Impressive. Maybe a bit too much like a Shyamalan movie, but this had better delivery, which is saying a great deal, and is still very original. Its previews did not do it justice. The movie seems as if it doesn't feel obligated to shock or impress you, but rather draw you in to the story, invest you in the characters, then turn on the afterburners. With an epic final few seconds. In other words, a smart, emotional, well-done movie that ranks as one of the best, in at least the past few years.
It starts with slow pace but it's getting better and better.Plot is really special and the idea well excetuted.I loved Blunt's perfomance she was just for this role.
I would expect a better final scene but overall i am very satisfied with the result and i suggest to see this tense thriller.7.7/10 from me hope you enjoy your watch! :)
Don’t watch this in theaters if there’s a chance of your friends saying a word.
People hollering about how bad this show is, how silly it is, how the "plot" does not make any "sense" anymore... seriously? When has it ever??? I am still enjoying this ride and will for as long as it will last, given there have been episodes that were just plain awful - except for the music - but hey that's natural, super natural...
SCOOBY DOO PAPÁ! [Supernatural remix]
My childhood and my adolescence together in an episode - it was amazing!
A refreshing change from mediocre CW-style superhero series. The plot has an arc, and doesn't come off like writers are winging it each week -- some actual thought went into a story. And it's done without the emphasis on flashbacks to create a backstory. Quirky... unique... engaging... worlds better than the cookie-cutter Marvel franchise.
BRAVO! I'm quoting Dean here, "That was the coolest thing that's ever happened to me". ScoobyNatural just made my top 10. Probably 5. My childhood and my adolescence together in an episode. It was like a dream come true. It was everything that I needed and then some.
I get that many people might dislike the episode or might think that Supernatural has jumped the shark, but remember, "it's not jumping the shark if you never come back down". Now seriously, this episode was a kid's dream, especially if you grew up watching Scooby-Doo, like I did.
My love for Supernatural in unmeasurable and as a kid, I would've given everything to be able to get into a Scooby Doo episode and solve mysteries with the gang.
For those good 42 minutes (which felt like 5) I felt like a kid again. Thank you for that! Simply FANTASTIC.
My belly hurts from laughing. I had high hopes but it surpassed all my expectations. It's been a looong time since I laughed that much at a Supernatural episode.
And they said Infinity War was the most ambitious crossover, lol.
I laughed my ass off from start to finish. That first scene. A killer plush green dinosaur? Lol. It reminded me of my all time favorite suicidal teddy bear. By the way, I'd gladly read the "Killer Stuffed Dinosaur in Love".
It had everything: fight with a giant stuffed dinosaur, Frozen reference, the Fortress of Dean-itude, Dean fanboying over the Scooby gang, his hatred for Fred and crush on Daphne, Dean's Scooby snacks, that drag race, Dean in a nightgown which feelt like being wrapped in hugs (wtf?), Velma's massive crush on Sam, Sam getting sick of Dean's bullshit even animated, that Scooby Dooby Doo, Where Are You? song, all things Cas (his trenchcoat parachute), Dean's F bomb, that nervous breakdown, Velma kissing Sam, Dean with an ascot, and that final Scooby-Doo. Lol. I almost chocked at the end.
That beginning was so unexpected. This is the first episode that didn't start with the "Then" and "Now" segments, if memory serves, which was weird. But amazing, nonetheless.
The callbacks to season 5 were also great. When they mentioned the Trickster I burst out laughing.
Dean: "Or maybe thid is an angel thing. Or the Trickster"
Sam: "No, he's dead"
Dean: "Or is he?"
I lost it. Man, that exchange was so much fun.
"Look how big my mouth is!" echoing that "I'm gonna need a bigger mouth" back in Changing Channels.
Dean: "Now, how do I look?"
Sam: "Two-dimensional".
Dean: "Perfect". Dead. I'm dead.
Sam: "Play? There are no words in this newspaper, Dean". With that music. I lost it again.
"Jinkies! Jeepers! Zoinks! Ruh-roh! Son of a bitch!" God, I loved everyone's catchphrases so much. The gang was so pure and innocent. Sam getting angry over their reaction to the dead bodies. "Are you kidding me, Fred? Dude, someone's dead. A little respect", along with "So do they always just walk away from dead bodies?" had me in stitches.
Cas' introduction to Scooby was fantastic. "Sam, Dean. This dog is talking". Well, he withhold a long conversation with a cat. He shouldn't have been that surprised. Besides, I assumed he knew about Scooby-Doo since Metatron gave him knowledge of cinema and literature. And now he's a fan of Scooby-Doo.
"I don't know. I mean, Cas is kind of like a talking dog", lol, Dean.
Dean dropping that F bomb and getting beeped consequently was unexpectedly funny. "F*** right you can!" That had to be ad-libbed by Jensen.
