I just want to watch the one-take fight scene in the hallway again! No Sleep Till Brooklyn the rewatch!!
Didn’t expect to enjoy it that much. It was a lot of fun to watch. A lot of jokes landed really well, some didn’t but it’s okay.
I’m still thinking about the chase with the big dragon bit and it makes me smile the day after :blush:
Just two words : Din Grogu :joy:
This first part of season 4 is a masterpiece in storytelling :100:
The buildup in this episode is incredible. The use of music on the show in general and for the plot is just pure genius.
Yes, some parts are slower and maybe a bit boring at time like the Russian/Hopper storyline but that comeback is going to be awesome… I feel it. Also, it can’t be too easy and it needs building.
UBA+ aka Cory+ on Apple TV+ :upside_down:
Incredible casting but no story or character development… like in a lot of other western movie.
One difference with other westerns is the music. I love this kind of music and it’s good to hear JAY-Z, Jadakiss or Lauryn Hill but I think it wasn’t a good fit for this movie style and the pace of the movie.
If you’re looking for a revisited western movie, with a great (partly black) cast and some good hip-hop with a western twist music, you’re better with Django Unchained.
This movie should be titled Jeff :robot:. That’s it. That’s my review.
Is it me or Brad Cage looked more like Hugh Jackman than Brad or Cage? Or does it mean that if Brad and Cage had a son he would look like Hugh!? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I liked the movie. It was an entertaining heist movie. It’s not a Zack Snyder movie. It’s not a zombie movie. It’s a Matthias Schweighöfer heist movie.
Matthias Schweighöfer is perfect in his role, his face and body expressions are so funny!
It was also great to see Nathalie Emmanuel. She’s just… extremely lovable which made her perfect for the role. I’ve seen her in Game of Thrones only before this.
Two less positive notes:
1) It was hard for me to take Jonathan Cohen seriously because I watched him in something else (La Flamme) and I thought his English acting needed some work.
2) It’s a shame that this movie didn’t come before Army of the Dead. It would have been a good introduction for the “main” movie even if, as I said, both movies have close to nothing in common expect some context.
PS: the guys that were in charge of the animation of the mechanisms inside the safes did an excellent job!
This is the “hate it or love it” kind of episode. The difficulty with Ted Lasso is that the main thing is so brilliant that this kind of off-road episode can be hard to be appreciated.
There was an episode like that in Atlanta and more recently in Mythic Quest — also on Apple TV+. But I think they missed something here.
In Atlanta it was a real off-road, this one is half way off.
In Mythic Quest the purpose was to give context on the present day or on the background of lesser known character, this one is just a confirmation of what’s been glimpsed all along.
I’m clearly not objective about this one because it’s just a mix of things I just love: Star Wars, Samurai/japan culture, manga style drawings, gorgeous and detailed animation,…
The amazing part is that it’s mixed just right, with a lot of respect. Respect! :100:
Lot of fun with the kids. Watched in French (for the kids). I thought the fact that all songs were in the original language (English) would disappoint them but it didn’t. They had a blast.
Ended movie night with some of the original songs like Somebody to Love by Queen.
Now looking for the movie soundtrack :notes::eyes:
“This is what happens when Disney buys Marvel and Fox” :joy:
That 9-year-old child is a solid actress! You can find her in Them on Amazon Prime with the same mother but in a totally different genre. As I said, solid actress.
Put your brain on “off” mode…
Then enjoy a mix of a bunch of movies and sci-fi concepts without expecting too much even if they try to wrap it with smart quotes and narration.
I would’ve loved this movie when I was 13. Now it made me smile and rolled my eyes a couple of times. But it entertained me for an evening.
I watched it in French because I like watching movies in the original version with the original voices. It’s also my mother (and father) tongue. I don’t know if it’s this movie or maybe I watched too many movies in English but every interactions felt fake. Maybe because a lot of the interactions are with the AI or with other people on the “phone” which is different in terms of acting than playing with other actors.
Anyway, I liked the premise. It made me think about Buried. I liked all the sci-fi twists and how the sci-fi part grows along the movie.
I didn’t like how the AI was sometimes not smart at all but it just helps the movie. Also the communication part that always need amplification and the reach of it doesn’t make a lot of sense. But again, it helps building the suspense up.
Lots of dad jokes. Made me laugh out loud. I think the kids laughed but I’m not sure because… I’m really loud :joy:
Never read the books but I guess Tom Clancy’s work translates pretty good on the “big” screen. I’m wondering if Amazon is planning to make a crossover with Jack Ryan. I would like that.
Only thing I didn’t like in this movie was the prison scene. I think it went to fast and he made it out way to easily.
Overall entertaining and good.
I’m always feeling like the episode went too fast. The end credits kinda surprise me again. I’m not talking about the pacing of the show. It is great. So great that every episode feels like it’s gone in like 15 minutes. I loved Wanda Vision but it didn’t do that. Am I the only one?
This may be one of the saddest movie I’ve watched. Not an easy subject but an easy watch thanks to good writing, performance, direction,... did I mention writing and performance? Yes, twice!
It wasn’t bad for the genre. I mean the video game adaptation genre.
I didn’t play the game so I didn’t look at anything else than the entertaining factor and that was okay.
I had to laugh at the Rambo 3 gunpowder cauterization scene. We know who did it first so the question is who did it better :joy:?
Some funny moment due to the language barrier between the two monter hunters. Just a shame that they had to have one perfect English speaker in the other world to make the plot go forward.
:joy::joy::joy:
I think they dragged it a bit too much. The acting is great, the premise is also good, the suspense is there but could have been perfect if it was only 5 or 6 episodes instead of 10. Some situation and character decisions are so far-fetched because of this that the overall experience takes a hit.
In this episode, the part where everybody is at the table made me think about this expression: “you could cut the atmosphere with a knife”. Solid acting, good writing.
Didn’t like it much. Still don’t know what the message of the movie was. Maybe they tried to push too many and the lost focus is my problem.
The keys crafting and door unlock parts are some next level MacGyver stuff :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Also made me think about what Prison Break would be if it was a tiny bit realistic.
Anyway, not the greatest movie but the tension is so high it ends up to be highly entertaining.
A show full of heart and good intentions :satisfied:. Watching with kids from 4 to 12 years old: entertaining and educational :nerd:.
One episode on tv+ contains two episodes in here :panda_face::panda_face:.
Love that they made him fight without his helmet, suit and utility belt. Showing us that he’s not just Batman. Mando is Superman with a Batman suit.
They also made Mando remove his helmet. The child truly means more to him than Moff Gideon will ever know.
No, I have enough pets. :joy:
Long story short : don’t lie. If you do, try to be clever when covering it.
Almost stopped before the end of the movie because the parents were acting stupid. Almost missed the final plot twist.
