I'm disappointed. The movie looks and sounds beautiful - the costumes and the world both are very intricate. I enjoy the language that is used, how the dialogues are written and I especially love the concept of the movie. It's not something new, plenty of books cover basically the same idea of a "clean" human, who grew up without societies influence, discovering the world. Nontheless, I was intrigued. Sadly since Bella is a woman, clearly the only way for her to explore the world is through having sex with men, because how else. And that could have been fine, talking about sex and sexuality is important, but this movie just uses it as a way to make jokes and show her tits. It is shown as something great and liberating, even when grown man assault her as a child or when she works at a brothel. Besides this weird portrayal of sex, there is not much substance. A few buzz words are thrown around like socialism, worker unions etc., but the writers were happy with just mentioning this stuff. Even when talking about prostitution, the commentary is restricted to "what if the prostitues would choose who they have sex with" - what a great, elaborate thought. This shows just how little though went into the writing. Overall there is nothing worthwhile to be found here - at best you will get an ignorant commentary about topics they clearly have never engaged with.
If you're looking for a cure for horniness then you've found it with this stunningly boring nonsense. Not even Emma Stone can save it.
V/H/S 85 was surprisingly good, because the last 3 movies were really meh. There were barely any horror or mystery element in those last 3 movies.
However, 85 has redeemed itself and looks like we might get more V/H/S because this one have really been good.
There are 6 stories, the 6th story is presented as interlude between every 2 stories and finally concludes itself as the 6th and final story. Also there are stories that are related or like a sequel. For example. story 1 and 3 are related.
I won't extend further as I might spoil the stories. But, I would say that this movie will bring back lost fans of this franchise as well as create new fans.
Trust me. Movie is littery Crappy
Yep, it's a return to form. And yes, it's way better than Viral. Scary, gross, creative, and overall enjoyable. I hope this fully brings this series back from the dead and we see more of these movies.
Very enjoyable and consistent horror anthology embracing 90s aesthetic. It features great four stories with fun premises and decent amount of creative spins. The wraparound story still sucks but it still loads of fun as a whole. Overall a solid addition to the series and undoubtedly the best installment yet! My ranking from least to most favorite segments:
Holy Hell, wraparound story (dir. Jennifer Reeder)
• The weakest of the segments. Thankfully it has the shortest runtime.
Terror (dir. Ryan Prows)
• A bit slow but it has the funniest ending.
Storm Drain (dir. Chloe Okuno)
• Creepy and funny! I thought that man was Nic Cage for a sec.
The Subject (dir. Timo Tjahjanto)
• A rollercoaster ride indeed!
The Empty Wake (dir. Simon Barrett)
• Effective and genuinely creepy!
2h and 40 mins is waayyy too long for this kind of movie. It's like watching gras grow - you know it does but you can't see it. Every scene is streched out to the max. You could have cut an hour out of the movie and not miss anything of the plot. I am not opposed to long running movies but they should have content.
I read everywhere this has a great ending but I can' t tell. I was so bored after an hour that I couldn't bring myself to sit in front of the TV for another one and a half.
Dragged Across Concrete - That is exactly how I felt
I was a bit disappointed that it was more about the Minimalists, especially the two men who travel around the world to spread the word, rather than the actual Minimalism philosophy which I was very curious about. It's feels just feels like an introduction and now I'm teased I guess I have to do the reasearch myself if I wanna know more.
feeling empty and amazed of how good this show has been so far, and wanting more too. just perfection, whoever though Game Of Thrones was the top tv show well they thought wrong. because this one is utterly PERFECTION.
It's so rare to find such jewel. Everything about this show is perfect. Stellar cast that superbly does the job. Not one bad apple among them. Script, dialog and narrative are finely tuned machines that deliver the exact amount of excitement needed. After watching only one episode I recommend this show to everyone because I know that it will deliver excellence throughout the entire season.
Average at best, maybe netflix should’ve let a Japanese director handle this one, it might’ve turned out more authentic. There are tons of great Japanese made Yakuza movies, Sonatine, Hanabi, Battles Without Honor and Humanity, etc... do yourself a favor and watch one of those instead.
Richard Langly channels Max Headroom in the X-Files version of brain uploading which, of course, includes a healthy dose of shadowy conspiracy groups. Not bad, but not really original at this point, either. And on the practical side, Mulder and Scully take down two separate bad guys and in both cases fail to completely incapacitate the guys, and in both cases those guys cause them more trouble as a result. You'd sorta think that they'd have learned by now. Nevertheless, this was a significant improvement over the season premiere, with more humor and none of the clunky dialogue or excessive exposition.
A great comeback with a darker tone, much better than last season's premiere, I hope the whole season keeps up with this and less filler episodes, I BEG!!!
The whole twist with Mulder not being Scully's son father was obvious, from the moment she was abducted we knew she was being submitted to such tests and that was made clear. for me, that was clear. the twist is only on that Cancerman is the father, which is pretty disturbing considering Mulder is also his son. I wish Chris Carter would call it what it is: a rape, instead of cherry-picking words to justify Cancerman actions, but this is sadly predictable considering Carter as whole
What the hell are they doing ? 2 of these episodes are complete trash (were-monster, and clay-bandaid man???) like what you'd expect from a "supernatural" episode. And then you get scenes with Mulder high af. Wth ppl whos is writing this crap and who is actually directing it ?
Absolutely disappointed in this remake. Definitely a show they should have left well alone.
