I REALLY don't get why most people didn't like it. In my opinion it really worked quite neatly
Makes the 2017 cut looks like trash!
Funniest movie I have seen in years. There is no way Dr Strange In the Multiverse of Madness is going to do multiverse better.
Yeah, there's plot holes. But the movie is so damned funny you just don't care. When they first explained how the multiverse thing worked my reaction was "Really? Is that all?". But it just got better and better and better.
There's periods of the movie you're struggling to breathe you're laughing so hard, and others that are just slow, deep, and sad. It's heartbreaking and hilarious. Slow and a thousand miles per hour. Nothing happening and more happening than you can possibly keep track of at once.
This movie is, without a doubt, brilliant.
I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!
This is an excellent movie that has completely surpassed my expectations. It has lots of amazing action and great comedy and wonderful performances from all the actors involved. The movie reminds me of Kill Bill.
I can't understand why there's such a low rating from critics and stuff. What were they expecting??
The scenery, wardrobe, makeup, everything is so beautiful and colorful. I felt like I was watching a play, a musical, everything was amazing. Emma Watson was a great choice for Belle, Gaston was perfect, the Beast was lovely as expected (Dan Stevens is a great actor - I might think Gaston was a little bit better though) and you're there for Lumiére. He stole the show for me. Ewan McGregor proves again he's the best, most versatile actor ever.
It is exactly the same as the animation, just some changes. It was a great movie overall, I cried like a baby the whole time (favorite 'Disney Princess' tale right here).
I can't understand why people wouldn't like it.
EDIT: upon rewatch, I believe the open bar and pageantry of the premiere enabled me to put on goggles that shielded me from the trainwreck that is this film. Rian Johnson is a sorry excuse for a writer. It will probably be retconned at least 5 times in episode 9.
World Premiere Review: Vague, Spoiler-Free Edition
It was amazing. It still does nostalgic fan service, but nowhere near what Episode 7 or Rogue One felt like. It feels like its own film. It gets a little slow and repetitive in the last half of the first third of the film, but after the major show down in the middle of the film, it's non-stop action that's brilliantly paced. GO SEE IT!
Anyone else feel the movie suffered from a bit of "unfulfilled potential" in not really closing the full circle of its plot?
You know this is Cinema when the movie makes you cry over rocks.
Critique put me off watching this for a while, dumbest decision I've ever made.
This film was great, plain and simple. It's dark and full of action. The flashbacks are a nice change for introducing the origin story. And I thought they cast Superman perfectly, great actor and is practically the spitting image of Christopher Reeve.
Best adaptation of the Superman story since the originals, loved it.

I enjoyed the tragic, heartbreaking fairytale of Ben Solo.
I would have preferred to see the film follow the more interesting thread The Last Jedi was sewing, rather than throwing in all this crash bang flashy flashy Emperor stuff. But I did have fun with all this crash bang flashy flashy Emperor stuff.
EDIT: After much more thought, I'm incredibly disappointed by many aspects of this film, and it's easy to see a million missed opportunities for the conclusion of the trilogy and the saga. But I see some people love this movie, and that inspires me to view it in a charitable light. There should be more kindness and desire for understanding in film discussion.
Fantastic performances by Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson bolster a heartbreaking narrative full of dark humour by Martin McDonagh. The film sets an atmosphere which is hard to describe, but is found in some films of this year such as Wind River. The audience is filled with such a high level of dread as the events of the film could occur in real life and many characters act happy despite their lives being anything but this.
I think this is why I love films so much, people telling stories about other people and what motivates them to do the things they do.
The Matrix meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind…meets Ratatouille?
A super hero villian who succeeds with their diabolical plan to destroy the world and ironically save it at the same time. WHAT? So much love for the creativity of this movie.
I felt such a complicated array of feelings while watching this. I was wracked with guilt about my relationship with my parents. I was ashamed of times I didn’t stand up for myself growing up. I was embarrassed with her and for her and for myself. This movie is a true achievement in capturing the mood of being that age, I related to it completely to my core. I was instantly transported back 20 years and it felt so much like my experience regardless of the cultural touchstones and how new the Internet was when I was in 8th grade. It should be required viewing for every parent of a tween.
It's the best of any of the Star Wars movies for me. Hayden Christiansen may not be a great actor but literally every other actor involved is great, and Ewan MacGregor is amazing (It's also worth noting that Harrison Ford is literally the only good actor in the originals but I won't get into that now). The story for this one makes more sense than any of the originals and adds a level of politics and historical/mythological background that is completely absent from the originals. The action and effects have obviously gotten better with time and because the people involved with Star Wars have so much experience. This movie is exactly what it was meant to be the Fall of Troy combined with Julius Caesar and a little bit of Oedipus thrown in there just for fun.
Beautifully constructed and developed, epicness at the highest levels.
Looks like Power Rangers meets Transformers meets Chronicle meets Fantastic Four reboot.
Much better than I thought it would be. The Rock and Ryan Reynolds surprisingly work well together, and Gal Gadot is just divine as always. It is a fair bet that there's going to be a sequel, the ending made sure of that.
Okay its not perfect, but it put a smile on my face, and before theatres open that's the best we're gonna get. And some of the jokes were really funny.
I seem to be one of the few that actually really enjoyed it. Some people are saying that it's too vague and messy with different SFF tropes being mashed together, but for me, it gave the exact kind of vibe that I get from the 40k Universe, which is wildly popular. I don't really get the hate, but maybe it's from a wider crowd that isn't a fan of 40k. shrugs
Amazing. Stunning. Wildly imaginative. A visual and emotional journey I never expected. Seriously one of the best films I have seen in a long time. The primary cast were absolutely perfect and I’m happy Yeoh has this vehicle.
I've been a fan of Taika Waititi since Boy and What We Do in The Shadows (The 2014 movie) and I'm so glad they gave him carte blance with first Ragnarok and now Love and Thunder. For me it's a perfect match. This may not be one of the best Marvel movies, but it's so much fun. The comedy fits the characters and there's still a lot of (gorgeous) action to enjoy. The fight in the hall of the gods (gold blood) and the one against Gorr in black and white (big 300 vibes) were stunning. The drama was okay and I did enjoy Natalie Portman's redemption. I never disliked her character, but she was sent of like a boss. Christian Bale is on another level when it comes to acting. I loved every minute of him on screen. As a Ted Lasso fan I couldn't believe my eyes when the first post credit scene played. So stoked to see this actor in the MCU.
Wow.
I'm not a teenage girl, and I never have been, but somehow I felt connected. While this is a comedy, you feel the emotions Kayla are going through throughout the whole movie. The soundtrack and the pacing are done exceptionally well, leading to a truly real feel.
The dialog of this movie is done in such an amazing fashion that you really get the sense of reality while watching. I can't think of a scene in the movie that didn't feel like it could actually happen.
Highly recommend this movie.
In a word, magical. The Shape of Water is a beautiful and superbly crafted film with excellent writing, direction, art direction, cinematography, acting, and music. It's arguably del Toro's best work and easily my favorite film of 2017. This is why I go to the movies!
I kind of crazy movie. It is not about they giving us «old-fashioned apocalyptic porn» like «Birdman: The Phoenix Rises.»
«They love blood. They love action. Not this talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit» That's hilarious, because that's what the movie may look to the mainstream audience and that's exactly what they were expecting from Birdman.
Bravo!
