This movie shook me to the bones. I had a ton of opportunities to read the book but I've always dismissed it as a boring angst/teen drama. I can't believe how wrong I was.
This movie is true beyond belief, I don't see a person without any psychological problem to write this. As a person with this kind of problems it hit me hard with relatability and insights about how it looks. I could say it grazed only the surface and it could dig more but in reality, psychological problems are hidden, by people suffering from them, their families, society, we don't talk about them, we dismiss them, we cannot express them in words. So the movie did its justice.
I really believed, at the beginning, that a movie starting so depressing have to end happy. It didn't and I coudn't believe it. I think it hit me bc I have a similar problem as Finch did and in this, I saw one of the ways it could end. I'm so glad I watched it and I can't give it less than 10 stars.
For those who have problems with understanding the movie, just believe me, for some - it is exactly like that, and we can't sometimes understand it too. I'm gonna go read the book now.
It broke my heart and I can't be happy... but it was beautiful and I'm sad I can't see it again without knowing about it.
I should start with the fact that I liked the theatrical cut of Justice League when it came out. I watched it maybe two times which says so much that I didn't rewatch it as crazy as I am a lot of movies, tho.
In this one, I've found EVERYTHING that the first one lacked plus things I didn't know I needed (like finally one scene when Superman doesn't feel like a moving statue).
Pros:
- THE MUSIC! From beginning to the end when the beat drops when Diana is about to fight... . I'm in love. But almost every musical decision during the whole movie was clear to me and distinct. Really added so much to the atmosphere.
- omg THE LORE!!!! The war from the retrospection with added scenes/characters AND with so much more Lore. I cannot breathe! Anti-life equasion/Darkseid. So informative.
- The fights were totally more entertaining and engaging. Still, the last fight could be longer although parademons are easy to kill.
- more scenes with Cyborg, Flash AND Steppenwolf added clarity why or how they did what they did, also more scenes with creative use of their powers which is always great.
- Mera!!
- MARTIAN!!!!!!
- Jared Leto's Joker!!
- whole Epilogue O.O I need it NOW! (in more elaborate words: I finally felt I needed the next movies while still watching this one, not like in the original cut)
Cons:
- I DEFINITELY didn't need more scenes with Lois x.x No chemistry with Clark and it hurts to watch them, sulking and crying and OMG A SCENE WHEN LOIS BUYS COFFEE that lasts couple seconds but is only this. We interrupt the scheduled world saving to show you that Lois is a human coffee drinker.
- In other words, it had a few scenes that really didn't bring anything, even words. I have to give it as another con as Snyder decided to delete some cool scenes from the original and I cannot see why (the scenes I was mostly waiting for: 1. when Diana and Bruce 'fight' about the plan to revive Superman and Bruce speaks about her dead bf, 2. bc DC has almost none of the humor (compared to Marvel) I wished the scene when Aquaman sits on the Lasso of Truth wasn't deleted)
- Am I that "feministic" or is Diana heavily reduced? I've found many scenes when she didn't even spoke like when a serious problem was considered. She was the only one who didn't spoke on the 'Is reviving Superman a good plan?' debate and couple more.
- In the many new scenes with Cyborg and Flash The Big Trio felt really... lacking. Idk, is it just bc they had fewer new scenes that I've felt that?
- Still I cannot connect with Cyborg or Flash, some added scenes were great but still don't think I could last a whole movie with one or the other alone
I AM more interested in DCs future than in Marvels now. Although, with DC I really try to not have hope that other movies will even exist.
I thought to give it 8/10 bc I'm so bitter about Diana but I am so happy that this movie was even released that I couldn't give it less that 9/10. Might change later.
Ok, I'm shocked. This was THE BEST movie with cheating plot. Seriously. The first time it was believing for me that the marriage couple stayed married/she didn't choose the other guy not the reason itself but the characters having great relationship and chemistry and all.
The plot wasn't really dramatic. Noone was a bad person who stalks/rapes/kills/or wathever so the woman's choice could be simple. I hate that portrayal with this type of movies and I've see some of them. The other guy ending up as some psycho which should made it easy for the woman to choose or the husband to get close with his wife again, etc. BUT it is still entertaining! Without the overdramatic stuff. I think it could be a story for some people to happen in real life even tho it was the biggest happy ending it could be. I was hoping for every character to be happy.
