Great take on a classic character, unexpectedly good and with the best song soundtrack in a while
World Premiere Review:
It was ok. It's not entirely interesting and it's the standard Marvel formula. However, it's lacking a critical element of a Marvel hero: a flaw. The best thing about the MCU is that there isn't a Superman equivalent...but there is now and I'm not sure I like it. I'm afraid now that Endgame concludes with believing in yourself can defeat Thanos...
Second watch: The main issue remains Captain Miscast
I feel like just about everyone will connect with this movie in some way. It's funny, sad, charming and honest. Saoirse Ronan's performance is one of the best of the year. Her chemistry with Laurie Metcalf makes the Mother/Daughter relationship really work. Lucas Hedges and Tracy Letts are both fantastic too. I think every kid in high school should watch this movie.
Edit: I saw this again and it is still my favorite of the Oscar nominations. It really has a way to make you feel like your in high school again. Makes you realize how much you parents do for you and how much I love mine.
Edit 2: I watched this again, twice in two days, this time with my parents. My dad was cracking up at every time Lady Bird was shit talking her mom while my mom didn't think it was that funny. He also said some of the dad's lines literally right before he said them. After it ended my mom said "That's it? I thought she was going to come back and write her mom a check."
For a premise as solid as this I really expected a much more fleshed out movie. The momentum of action is not sustainable throughout. Sure its a tad bit better than many other popcorn movies (6 Underground) but it does not even come close to Extraction which was also released earlier this year by Netflix.
The entire thing seems like a set-up for future movies. I don't know if I wanna watch sequels to a movie which is so pre-occupied with sequels that it fails to deliver on the movie at hand.
Charlize Theron is obviously great. She gives everything to this run of the mill expository script.
This is not a bad action flick per se but is sure as hell disappointing. Also, playing generic pop electronica at odd places throughout the movie does not help the cause.
Not to be ~that person~ but I enjoyed the book a lot more. The cast was amazing, I just think this story works better in book format.
I loved this movie and I think it's absolutely underrated! Not only is the art gorgeous and the voice-acting fantastic, it also tells an amazing story that is not just unusual, but relatable despite the unusual circumstances. I was captivated by this film and enjoyed every second of it, and while I have to acknowledge that it's not a movie for everybody (as you can see from the other comments here), I really appreciated the way the movie slowly unraveled the main character's past. For me it's a rare and for sure one of my most unexpected 10/10 ratings.
Guess who is crying right now
what a movie!!!!
how you can be so great to degree deliver those emotions like this!
i really couldn't stop myself from crying at the end and that's stayed for a while, I'm really lucky that I watched that movie and i wish that i could watch it in Cinema (i really hope it's comes to egypt)
but anyway
I'm really thankful for this epic movie

and even more,so for real this can't be describe bc it's sooooooooooooo fucking amazing

thank you for who done this movie
and thanks for that character that i won't forget ever (Kyojuro Rengoku) you are legend

Not the best film ever but pretty good for a cosy Sunday Night!
Pretty easy to watch and put you in a good mood :)
An absolutely fantastic series with a wealth of imaginative and breath taking fantasy elements not only beautifully drawn, gorgeously animated but also wonderfully written as well. Mixes fantasy and mystery together brilliantly while also understanding the variety of tropes being used and how to subvert and/or execute them effectively.
This was such a breather from all the overly Patriotic american shit that Netflix has been releasing lately, it's nice, simple and the story is attractive and interesting. Not to mention the acting is perfect! I would love to see more of this kind of shows
I like this show. I think it should make the "woke" mob think that in some ways they are no better than those they despise by being intolerant of about everything that makes them slightly uncomfortable.
