The movie's message is very hypocritical because it claims to promote feminism but actually promotes female supremacy (women ruling over men, not the equality message that feminists tend to preach). The barbies getting their world back from the Kens is seen as fair and equal even though it is literally a matriarchy where the men are just there to entertain the women and don't even have their own houses. They switch from patriarchy to matriarchy but never mention it.
I am a very liberal person and I am completely for equality, but not female supremacy. And besides, if it was just a few references it would have been fine even then, but the problem is it is the film's main plot. The whole point of the movie is to lecture to men why they shouldn't be the ones in charge and make them appear as buffoons, as morons who can't do anything right, that's what I despise about this movie. The women are never portrayed as idiots except when they are in a brainwashed state, yet the movie claims to promote equality. That's the problem with radical feminists like the film's director (Greta Gerwig).
I guess next time, before I pay for movie tickets, I am going to actually read the critic reviews and make sure that the filmmaker is not a radical moron before I make my decision. This time, I just foolishly picked the movie based on the eye candy I saw in the trailer. And yes, the eye candy was there throughout the entire movie, but that's the only good thing about the movie, everything else was horrible. Ryan Gosling is a great actor but in this, he is portrayed as a weak spineless man, and the few times where he is portrayed as strong, it is only in a stereotypical way to make fun of him. If the movie really preached equality, it wouldn't be so focused on making the men appear as idiots or promoting a female dominated society, it is because of that kind of stuff that plenty of people (including some women) are against feminism.
I completely understand wanting to tear down the patriarchal aspects of society or calling them out, but by replacing them with ideas of female supremacy, it makes the movie's message lose its credibility, because feminism tends to be about equality, not trading patriarchy for matriarchy, which doesn't even work in the real world. All matriarchal societies are either failures or they are stuck in a very undeveloped state and never make any progress. Also, there is a reason why some jobs are more male dominated than others, very few women want to work in construction, because it is dirty, it is a lot of heavy lifting, and it can lead to broken nails and even serious injuries.
Hailee Steinfeld's performance is by far the best, Oscar Isaac's Miguel O' Hara was pretty good too.
The animation was beautiful, like true eye candy. It had just the right balance between good action, good characters, and emotional scenes. I've never had this much fun watching an animated movie before. I had seen the first one but this second one is far better in my opinion but the first one set things up pretty well.
Sex feels lifeless when you do it with a hot girl that you have no connection with, but it feels amazing when you do it with someone that you really connect with. That's the message of the movie and it is completely true.
But, essentially, Jon is right, you don't have to be in love to really connect with someone. I noticed from personal experience that one date can be more than enough to realize that you don't connect with the other person at all. A few months ago, I went on a date with my younger sister's friend (she is 21, I am 24 but she is more advanced in academics than me) after she texted me (she had asked my sister for my number after seeing me in person with my family) and although I didn't find her hot, I chose to give her a chance because I usually don't get a lot of opportunities, but all it took was for her to confess over drinks that she takes MDMA regularly and gets drunk often and brags about her alcohol tolerance and is a very judgy vegan, and from that point on, I knew that it was never going to work out. Even if she was really hot, I wouldn't have been interested.
Throughout the movie, we see a similar phenomenon, Jon is constantly sleeping with hot women without really getting to know them, so when he has sex, he just sees women as objects to satisfy his desires, there is no connection. It is only when he meets the older woman in his class that he develops a genuine connection and that's why when he has sex with her, it doesn't feel lifeless anymore.
The plot makes no sense.
The police chase her after her partner's brother snitches on her, but somehow she still manages to escape to another country? They really expect us to believe that she wouldn't just get caught at the airport? Even Catch Me If You Can makes more sense than this. Also, how does she manage to get credit card numbers without any hacking abilities? And it's not like she knows any hackers either. And, how does she end up being so powerful with only a taser and a box cutter? It makes no sense that nobody uses guns in this movie. Hell, even the Armenians that she steals from in the beginning should have had guns, they were way nicer than they would have been if it was realistic.