I aspire to be such a person as Gabby was. She was human, with flaws and not without wavering. But when she was honest... she was honest with everyone and I freaking loved that. She admitted it was her fault, she could even wait a second for her girls to believe the father is at fault. And the best was when Matt came to see Henry and she without any waver admitted "It's Matt, Henry's dad." and then quickly sat with her daughter and explained what the situation will be now with Matt being in their lives even tho she's not with him but Henry is his son.
It's so much to be saying after an easy movie but it really shocked me how much I liked it and how modern with good parental choices it was (Gabby). I'm all for honesty with kids, admitting parents can make bad decisions as well as kids, and parents should apologise too.
I dare to say... it was better than Grey. For a such ridiculous story it was far more realistic which made it so much more enjoyable (and I enjoyed Grey).
I totally didn't know anything about the movie, I watched it bc i saw a scene with the knives from the beginning of the movie and I had to watch it. 2 hours went by so quickly, the amount of times when I was fidgeting afraid sth's bad gonna happen for Ani was uncountable pretty much. To the end I wondered if she really does feel relief or not, I just hope she can be truly happy.
For those who think she's a bad person and the movie didn't show any growth and any redeemable qualities in Ani....... I think you skipped the last 30 minutes or so. She doesn't need any redeemable characteristics. The whole movie is like her seeing, understanding the fakeness of everything, this is a therapy movie. The growth couldn't be any clearer. I just wished the other two weren't alive to see this and that at the end we didn't see any backlash at Dean or a smile from the teacher guy.
It wasn't over the top in anything. It was a little bit fun, a little bit romance and a nice approach to BDSM. It was really refreshing and well developed. I didn't think Korea will do such a movie, even tho it's Netflix but I'm also shocked that it was very good.
Surprisingly good. I too thought it would be just another romantic movie with army plot. You know what will happen through entire movie but it's well acted, the couple has great chemistry and it's a little bit fresh raising some issues without being too political. Definitely worth to watch.
I watched a lot of romantic comedies, ive had enough, but I still wanted to check this duo of great actors. I had fun, I even laugh on multiple occasions so thats already shocking. The was so much killing it was shocking in a romantic comedy for me and the action made it fresh even though they really started killing and taking guns and making jokes. Shouldnt be silly yet they made it fun somehow.
Definitely one you could watch couple times.
I will watch anything with Kate, not even knowing what it is about like in this case. I hate comedies as every one has the same dumb jokes but this one got me at times. It sure had some dumb scenes but not seen before, throwing newborns especially. Really fun watch.
I thought about many endings but they still surprised me a little bit.
This was the best oe of the three. It lacked in plot tho. But it was so enjoyable, without stupid childish drama from previous ones. Awesome!
This movie went in EVERY direction it could. After half of the movie I was already out of ideas... it's something!
It wasnt a good horror, or suspense even. But I give 7 for the chemistry between actors, even tho Evie was so naive a woman living in NY shouldn't, probably more so a black woman.
It was like a great depiction of Dracula for the very faint of heart xD
I really pitied the main actress and Lee pace about being in such a movie while watching it but the end made it like a satarical of a thriller? It really made the whole expirience very different. It's sort of 'you need to hear the story to the end' kind xD
It was a nice ending to the fresh first movie and forgettable sequel. I had low expectations and Salma Hayek? Here? But how come Salma and Channing have such a great chemistry? It was more of a romance movie with a dance plot. Tho, I watched a lot of dance movies and these dances, whether to be strip dances or a usual kind of dances... this wasn't it. At that point i was so hoping for a grand finale and this didnt deliver. However, the many many slides on a watered scene were interesting.
All in all, not a bad movie. From low expectations its a challenge to feel bad.
