avoidable... such a dumb movie with a bunch of unlikeable characters
What in the teenage drama was this?? First of all the main character was just unlikable and the plot was weird. I guess it started good but in the middle I found myself bored and I skipped some parts. Also the fact that they tried to put in some teenage phrases made me cringe plus the talk with the headmaster in the end was just not it for me. I do gotta say tho I liked the taylor swift reference.
Similar to Primer (2004) but as a comedy, shot àla Birdman (2014) . Impressively creative and funny.
Comedy, Action, Adventure, Romance, Cheesy, Botox filled
An entertaining Romancing the Stone rip-off. That is better than it has a right to be due to the perfect cast. As well as plenty of laughs. Though I was never feeling the romance aspect of the movie.
Another easy movie. It will entertain you if you do not see the faulty CGIs at extreme scenes or if you do not care about the simple plot. But it is not the worst. It is an OK movie to pass time with sympathetic Tom and Mark. 6.5/10
probably the best film michael bay has made since "the island" or maybe even since "the rock", it feels like a summer blockbuster from the 90s, reminiscent of "speed" and "con air", but not so much in a campy way like "the expendables" - rather in a completely sincere michael bay way, with massive car chases, loud explosions and strange rollercoaster-like camera movements
also, this looks like it cost a lot more to make than it actually did, demonstrating that bay doesn't need a 9-figure budget to make a big action flick
btw, this is actually a remake of a danish film from 2005, but if they had called it "grand theft auto" instead of "ambulance", it would have been a more successful video game adaption than "uncharted" was
The original Kingsman were action packed fun movies that were very entertaining and surprising with some very colorful characters, and I had the same expectations for The Kings Man but they just took too a historical route which made it too long to get to the origins of the Kings Man - I wanted to love the movie, and enjoyed the first too and this was fun but not nearly as good and funny as the originals, that's the simplest way to put it.
Funny and also worrying. Idiocracy 2.0 in my opinion, much more grounded in what's actually happening in the world right now.
While the story was a bit of a mess (I think?!) the camera work and the action sequences were absolutely insane. How?! Certainly a ride and one of the best action movies of the year tbh.
Another entry in the Netflix "movie of the week so don't be disappointed when it isn't as good as a proper movie" category.
Some excellent super-hard violence. A very good turn by MEW. Great use of Japan.
But... Very predictable and disappointing plot. Some of the dialogue is really simplistic and out of character.
Enjoyable watch that is visually excellent but really heavily let down by its formulaic plot.
6.5/10
Not a movie for everyone.
If you want lasers, explosions and monsters in your sci-fi this is not for you.
If you want creepy atmosphere, dialogs and good acting it's a perfect fit.
The movie is not perfect still.
The premise of a local radio getting strange reports from callers around the town is reduced very quickly to only two main calls.
I would have preferred to listen to more callers and have the tension and realization of what was happening building up a little slower than it was.
Also the black and white TV show thing didn't resonate well with me. If they limited that to the introduction it would have been better.
Still a solid 7 for me.
This film was kinda a mess but I still really enjoyed it. There was kind of no structure, it was very predictable, and a lot of characters had very forced in backstory exposition. But the film had charm, and that held it all together. As long as you like the characters, you'll like the film.
Also Polka-Dot Man is incredible and I love him.
Man that waitress deserved it
To be blunt its just a bit of a waste of Emily's talent
Was expecting something along the lines of Project Power, but got a dull and disjointed movie instead.
Not only does Fincher tell a story set in the golden age of Hollywood, but he evokes the style of filmmaking too. It's cleverly made, and Oldman is great as Mank. However, it didn't quite grip me the way I thought it would, perhaps due to the movie's talky nature. Still, that doesn't detract from what Fincher has tried to do here.
Artistically, it is perfect and the story behind it is really interesting. However, the actual entertainment value of it is lacking and the acting really isn't very good. It's still a classic that everyone who wants to learn about cinema should watch
Well, that was a decent first half of a movie...
I so love a happy ending. That was a happy ending, right?
SciFi B Movie based on a short of the same name. The first 30 minutes whipped me up into a frenzy. The visuals and slow pace were perfect. From then on it declined a bit, mainly due to the clunky script, weak characters and use of a few tropes (tripping over a branch in a forest while being pursued etc). The third act rescued it slightly, as did the gorgeous cinematography, which must have been on a limited budget, so fair play to the film-makers for producing something so interesting looking. Sophie Thatcher was fine as the lead, and I would have liked to see more of Jay Duplass.
Overall, a fine effort, just lacking in a bit of invention.
Far fetched tale (but so is that of the boy bitten by a radioactive spider), this is a weird blend of superhero movie and gang tale. I enjoyed it but the film probably needed an upgrade in humour and character development.
Fight scenes were awesome, the plot..... absolutely was not.
No spoilers ! Got to watch it earlier this week as a critic. Definitely way better than the first. we get to see a bit more character development and origin. There's a new character revealed that wasn't in the first movie. I'd rate this a 7/10
My cat couldn't bring herself to follow the red dot and I couldn't be bothered either. It's competently made but the twist cheats the viewer, and the film suffers narratively as a result.
Excellent movie.
People saying the ending is bad don’t get it.
They had the hunch, they saw him get aroused by the pictures, they know it’s him. When deke gets to the killers house he see his trophy case with the victim’s possessions, the proof they needed, they just can’t get the warrant yet because they need more evidence to get it. Unfortunately baxter ends up screwing up by shoveling the killer, just like deacon did when he shot the girl. Deke could have caught the killer but instead killed a witness. The same with baxter, could have gotten Sparma but...killed him instead.
When deacon gives the hair thingy to baxter he is doing him a favor, releasing him from his own daemons. That doesn’t mean he is not the guy, just that baxter fixated on a little thing that doesn’t matter anymore, because the actual killer is dead and there won’t be anymore victims.
Tesla seems to have been a very eccentric kind of person. I think that even the style of this movie might reflect that eccentricity, which i found to be interesting and unique.
The reason I only rated it a 6 instead of 7 or 8 is due to what felt like a lack of more substance. it felt like we barely scratched the surface of the man named Tesla.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Had a good final message about not letting the past ruin your future, but as a Disney movie it didn't age very well. I believe it went quite forgotten.
The comedy was pretty bad, the characters were obnoxious most of the time and the animation felt kind of rushed and incomplete, especially if compared to movies like Ratatouille and Shrek the Third that came out the same year.