The movie is slightly entertaining nonetheless, enough to feel like I didn't completely waste my time, especially since I watched most of it on a plane (downloaded from Netflix beforehand). But there are much better movies out there that tap into that same crime thriller genre.
It was great because the songs were very well done and the story was interesting but of course, because it's a romcom, they had to ruin it all with a stupid ending. Also, Ed Sheeran is extremely overrated but his scenes were funny nonetheless.
It was very similar to The Suicide Squad but better in my opinion, mainly because of The Rock and because the CGI in this movie was very impressive. It's not a masterpiece but it's a classic action movie, kind of like the type that The Rock is usually in but in the DC superhero kind. The story isn't very good but I still enjoyed it because of the action scenes, the effects, the characters and the acting.
This is an excellent movie that has completely surpassed my expectations. It has lots of amazing action and great comedy and wonderful performances from all the actors involved. The movie reminds me of Kill Bill.
I hated this movie, not because of what it represents, but because the jokes were not funny at all, and the scenes that were supposed to be emotional didn't make sense because the characters were so bland and so I couldn't get attached to them at all.
Also, I loved Taika Waititi's scene in The Suicide Squad but he does a really terrible performance as Hitler. This movie tries too many times to be both serious and funny and I think that is why I couldn't enjoy it. I don't usually give a 1/10 to a movie, especially when it has such a good IMDb score, but this is the exception.
Also, it is very stupid that every time someone dares to post a negative review about this movie, they get attacked and downvoted to oblivion. Comedy is subjective, this is also why there are a lot of people who don't like movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The fans of Jojo Rabbit kind of remind me of the toxic fanbase of Rick and Morty who will always tell you that if you don't understand the jokes, it's because you have a low IQ.
And, the thing is that I knew just 20 minutes in that I hated this movie but because of all the hype, I forced myself to finish it, and I never should have done that because it was a complete waste of time. From now on, if a movie doesn't hold my attention enough for the first 20-30 minutes, I'll just move onto the next one. I could have been watching way better stuff during that time instead of this garbage.
This movie is extremely underrated because people judge it as a Marvel movie, so they expect a lot of action and they are disappointed when they see that for most of the movie, Thor doesn't even have his powers.
Many people dislike this movie because of the lack of action but it has the best character development out of all the other Marvel movies that focus on a character. No other Marvel character has evolved as a person in one movie as much as Thor has in this movie.
At the beginning of the movie, Thor has a really big ego since he is only interested in action, fame and glory, and he would rather kill people than save people so at this point, he is not really a true superhero, just a warrior who wants to fight.
The reason why Odin takes away Thor's powers is because that is the only way for him to become more humble and to grow into the responsible adult that his father wants him to be.
And of course, many people would say that Thor shouldn't be this way to begin with but they forget that his father was the king of Asgard, so he was raised in similar conditions as the rich kids of our world, and those kids tend to let it go to their head and they start to think like they are better than everyone else. And I am not relying on something that I read, but my own experiences to claim such things because I spent 4 years around rich kids in middle school.
It was only when Thor lost his powers and became as weak as a human that he realized his vulnerabilities and that is when he became more humble and less focused on his ego.
Another thing that I love about that movie is that at the end, you can see that Thor has evolved so much as a person that he can be viewed as a hero when he stops Loki from destroying Jotunheim completely. But the thing is that Loki is doing the exact same thing that the former Thor from the beginning of the movie would have been willing to do. The main difference between Thor and Loki is that Thor is the only one between the two who grows as a character because he is the only one who is punished by Odin.
This movie shows that it is not the costume and the hammer that makes Thor a superhero, but it is what he does with those things. In the beginning, he was a selfish warrior, and in the end, he became a selfless hero who was willing to sacrifice his own life for the safety of other people even though he knew that without his powers, he wouldn't be able to win.
What is interesting when looking at the Disney+ Loki series (which came out 10 years after this movie) is that when Loki is punished by the TVA, he also learns a lesson and grows as a hero just like Thor did in this movie.