What I wanted more from this movie:
- I really liked the more of a comic atmosphere the introduction to characters made in 1st one whn they've just written the powers of characters, I was really missing it here
- how the hell we didnt have any interactions between Harley and Nanaue?!!! I miss them from Harley Quinn animation
- more atmosphere making music.... I only acknowledged one song and it was during the end credits, I didn't hear anything elseduring the movie
What I liked:
- am I shipping Flag with Harley now? They could have a really nice friendship
- still funny tho not that funny as the 1st one
- Harley didnt disappoint
- Nanaue stole every scene he was in
- I didnt expect to like any of the new characters excluding my Nanaue but I am fond of Ratcatcher now
What I didnt like:
- I felt like there was more of a mission than individual characters in this
- the chemistry bewteen characters was lacking soooo much comparing to the first instalment, in this one I remember only the girl, Idris Elba and Flag
- Idk if it's just me or I cannot see Bloodsport I only see Idris Elba, maybe bc withwill Smith I didn't see that many movies with him so I could see him as his character but Idris Elba is Idris Elba for me and I watch anything with him really
- I watched it for 3 characters and theyve killed two of them................. really you had to kill Flag after him being so nice and kind here?
For some reason I really like this series, dont remember 1st one, 2nd one only Rose thing was interesting, this one I couldnt stare away. Not original definitely, not the best CGI but I was waiting for it and it didnt disappoint so... nice.
Narration which reads some of the stuff we see written on the screens is pointless and throws you out. Sometimes actors were so not convincing in the moments which I loved in the book bc emotions were important in them.
But oh gosh I love how well it depicted the book. I've read it a year ago and from what I remember the movie was so on point with everything! I am shocked!
It's super hard to paint a picture were emotions are the key to understanding the character like Jake, who is and should be, mostly not moved and not moving. The book had easy bc you can just write what he thinks and the movie lacks it so much. I wouldn't recommend the movie to someone who never read the book bc of that, which sucks, but how could they do it? Slap this awful narration over it?
And ofc the end got me like the book did. With every minute the acting was better so I'm glad I got through and watched it all.
I wouldn't say it's a romantic comedy. We don't have to say that sth is a comedy when there is only a couple scenes that make us smile. It's a romantic movie. And what's refreshing... it's a romantic movie without ANY unnecessary drama. Every decision you can believe that somebody would do. Which makes it also kind of boring as a medium of entertainment tbh.
The story is surely unique but as a slow movie (which is only a fact, not a minus) it really ends so abruptly. you have little action and then boom, at the climax it ends. Really weird feeling.
I really like the story, some bits were fresh ideas I din't see in such movies. But every death couldbe easily avoidable if ppl weren't so stupid. And the 'chasing' scenes were so short the demon/ghost felt not so powerful as they all talked about so much. The movie is pretty much all talk and not really showing. The pacing is lacking as well. Overall, the plot has potential but the execution is really bad.
Omg, Allison is made so dumb I was furious the whole movie!
Predictable as hell... and I'm f***ing not believing this stupid half-ass theory that they do die if "their time comes". What bullshit is that? They don't even contemplate at least how much they have and if some have more or less and many other questions. My theory that they simply get tired of living that long, loose hope/determination etc is way better. It's how the black dude died and it even answers to the question of the asian chick tossed into the water.
The main fight at the end lasts for about 15 minutes and u know from the beginning of the moving noone stands a chance with them.
The whole thing with Nile not wanting to fight with them would be easily omitted by just having a convo about what are they doing with their lives. Not simply telling "we do what we believe in" - what the hell does it answer to? Most unfullfilling anser ever. And Nile doesn't even ask more about it, just thinks they kill ppl. for a person painted as the one who asks many questions she surely stops pretty quickly. They, as well, dont do shit to convince her tho they want her by their side.... Oh man. I was furious the whole time. And at the end I also have to believe Andy full mortal will be still fighting with them. That was perfectly leading to her again being immortal... so much wasted potential...
Action scenes were great tho.... so at least I liked seeing those.
Why people at some point think kids in action movies are fresh or interesting? I hate it, always. They're always in the way, ask so many not important questions, think they know everything and somehow I should believe that they could save the world? Yeah, nope! It's not a movie for kids so don't drag the kids in it.
