Incredibly uninspired.
I haven’t seen one of these in a while, but even I noticed that a lot of its visuals and ideas are directly lifted from better comic book movies.
And it’s ugly, really ugly. Way too heavy on the generic orange/teal color palette, way too much slomo, not a single ounce of tangibility.
They should've just gone all in with making the artifice a stylistic choice, make it look like 300 or something. The hybrid of stylized CGI noise with a world that’s supposed to look at least somewhat real doesn’t work.
The movie itself will have lost any sense of relevancy within a couple of weeks. Yes, despite ‘changing the hierarcy of power in the DC Universe’, there’s not much of interest going on here.
I just feel bad for Dwayne Johnson, the man clearly has a talent that suits this type of film, but he’s stuck in a time where adrenaline driven action filmmaking is at its absolute blandest. This needed way more bite and edge in order to cover up for the basic premise. It’s such a shrug of a movie as is.
3.5/10
I'm surprised by how well this works. The cast is the best part. Everyone just plays so well off each other.
Movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Treat it like an origin story movie that sets the scene for a larger universe...
Yes, first hour is pretty slow and at times the dialogue is clunky but you can still find enjoyment out of the film.
The one that started it all..
This might be one of the worst things I've ever seen. I was going to write a whole breakdown of what didn't work and why, but then I realised that this thing isn't worth a single extra moment of my time. I'm merely here to recommend that you don't watch this.
Wow! I LOVED IT!
For once a movie about enslaved people where we don’t have to sit through torture and brutality. We all know those atrocities happened of course but the director is able to get his point across without being super in your face about it.
It had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I was all in on this journey and praying for him because I was so invested.
The director was superb the acting by Will Smith in this movie is the best of his career.
If the academy chooses to snub him, anyone who actually saw this movie (with an open mind and without bias against Smith), will know that it was just politics because this movie deserves to be nominated & probably win for Best Picture, Best Director AND Best Actor
BRAVO to Apple TV+, Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith. Great work. You deserve all the awards!
Judi Dench as Queen Victoria is great. Her perfomance is very accurate. All set design seems fabulous as well as cinematography. I did not know about this story, about Mr. Brown, but I think it is fascinating and deserved to be told. It is possible that I will not watch again this film but I enjoyed it.
I don't get the high rating. Im a fan of these types of movies but this was bad and stupid
It just wasn't funny to me.
A very cool and engaging video. I highly recommend A very cool and engaging video. I highly recommend watching
