And once again the freshly baked, first-time captain is the American Hero saving the day and awing the world against the bad, evil Kriegsmarine, which, as we all know, only consisted of sadistic Nazis howling over radio like a delirious drunken man while engaging the enemy. Straight historic facts.
And obviously the captain has a soft spot for the coloured cook Cleveland, who tragically parishes in an attack. Except the fact that the navy didn't allow coloured people on their ships until 1948 while this cheap propaganda piece is set in 1942. Except the Kriegsmarine was known to be the least Nazified service in the German war machine.
Why the directors/writers of cheesy sh*t like this always try to rewrite history, I don't know.
Seriously, watch "Das Boot" or "The Enemy Below". Don't waste your time with this garbage.
This was a big miss as a sequel... as established early on in the movie the character of "Borat" is pretty much dead as he is part of pop culture now so he can't do the same stunts as before. To work around this issue we are instead introduced to his daughter who travels with him while Sacha is mostly going around in throw-away disguises akin to his recent "Who is America?" show (which was already plagued by similar issues). Unfortunately they did very little to help ground this in reality. Borat as a journalist had a reason to travel around and have a camera on where as in the sequel it feels quite unauthentic and often scripted. The "charm" Borat had is also mostly absent as he was mostly just in narritive driven scenes (making the Giuliani scene the "climax" AND releasing the movie with this deliberate timing only did it a big disservice imho). Did I chuckle in some scenes? Sure... but as a complete package it was just really disappointing and hollow.
What a terrible episode. There was really no point in watching this. No real action, the shots were bland and had no artistic value, and practically no political value apart from what was already known. You really might as well skip this one.
I get it, it has to be funny because of the transitions and randomness, but I don’t find this nonsense entertaining.
The definition of a movie that’s competent but devoid of anything interesting.
3.5/10
Can't remember the last time a movie made me cry this much. Such a powerful movie, with great scenes, romance, laughter, tears through sadness and joy. I can't say I've seen a lot of war movies, but this one really opened my eyes, very well directed with great actors. I can't get over how strong this movie was, oh my god my face is still puffy and I feel so emotionally drained thinking about every person who has ever gone to war, either died fighting for what they thought was right or coming back and having to deal with losing so many friends and most having to live with PTSD. Wow, what a movie.
Fantastic film, but I'm noticing a trend with Nolan's movies where you can't hear a word anyone is saying. This movie has very little dialog but so much of it is almost unintelligible. Characters are shouting lines in thick accents with loud background audio.
I also feel like the plot got muddled at some points - What's happening in this scene? Who got shot down? What side are they? Who is this person? Was it the same person as before? I don't know, almost all of the British soldiers look alike. I went with many friends who also said they had these two issues.
That being said: the cinematography is stunning. There's some truly tense scenes in this film. It's well written, the multiple storylines fit together well and it seems pretty historically accurate, as much as it can be at least. The non-dialogue audio is absolutely spot-on, you must watch this in a theater with great surround sound. Interesting choices were made regarding the constant background of music/sound and I think it works incredibly well to set the mood of each scene. Overall it's a solid film but not my favorite.
Weakest episode of the season by far.
Great cinematic, great actors, dumb and pointless plot - especially the ending.
I want 2 hours of my life back!
What Nancy did for Dustin was really sweet. Why can’t she be like this the whole time? She’s much more interesting when she’s not chasing after a boy.
The English audio is AWFUL!!! The actors sound like they are reading the script for the first time out loud in their bathrooms. The original audio should be marked as Japanese, since this was made in Japan, the Japanese voice actors are actually acting and the animation in synced to the Japanese audio rather than English.
People should give the japanese audio at least a try. They won´t regret it.
It's the manga ending fleshed out a bit, plus two-ish additional scene right at the end and some adjustments. I doesn't change the ending (aside from Armin's admission), it just highlights it more. People will be discussing this again, just like after the manga ended. Let's see where this is going.
I, for once, found the last two episodes powerful. It's as far as I'm concerned a logical conclusion. Or at least I have no idea where the story could have realistically gone otherwise. Would I have liked it to end another way? Yes, definitely! But in the end I respect a conclusive ending more than a magically appearing good feeling ending.
Just another bad movie from india. Art has died in india.
The Hunt was a really moving treatment of child sex abuse and the mass hysteria it can cause. The heavy subject matter was handled really well and Mads Mikkelsen was incredible with superb acting by everybody involved, even the children. Klara ;_; The terrible thing is, it wasn't really anybody's fault. The counselor who came in should have known better than to ask leading questions as children are highly suggestible, but other than that, nobody was really to blame for the events of the first half, everybody just wanted what was best for their children and rightly so. The way the townspeople reacted was frighteningly plausible and it's so tragic that this sort of thing can and does actually happen. Fantastic ending.
It was a nice touch having Ashley Johnson (the voice of Ellie in the games) playing her Mother.
if you get stabbed you don't pull the object out unless/until you're able to treat the wound lest you bleed the f out and someone of joel's intelligence and experience as established by the show would know that
Sometimes shows need episodes that are simply set up. I feel like this episode was part 1 to a two episode story. But the dynamic between Pascal and Bella carried me through, needed episode for the character development. It was a nice touch of realism that they explain Joel's bad hearing on the fact that he’s shot a lot of guns over the years, without ear protection.
As someone who hasn’t played the games or know much backstory, the quick jump in this episode to Kathleen interrogating the doctor about Henry threw me off. I thought I missed some scenes.
I find the show to be entertaining. But it isn’t anything groundbreaking. Some of the hype for it seems overblown because it feels like many other post apocalyptic shows/movies.