This movie was much more disappointing than I remember. I first watched it as a kid at the age of around 10 years old, I am now 22 and I hadn't watched it until today since the first time that I saw it. When I was a kid, I loved the crazy violence and fight scenes because I had seen nothing like it and I thought it looked cool. But now that I am an adult, when I watch this movie, I see only try-hard fight scenes that look like the star wars prequels' lightsaber fights. This movie also has tons of plot holes, there are things that make no sense and there are scenes that defy the laws of physics. At one point in the movie, snow suddenly appears everywhere, it's as if in only a few hours, it changed from summer to winter but with absolutely no explanation. Also, apparently in the kill bill world, special magic swords can cut other swords like butter. There are so many japanese stereotypes that seem completely ridiculous. Also, guns exist in that fictional world but when people use swords, it's as if all the character forget that using a gun would be much more effective, though, after seeing so much ridiculous nonsense in this movie, I wouldn't be surprised if the protagonist was able to make the bullets bounce off her sword. That is how cartoonish this movie is. I know that Tarantino is famous for using a lot of crazy violence in his movies but in this one, it was so overused that it quickly started to look very fake. And, many characters are able to do things that they shouldn't be able to do just so the movie can happen. This movie can be entertaining but you basically have to shut off your brain completely when you watch it since its even less realistic than a superhero movie.
The only good things about this movie are the soundtrack, the acting, the animation, the japanese voices and a few funny scenes.
Good movie, it exceeded my expectations, from the reviews I had read I didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did. The effects were pretty good and the action was mind blowing, there were many great emotional scenes and the ending was very well done.
From the very beginning, the beautiful visuals were stunning but the slow pace of the story and the endless technical jargon ruins any potential this movie had. It was a bit enjoyable after all but the slow pace made the movie very boring at times.
It was fine, but not as amazing as they could have made it and this is coming from a true fan who loved the series. The last 30 minutes were much more enjoyable than the rest which was boring at times. 6/10.
This movie was disappointing, I had very high expectations before seeing the film and they were crushed too easily. The pace of this movie is very slow, so slow that it gets boring and rarely do you get to see anything interesting. There were some good scenes but most of them were very bad, they had a big budget and they made very little of it, there are only 2 light saber sword fights and both are very short which was very disappointing to me. There was basically no character development, most of the leaders were women which made no sense. Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker was barely used in this movie. The movie's main villain which was so over hyped ended up being killed too easily in a one shot kill, I mean, they didn't even try to show a good lightsaber fight between Snoke and Rey which they definitely could have done because the lightsaber fights are the cheapest part of the movie to make but they could have used amazing choreography to make it look good but they didn't. I'd even go as far as saying the prequels were better made than this movie. I didn't hate the movie though as there were some scenes that did surprise me and were totally unexpected. In reality, I am a true fan of the franchise, having watched all the original ones and the prequels many times since I was a kid, I loved The Force Awakens and gave it a 10/10 because it was everything I had ever looked for in a Star Wars movie but this movie definitely wasn't anything like The Force Awakens.
An amazing movie with an amazing lead actor. At first I thought 3 hours would be too long and too boring but this movie was great and the ending matched the story exactly. There are many great values you can learn from this movie.
Bad storytelling and failed remake but great stuntwork and great landscapes. The characters weren't very interesting and the story was bad but the scenes looked beautiful, the scenes in nature were total eye candy. 6/10.
The solution to the problem the main character is facing was predictable. The rest wasn't. I never knew a movie could have such good visuals and such amazing acting. Yes, it's about teenage girls, yes a lot of the music is made of bad pop songs(though there were some good songs that matched the mood of the scene). But this movie surprised me, I never felt as sad when the movie ended since a long time ago. I really liked the main character, and her evolution throughout the movie. Though like most movies of this kind, I guess hollywood sends the wrong message, telling guys that all they have to do is be nice guys and they'll get the girl is just a bunch of lies. But anyways, I don't watch movies so that they can teach me something, I watch movies for the experience, to feel emotions I would rarely feel in real life. And I have to say, this movie was beautiful, it may not be a masterpiece because of the many flaws I have mentioned but it is beautiful and I was surprised as I never would have imagined that it would have been as good as it is.
