A sweet heartwarming romance with main actors that share a real amazing chemistry ! For what it's supposed to be, I think it did great. One thing I would say against it is that the whole underlying scenario is cliché, expected (but not enough that it'll stop you fromhaving a good time, imo).
I've heard Anne Hathaway has received criticism for looking too young to play a 40yo, even though she herself is exactly that lol. And good for her. Otherwise I quite enjoy Nicholas Galitzine, but I hope he'll be able to not be typecast in the future, so that he doesn't oversaturate the romance flick market.As a side note, Galitzine is 30. If they cast a real 24yo actor, would it have been cringier ? Maybe, given that we always see 24yo cast as highschoolers. How about irl though ?

@xir I personally hate it when people get too picky about the ages of the actors. I get reminded every time someone is picky about it "blah blah blah she looks too young to be 40" of Catch Me if You Can. Leonardo is 28 at the time of release, playing a 15-19 year old... who for most of the movie is 17 and is trying to pass himself off as someone in his late 20's. Nobody can tell someone's age very well outside of 10 year age brackets, and even if they can, its much harder on screen with makeup and tactics to try and change what a person looks like. Honestly, I don't think it would have been cringier if he was 24, I think it would have been the same :person_shrugging:♀ Actors act the way the script demands, not the age they are
Another Special Presentation from Marvel, and another success. This is the way Marvel should move forward as the TV shows are too much. But this is great fun. It's simple, effective and fun. This will probably something I watch for many Christmas' to come. It doesn't break the mold, but it's a fun 45 minutes at Christmas time, especially if you love these characters.
This is really a Mantis showcase. This is the best she has looked so far and hopefully that continues on to Volume 3. Also the music is fantastic. DC is in very good hands with James Gunn.

VIPEP11People complain about Jean dying, but that's actually the only reason I've rated this movie an 8. I love it when movies succesfully make me feel something.

@mesoptier yeah, a big good part about this film is how they make these huge main characters die and make their death scene mean something. scott's death sucked, i didn't even know he died until wolverine asked jean why she killed him, and even then it didn't really sink in until the grave scene. charles' death kinda sucked too, but the way the characters reacted after (especially magneto) made it better. jean's was a legendary scene, really elevated the movie. very sad and very emotionally charged.

VIP3Did not like it.
I guess it will go well with star stricken audience that watches movies just because a movie star that they like is in it.
For me it is a bad movie.
Bad characters (after watching the movie ask yourself what did you actually learn about lead characters.
Not two rows worth of character development and also almost no interaction between them).
Bad heist plot (multiple plot holes and inconsistencies:
SPOILERS they drag Ann to toilet so they can steal the necklace and then act that they found it somewhere else because it slipped although it was pointed out that it can not slip since you need magnetic key to remove it, or at least wouldn't it be easier just to give her the fake necklace in the toilet saying that it fell.
Also later they drove off with the rest of the diamonds while the place was in lockdown by "best security team in the world" that just accepts "oh, look what i found in the pool" explanation...
Not to mention the movie is caled Ocean's Eight but there were seven women in a group which made Ann Hathaway's reveal at the end not so much of a shock, more of a meh.
There are many more plot holes but it would take longer to read them than to watch this movie.
About SJW in the movie
they managed to cover all "the colors of Benetton", Also it is marketed as a movie about an "All women's heist team",
but in the end they have a male in a team, but I guess he doesn't count and doesn't deserve an equal part of the loot.
Constance swiped one necklace and gets 38 million, but the guy that collected all the rest gets a tap on the shoulder, and no credit.loading replies
@dborg tbh the whole seven women thing i just thought she was excluding herself lol. and im sure they gave the guy some of the cut, he wouldnt have done it w out it
let me tell you, i did not expect to see actors i recognized here