The only thing I didn't like about this episode was that Bill died, meaning we didn't get to see him interact with Ellie, which was a wonderful part of the original game.
Aside from that, this episode is near faultless. It's the most original thing the show has done so far, by taking a side character from the game and fleshing out his backstory. It's deep, it's emotional, and it's a joy to watch.
Anyone complaining about wokeness and forced LGBT content has no clue what they're talking about. Bill and Frank were always a couple, even in the game. It's just that we didn't meet Frank in the game because he was already gone. Literally the only part of any of this episode that is not faithful to the source material is the fact that Bill died before Joel and Ellie got there.
You know how adding some elements of cheese to a popular movie or song can add human charm to the end product? Well, this goes so far into kitsch territory that it basically feels like an unintentional parody of Hollywood action filmmaking. In theory that’s fine, for example I think Riki-oh is a lot of fun. However, watching RRR is essentially like watching Eurovision for 3 hours. To some people think that sounds like fun, for me it’s absolute torture. Not only is this excessively sentimental and corny, but the plastic visuals and atrocious acting also leave a lot to be desired. Sometimes it’ll strike upon a cool moment that will satisfy your inner 12 year old, but because the overall experience is so lame, I was pretty much bored from beginning to end.
3/10
A truly amazing film! Watched it twice in one day. Funny and heart-warming. Fantastic performances from the two male leads.
I don't really know why this one gets so much flak. It's pretty OK. I guess it's not very faithful to the Mario games, but how the hell are you supposed to adapt the Mario games into a movie anyway?
I'm seeing a lot of hate towards Skyler here and I just want to know: what exactly would you have done differently in her situation?
If the IRS begins a serious investigation about Ted, it wouldn't take them long to find out that the woman who cooked his books is now running a business that she bought with undeclared money. If Ted goes down, everybody else goes down with him. Skyler didn't ask to be in the situation she's in, and yet, she's the only person that is actually thinking about the consequences of Ted and Walt's actions in the long term and trying to save both their asses in the process.
That flashback was something else. This was the episode that made Gustavo a full character. I'm more invested in him now than before, whatever happens.
I.F.T. - after watching the episode, I now know what this means. LOL.
I hope this is not another bad movie with a really good trailer.
Update: The trailer suggested more action, while in reality, the movie is an epic period piece. The Northman depicts the journey of a prince and his thirst for vengeance. It leans heavily into Norse pagan rituals. Robert Eggers has done something similar in The Witch, another period piece, but more of a horror movie with pagan rituals leading to all sorts of disasters. The visual style and storytelling is quite similar and Eggers is further refining his style as a director. The Northman is definitely worth the watch!
Great cliffhanger to a great episode. Part 3 will continue in 2023 and I'm looking forward to it.
The Imitation Game was a fairly typical and good biopic, even if it did stray a lot from the reality of the events. Turing definitely wasn't the lone wolf who single-handedly cracked Enigma he's portrayed as being, and was in fact supported by thousands of people, with many playing integral roles that don't even get mentioned in the movie. Most of the dramatic conflicts in the movie are just completely made up, with the real Turing being well-liked by his colleagues, not being so in the closet, not having issues with his superiors, never being threatened with getting fired, having entirely different bookends to his relationship with his fiancee and a far less "simple" end to his life. In fact, Joan Clarke never experienced such pressure from her parents and women in Bletchley Park outnumbered men four to one, so a major part of her role was practically fiction and just "hurr, women had it so tough back then" which, while it was indeed the case, isn't something that this particular story should be representing.
Of course, this is a dramatic movie so it does make sense to have some artistic liberties taken but at this point the entire movie's "based on a true story" only so far as its plot synopsis is accurate. In adapting it to a movie, there were also a number of unconvincing contrivances and convenient coincidences to move the plot along, with your typical chance happening causing a eureka moment, as well as entirely downplaying his homosexuality, presumably to appeal to a larger (older) audience. Now, excusing all the historical inaccuracies and keeping in mind it is meant to be just a movie, it's still enjoyable. Cumberbatch is fantastic, even though Turing's personality is largely exaggerated, and the rest of the cast are good too, even if the story doesn't care about any of them. Desplat's score's great as usual and there was a surprising number of comedic moments which I wasn't expecting at all from the promotional material. There was too much repetition of aphorisms and wink wink casual mentions of things that had happened earlier in the movie which all seemed pretty forced. If you're okay with biopics completely misrepresenting their historical figures, it's a pretty good movie.
Demon slayer and this one in same day
really
this is more than can my brain takes
sooooo good finally, Can't wait for next one
but hope with better drawing tho:'"""")
Ok.. let me start by saying, this was a good idea... Really from a scientific point it was a good premises.. Keanu is Keanu.. never bad..
But from that premises.. everything.. and I mean everything goes downhill.. Alice Eve is HORRIBLE! flat like cardboard.. only playing the "pretty blond wife"... the "boss" John Ortiz typical bad boss.. bad character.. FLAT..
The plot if loaded with holes.. I mean seriously it's a gigantic mess..
I can understand him deleting the memories of Zoe in the family.. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD?!?!
The whole Minority Report Interface.. is old.. outdate and simply put.. STUPID!! it makes zero sense.. the CGI is 1990's level.. The spent all the budge on the interface.. and the "robocop" is just.. nasty..
I just wanna EAT Logan Lerman in this movies. He's STUNNING playing Charlie, STUNNING! I would never guess he was THAT GOOD of an actor. I'm amazed by everything, but mostly by him. I hope he gets nominated for an Oscar, he deserve it.
