Very funny and WAY better than "Shrek 3", even though the "Be Careful What You Are Wishing For"-theme is a little washed out...
Don't understand the negativity. Each and every Shrek is outstanding, including this one. Do the Roar, lol
The first Shrek film was such a critical and commercial success because of its smart writing and directing and, with the voice talents of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, two lead characters who were fully rounded, funny, and identifiable.
By keeping the core cast intact and introducing new characters in the form of Princess Fiona's parents (voiced superbly by John Cleese and Julie Andrews), the wonderful Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders), Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) and Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas), this sequel manages to stay fresh with an entertaining and endearing storyline, great characters, and animation that still looks superb a decade after it was theatrically released.
As sequels go, it may not be Toy Story 2 or The Godfather Part II, but it is a film which is both laugh out loud funny and emotionally engaging.
This is still the best.
The best one of all!
Best of the series.
Dead Man's Chest is a great second installment in Disney's Pirates saga. I never understood all the not so favorable reviews.
I went to see this with my mom and sister just before Christmas and I assumed that "Musical" meant that there would be some singing and some normal talking. Turns out it's entirely singing which took me off guard and about 30 minutes in I was beginning to regret my decision to see this movie. However, as it goes on the songs get much better, the story gets more interesting, and it really connected with me emotionally. Jackman is a solid lead actor, Crowe is simultaneously the worst singer and best actor in the movie, Hathaway's role is smaller than I thought it would be but still powerful, the entire young cast was amazing, and Bonham Carter and Baron Cohen teamed up perfectly for some much needed comic relief.
Some people like to whine about how the professional actors have "bad" voices. The reason for that is because their job is to act and the singing is just a secondary feature. Also I prefer that they aren't professional singers. Professional singers all have the same boring voice and it wouldn't really get as emotional if the actor's voices were pitch perfect as it does with these real voices.
Overall, there isn't much that it does wrong and as long as you like long movies and are able to get used to the singing, you will enjoy it.
Seriously overrated. Casting could have done a much better job finding actors/actresses that can actually sing. Based on my college roommate's obsession with the novel/musical, I can honestly say I was disappointed. I basically used it as background noise, as the plot was difficult to get into and the vocals weren't that great (although Anne Hathaway has a decent set of lungs).
Seriously dull. Really did not enjoy this!!!
Pretty impressive movie about a bunch of historical events I didn't even know about. The concept of navel battles baffles me to this day and the era in which all this occurs is rife with interesting stories and events.
The cast is stellar, the only thing that's weird to me is how clean they all speak (but I'm Belgian so that might be the reason). I agree this movie could have been better as a long series but the movie does feel extremely long despite its runtime of 2h. A series would also have the pitfalls of filler episodes.
This movie definately gets a recommendation although I'm not sure how the foreign public would enjoy the very Dutch nature of it. Try it, and you'll see.
It's boring, that's the problem. The Zone of Interest is completely uninteresting.
Scenery, wardrobe and all of that is very well done, which infuriates me because they could have done such an interesting film if they'd had shown the funcioning of Auschwitz. In that camp there were stories worth telling. Anyways, I regret having spent money in the cinema for this one.
Quite a frustrating watch. It has this great concept of showing mundane, everyday life juxtaposed with horrifying imagery and sound hanging in the background, many reviewers have referred to it as the banality of evil. It's an inventive way of doing a Holocaust movie, but there's not much else to this. Glazer spreads the concept really thin over the 105 minute runtime, and I started to check out around the halfway mark. It's lacking in structure (no character arcs or big plot developments), every time it threatens to go somewhere it turns out to be an excuse to use the same bag of tricks. The acting and stilted cinematography are both pretty decent, but because they're both meant to serve the understated tone and nothing else, it can't fall back on those aspects. Again, if the tone is enough to carry this experimental film for you, your experience might be different. However, I became increasingly numb towards the repetitive nature, eventually feeling rather indifferent towards the experience (which is the last thing I want with a movie like this).
4.5/10
There are many great things about this movie, most notably the way in which it was shot and the acting in it. However, the story is just so absolutely fucking bonkers to the point that I am so very confused as to how to feel about it.
“Spectacle, testicles, wallet and watch”
The introduction of fat bastard and mini me is great. The whole dick rocket joke is fantastic. I love all these movies. They are so stupid and so funny.
Such a classic. The most 90s movie I can think of, in the best way possible. I was grinning the whole time watching it again. Cereal is the best.
Nick Cage going a caricature of Nicolas Cage, with a cast of supporting actors making sure they tick off EVERY Sci Fi /Horror meme and stereotype including, constantly repeating that "everything will be fine" when the world is clearly going to hell in a hand basket, creepy kid staring off at and talking to "friends" than no one else can see, creepy repressed yet hormonal teenage girl, into witchcraft and spells, Tommy Chong doing Tommy Chong out in the woods, Joely Richards who it appears never attended a culinary school, Poltergeist TV screens, cell phones connecting to other worlds, and some OK, 80's era, John Carpenteresque critter mutations, and lighting SFX. Oh yeah, and a black but not TOO black narrator / hero who, in a woke twist, ISN'T one of the first to meet an untimely end, and is the sole local survivor of this bizarre interlude....
Not "horrible", but nothing you haven't seen before, prolly done much better.
Good grief is this terrible. From the ridiculous plot, to awful acting, to awful CGI. I don't even know where to start. Nothing made sense. Just terrible movie.
Just another bad movie from india. Art has died in india.
The best scene of this movie is when they rate their business cards.
Good narcissistic character, with all the traits. Worse, a psycho. Bateman is on the edge of a caricature at times, but that just adds fun and dark humour. Some of the antics are stupid. It's pretty much a one man show movie. I didnt find it that scary.
There are some parts of this movie that are incredibly stupid (i.e. "Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.")
It doesn't matter, because 90% of this movie is head and shoulders above anything else I've ever seen. Absolutely awe-inspiring. Just hearing the score is enough to give me the chills. And no matter how many times I see it, I will always cry at the scene where Coop watches the messages from his children after 23 years have gone by. I'm getting emotional just writing this.
The best film I have ever seen. It is as much a majestic piece of art as an open door to the questions of science. It will break your heart and the next second it will take you to the most beautiful places, to the limits of reality and imagination; the place they meet to become science, and maybe, the future. A must watch.
I can't believe how much hatred I feel right now after watching this movie.
The severity of this film smashes on the shoulder. Emotionally strong impact on the viewer. Great climate, the role of the main and ending. Strong study of social ostracism.
Mads Mikkelsen dancing and spinning around is one of the most beautiful cinematic moments in 2020
He's so good , great cast all around and a top notch movie
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.
The video game, Life Is Strange, took a lot of notes from this movie if you ask me. I will admit, this movie definitely calls for a quite a bit of suspension of disbelief, there's one plot hole that sorely sticks out, but despite that it was still very intriguing and entertaining, the ending even caught me by surprise (I watched the director's cut). I will have to watch this one more than once.
RRR is completely ridiculous. The CGI is exorbitant, the writing is melodramatic, and the action is outlandish. The emphatic racism alone is enough to abandon this film in the second act.
