the best movie of 2023. It’s all. References, music, VFX, argument.
It’s a damn love letter to Super Mario Bros saga.
The best movie of 2023 so far. Referential and fan service for sure, but isn't that what you want from a Mario movie? I've been pumping this into my brain since I was 5 years old, played every single iteration of the franchise and this was an absolute love letter to the series and for the fans. Those who know, know. Those who don't need not apply.
Was very entertaining for the kids and a nostalgia gold mind for the older crowd. Was expecting to be entertained and wasn’t disappointed. Great cast and they killed. Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Charlie Day just to name some favorites.
looks to be great. but i don't like how short it is. hopefully Nintendo will bring Zelda, start fox, Metroid to the big screen
Pure unadulterated fun for Mario fans of all ages. Leave your expectations at the door and just let this nostalgic experience sweep you off your feet.
Perfect from the beginning till the end.
In the movie you'll find any character and music of the games.
Charlie day as Luigi and Jack black as bowser. Suddenly this is one of my most anticipated films of the year.
