Pffff, that was another level of fucked up. After 40 years this still has me tightening my buttocks.
David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is yet another poorly made America remake of a much better foreign film. When a disgraced journalist and a cyber-tech are hired by Henrik Vange to investigate the disappearance of his grandniece 40-years ago, they end up uncovering some disturbing family secrets. Though Fincher creates a beautiful and captivating visual style, the storytelling is poor and unfocused; lingering too long on minutia and meandering through meaningless subplots, deluding the air of mystery among all the tangents and complicated conspiracies. The acting, however, is solid; but even here Rooney Mara isn’t as good as Noomi Rapace in the original, and doesn’t have the charisma to carry the film. While The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a fairly smart dramatic thriller, it suffers from poor execution.
Sorry as a man I'm meant to believe that Glen Powell is just like every other dude on the planet.
It's lazy writing for me when you introduce a character as a nice guy but then quickly try and make him a knobhead. The humour is fine, It's pretty average when it comes to a rom-com. 4th Hemsworth was funny and the best part of this.
Definitely wasn't easy watching this when you're surrounded by women and then a hot sex scene comes up.
Reboot this as much as you want Maguire was the best Spider-Man.
Happy Life Day. Worse than you could ever imagine, The Star Wars Holiday Special lives up to its reputation. Unbearable to watch, it’s just amazing how atrocious Star Wars can be in the wrong hands.
Low ratings are from people who expected a hard sci-fi thriller, rather than a powerful drama set in space.
Good action, nice actors, ok story.
Some really intense scenes that seem like a one shot and keep going forever. Really immersive!
If you liked the first one and want nice action sequences give this one a go. It kept me entertained the whole 2 hours!
Hopefully there will be a next one...
First week of January type of bad, the kind of film that could potentially become a cult classic due to moments of unintentional camp merit (though I kinda doubt that because of how excruciatingly boring the rest of it is). The writing is some of the dumbest, convoluted nonsense I've seen in a while. The horror elements are also very tame, it's just so afraid to push any button. I get that you can't go too hard with a baby movie, but there are individual sequences in non-horror properties like Indiana Jones and Harry Potter that are more likely to scare a kid (or man child g4m3rs for that matter, I'm not entirely sure who this was made for). The technical aspects, in particular the editing, feel mostly unprofessional. Even Josh Hutcherson, who by all accounts should be the main bright spot in this movie, stands no chance with the given direction and dialogue.
1/10
The scariest part of this movie was when that woman said "Everything's better swimming in ketchup."
Very entertaining and eclectic bunch of characters, a fun line up for a very simple and fun movie. Loved that Danny DeVito was in the movie, just a fun watch.
It's an objectively well made and well acted movie that I really enjoyed. The plot is well structured, fast paced, and dialog well written.
It has the moral imperative to end sex trafficking but it's not through heavy handed guilt tripping, but through telling a true story about a man who made personal sacrifices to do the right thing and courageously go into danger to be a genuine hero. I think anyone who has any sense of altruism will leave this movie inspired to take action against this truly heinous evil that is real and happening now. Go see this movie.
Despite some moments of light suspense, this sequel fails to elicit even a modicum of the discomfort I felt while watching The Strangers. Frankly, there is so much WTF here that I really want to know what 'true events' this film is based on. Still, generous reviewer that I am, I was going to overlook all of the WTF that chokes the life from the film and mark it a 5, but then the ridiculous ending happened and forced me to deduct another point.
funny movie. =)
nice for a friday evening if u don't wanna go out.
The best part of this movie is the soundtrack, which is mostly cues recycled from Friday the 13th. I quite liked the part where the dog had a flashback to the previous movie.
I think this one's a tad overhated. It's not great, but there's way worse mid-80s slashers out there.
Sat through the first 35 minutes of this expecting to see a lot of brutal violence. What I saw was a bunch of Japanese actors who can't act, and some ridiculous "kill" scenes that had less violence than the Jurassic Park franchise. Whatever the opposite of steroids is...this was Hunger Games on that. This blew chunks.
What a movie!! War is so bad everytime bro's.
