I would be fine if the show was just dumb but it is boring too. The plot is full of holes. The characters are shallow or unlikable. There are like 10 plotlines that go nowhere and the conclusion is not worth the wasted time. There are a few fun moments (intentionally and unintentionally) but most of the time you gonna just wait for things to happen.
It's visually stunning and I like seeing the old characters on the screen again but I recommend watching TNG instead. It's much more fun.
With reviews like “anti-entertaining”, I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised! Granted it isn’t anything new but it’s run-of-the-mill fare done well. Supremely watchable. Ties into the larger DCEU including Peacemaker in believable fashion. The only part I was sad about was the death of a very interesting character so soon after their introduction. Hope they are brought back in some form later.
I forgot the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles goes full John Hughes and ended up blubbering like a baby.
I hope everyone that wanted a second season is happy with this shitfest they got. Dropped at 2x07.
My biggest complaint is that it's hamfisted, but so what? An action movie embracing its best parts and just rolling with the punches instead of being needlessly long trying to explain some of these transitions and motivations? Sign me up for more of that. Black Adam embraces what it is and just dives in head first. It's heavy handed and over the top, and that's hardly a glaring flaw in a super hero movie compared to all of the other things people traditionally get wrong.
It doesn't sacrifice its strengths to satisfy critics, but I think those critics forget why we go to the movies in the first place. The fact that WW1984 is well received and this is not shows the hot mess of priorities these people place on films. This cast was great. The action was fun. The story was straight forward and not bogged down. It was fun.
Let me repeat that, it was fun. And I want more of that.
Does anybody understand anything this season?
This is an amazing movie! It tells a whole new angle of the WWII history . A view worth :nerd:
This is actually a good movie. It´s not a hollow, CGI´d to death blockbuster with tons of explosions and little content. Although the story is not something new it is worth considering.
Brutal, rough, great.
Here it is, another proof of how Tom Hardy is one of the best actors of his generation. In Bronson he is absolutely magnificent! This film is Tom Hardy. Without his amazing performance this film wouldn't have been so good as it is.
What is more amazing about the story of this film is that is actually a true story. The story of a man born by the name of Michael Peterson, that later chooses to be entitled as Charles Bronson. He is considered one of the most violent English prisoners ever.
In the film we can see two different types of man. The man who has a more soft side, the guy that can deceive you showing what apparently seems to be a calm man even behind his robust and muscular figure. And the violent and angry man that is able to transform himself into a lunatic. Tom Hardy was able to portray this two sides in such an excellent way! We can totally feel through him the character's anger but also the character's emotional side just by the look of his eyes. See a vulnerable side of such a tough man was what I think it was more interesting in the film, I liked that.
Doing a film about a man who constantly beats up prison guards with no apparent reason might be very difficult because we definitely can't understand why he grew up with such anger inside of him, of course we can take our own conclusions and after all there's a lot of violent people in the world with no reason for it, but there is no big resolution for this story actually if you research about the real Charles Bronson he continues to be in prison, so my main complaint about the film might be the repetition of some scenes. Scenes that you already know how will end but that will not prevent you to be entertained all over the way and with Tom Hardy's fantastic performance it is completely impossible not to like what you are watching!
Nicolas Winding Refn is definitely a very stylish director that likes interesting and bizarre stories. Bronson is a "one man show" film with a very strong direction.