1st hour 2/10
next 0,5 hour 6/10
then it became better than the new Tomb Raider! I wish this chick was the new Lara Croft.
But when they've finally led up to the main thing and paint a picture of these two that apparently are the most important... all went to shit in order of more scenes with fighting machines. I don't understand the reason to create the plot around two people when you don't really use the potential of it (both of them had pretty much one scene when they barely used what the movie says they are) and just throw so much machine fighting which don't bring anything new after 4 movies.
All in all, it had the potential, the story was interesting. I want to give it a 7/10 but if I wouldn't be a person who does everything to the end I would definitely turned it off after 20 or 30 minutes.
Ive waited for this with so much anticipation.... it was anticlimactic. I was s bored. Wouldn't finish if it weren't the Warrens. I loved two previous movies.This was a kind of criminal investigation with a bit of paranormal. The end was the best moment but I was already so bored I didn't care about anything.
I didn't get it...
Happy I didn't spend money for this. Boring... maybe, but the worst thing was that I predicted 90% of the movie and I was more interested in 'if it really is scientifically posible' than the story
I thought the monkey would be an interesting plot to follow... it didn't happen. The moon race was nice too.
How the f this movie was so bad?!! First WW was amazing and this.... this was all like a fanfic really. The only thing that this movie brought to the story is that Diana can finally fly.
The fights were bad, the story was worse. No sense. Chronologically incorrect. Dianas wardrobe mostly wasn't from the 80s but she somehow didnt stood up for everyone. It seems she works at the same Museum as she was in Batman v Superman so more than 30 years ...
I knew from the moment they revealed that this movie will be between the first WW and Batman v Superman that it wont have any sense. Batman said that Diana was detached from ppl bc from the WWI she wasnt going out as a superhero, he could find a picture of her from WWI but he didnt find anything from that moment. And I believe in Batmans powers for looking up ppl. And how bad explanation it is that the first thing Wonder Woman does when she sees a bad situation is looking for cameras and destroying them. Like come on!
And WHY the CGI was so freaking bad?!!!! From the beginning till like 2/3 of the movie CGI was more and more just looking raw!
The great legend with the greatest armor and the wings came for a second to be destroyed in the same scene. OMG WHAT A CRINGE.
The only thing that could save this movie was Diana waking up at the end and saying what a weird dream it was.
I am a fan of strong women, I am a fan of Wonder Women. I hope I will forget this movie exists.
It could be a great movie if they were sane and there was a reason. It isn't a point that he's a pedofile if you puch and puch and throw yourself naked on him looking like a 25yo. A pedofile is interested and turned on by someone looking young. The whole point was wrong which was the most annoying.
Nothing surprised me. I mean NOTHING.
I cannot give any stars to this movie to be honest. 6 is too little and 7 too much. At least, I can say, that it wasn't as bad as second Wonder Woman movie.
The "father" - Idk how the hell he has lived so many years. Most of his "friends" should kill him after listening to him for a while. The gap between his character at the beginning (even after he was done with his cover in Cuba) and when we see him next is, in my opinion, unexplainable. I was so done.
The "mother" was turning so quickly in every scene she was that after the film I could say anything about her. They could remove her from the movie and I wouldn't really know.
It could be easily the movie about the sisters, they have the strenght in their acting and chemistry to lead the movie entirely by themselves which would give us some time for the "villain" (who isn't really a villain, more like just a bad guy that has luck to not die easily) to make an impression. I didn't even remembered his name that's how I didn't feel anything from him. And it's entirely on the creators, not the actor who had to work with what he had which was nothing.
Also the final battle.... jumping from one falling part of the building to another was so laughable... We've seen thin in Captain America Winter soldier and it was similar to Dr Strange, but they are humans with some powers so it was somehow explainable. I was surprised they did sth like that with a human falling from such height, bumping into so many things, glass windows, while already been through so much biting. Because of this, I wasn't even surprised that after all of this Natasha was standing straight, without so much as limping.
I knew this movie, with its placement in the Marvel timeline, was unnecessary. I just sooo wanted to have Black Widow movie and know her roots.... It didn't get anything I wanted. even as a farewell gift for killing her. It's just... sad.