Of course Dean would hit on Daphne and I've gotta say that I enjoyed it. The same goes for Sam and Velma. That kiss, though.
Sam: "We've saved the world" dramatic pause "A lot".
That gang's nervous breakdown after discovering ghosts were real was awesome. Fred's reaction was the best and those sound effects, lol. "We've been stopping real estate developers when we could've been hunting Dracula. Are you kidding me?! My life is meaningless!" and Daphne's internal crisis "Am I going to hell?!" as well as "Should I make another trap? I could get the shotgun. I could get two shotguns!". I couldn't stop laughing.
"Did you send it back to the fiery pit from whence it came?! Kill it with fire!" I thought I was about to die of laughing. "The Scooby gang does not have nervous breakdowns!" I'm still laughing now.
That ending was the cherry on the top.
Bad guy: "I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids".
Dean: gasps "He said it! He said the line!" stares right into the camera Scooby Dooby Doo"
Sam: "What are you doing?"
Dean: "Well, I mean at the end of every mystery, Scooby looks into the camera and he says"
Cas: "Dean, you're not a talking dog" *then proceeds to leave the scene".
Pure gold!
Supernatural is on a whole other level. Hands down to the writers for giving me 42 minutes of pure joy and going on with a crazy idea such as this one. It is this kind of episodes that are branded as "amazing" or "pure garbage". I do think this one was amazing. It was a dream come true. And I felt like a kid watching it.
I can totally understand if people dislike this episode.
It kind of is over the top. Too different to what people might want from a new episode of Supernatural.
But at the same time it tries something new, it's daring, it's simply fun and doesn't take itself very serious in the process.
Yet it was fitting to use Scooby-Doo, as Dean said, they do what Sam and Dean do (basically).
Personally, I watched Scooby-Doo when I was a kid, not regularly but every so often, so this does get a nostalgia bonus.
I can also remember the parody episode in South Park with KoRn and that one was brilliant, too.
Could they have done more with this? Sure. But I enjoyed this episode very much as is already.
Crossovers like this are a breather in between. Breaking out of the usual habit.
Some may not like this particular crossover but having crossovers in general mean it's possible that the next one might suit those people better.
dad's on a hunting trip.................................................... and he hasn't been home in a few days....................................................
Can’t wait for this one! This is why Supernatural has been going on for so long. They always find new ways to reinvent the show.
Only Supernatural would bring back a character after 12 seasons/years just to kill her mid episode.
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!
Great soundtrack, and as alejandro_mhr says, it doesn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed every moment of it. It was just the senseless action-filled movie I was looking for.
The performance of Dan Stevens noted itself for me, and I'll be watching him further! Great acting, great pushing of limits.
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.
Wow. What a fantastically overlooked piece of cinema. It had me on the edge for about 3/4 of the movie. Way way better than the shallows including the acting. This was short of Jaws but better than most other shark films.
Just when you think you know what is going on, there goes the rug....
Twin Peaks is indisputably one o the greatest shows ever, however you have to watch it at the right time and recognize a few things.
First off, if you get to the end of the 3rd episode and you still don't like it, then it may not be your type of a show. That third episode is really the point where you find out if you'll like the rest or not.
Secondly, if you watch it and don't like it, then wait a couple years then come back. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it if I watched it a few years ago.
Thirdly there is a noticeable drop in quality about halfway through the second season. Hammer your way through these episodes, do not skip them. I know they are painful to watch but the payoff is worth it. The show eventually does get itself back on track just in time for the final episode to be the greatest episode of any television show ever.
I recommend this show to everyone but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. Give it a shot though, it's really fucking good
Clearly one of the best Doctor Who episodes so far!
Capaldi is a great actor and I'll always remember his performance as the Doctor.
It was outstanding.
This was the best acting in a while by Capaldi! A masterpiece. I bow to Moffat. Still sad about how Clara died. But this makes up for it. A big SQUEE at the end so I don't give any spoilers away. And be careful what Capaldi says, don't take it literally (or Not).
I guess i am happy with Amy and Rory being stuck in the past now...
I agree with the other comments about the series finale. Skip it if you want to end the show on a good note. I LOVED this show because of the two leads. Not every episode was amazing, but there were real gems in there. They could have really done something different with the ending; it left me with a sour taste in my mouth... That said, I still recommend the rest of the series. It's one of my all-time favourites.
Well... shit just got real.
I think this was one of the best episodes ever
Really enjoyed this movie, good action and some very cool funny moments. Probably the best out out of the series so far (either this or the 1st, hard to pick without watching again).
If you love (american) football, you'll love this movie!
Girls really turned out great during the season :-)
Don't listen to the people who diminish it as a SatC copy/successor; it really is different.
It really was okay. Check it out.
Totally Badass!