This movie was very special. For the first time in months, I felt like I was really focused on the movie I was watching. Prior to watching this movie I hadn't read the plot which was a good thing because I didn't know what was going to happen or what the movie was about and I was surprised at every twist and turn. The music was very good. I am normally not a fan of crime dramas but this one was so different from the others that it was much more interesting. The filmmaking and the acting were incredible from beginning to end. It's so hard nowadays to find a movie that is as good as this one in all those aspects especially a crime movie, they don't make them as good as they used to.
This movie was not only terrible but very boring from beginning to end, and I like M Night Shyamalan normally (I liked the Sixth Sense) but this movie, I don't get what anyone sees in it, the characters are a bunch of idiots, the children they're children ok, but the two adults are barely adults, they're so scared throughout the whole movie even though there's nothing to be scared of. And the ending, that just makes no sense. I really don't get why they call this a thriller, there was no thrill and the mystery was only there for a couple of minutes and was not the type of mystery you really want to solve, it also wasn't scary to me at all. I really regret wasting nearly 2 hours of my time on this crap of a movie.
Amazing acting, great action scenes, good movie, but I didn't like the protagonist, he was no antihero, only a villain. This movie was fun to watch but definitely not a masterpiece despite it being a classic in the film industry. I found the character Tony Montana to be a complete idiot, yes, he has courage but his decisions make no sense. I know this movie isn't trying to be realistic but an idiot like Tony Montana would never get as up in the world in real life. He has none of the characteristics that make a great leader except for scaring the hell out of everyone around him. In the end I can only give this a 7/10.
The story is terrible, Colombus is the typical nice guy and both him and Tallahassee are complete idiots in this movie, letting themselves be led by two little girls. And, the chemistry between Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone is nonexistant, it just doesn't work at all. And the concept of running zombies just made no sense at all. I didn't completely hate this movie though, there were funny scenes, and some good nostalgia from having watched it with an old friend around 1 year after it's release.
This movie was unoriginal and boring. I really don't see what's so fun in seeing a movie about a underdeveloped character that just uses guns for the entire movie with terrible fight choreography. The fight scenes were at best like those of a low budget indie movie. Yes, before I've seen plenty of times movies that were of the same genre (most movies were with Jason Statham) but those were at least 7/10 this deserves a 3/10, the only things I liked in this movie were the gold coin system, the rain sequences (which had good camera work) and the cool muscle cars. Most people who like this movie are probably kids or people who haven't seen many action movies in their lives, I've seen most of them already, so I tend to have a more critical mindset towards those kinds of movies. The only time a dull movie like this one could become good would be if there was comedy in it like 21 Jump Street or Mr. Right. These days, I find that the only good action movies are the superhero movies and that's not because I only like superhero movies (if you see my ratings). Another thing I found pretty terrible was how the actors that play the russian mob don't look russian at all, they didn't even try. At least in Arrow, the russian mob really looks like how the real russian mob would look like but not here.
I feel like the movie was visually stunning in the effects and the filming but the story itself and its main character are weak, I mean she's supposed to be an FBI agent for christ's sake, and she can't do anything to defend herself. She was acting like a fucking civilian. Makes no sense whatsoever. And letting the villain win for no reason was a terrible idea. I give this a 4/10. I really don't get what the critics see in this piece of crap of a movie to give it a total rating of 94%. At least to me, a good movie is a movie that has good strong realistic characters and an interesting story, and amazing movie for me is something that does all that and has stunning visuals and gives me chills. All this movie had was stunning visuals, but the ending was terrible. Worst movie ending ever.
It was the most beautiful and emotional movie I have ever seen, I recommend it to everyone. This movie was there when I needed it the most, it shows how much one man can make a difference in the world, no matter what he does, and how we sometimes don't even realize what impact our very own existence can have on other people's lives.
Best Boxing Movie I have ever seen. 10/10
This movie was ... special, I wouldn't call it a masterpiece or a perfect film but this movie is like no other romance movie. Instead of only showing the best parts to make you feel warm feelings, it shows you everything and all in one night. And what is truly special about this movie is that it is realistic, I mean you can imagine that a story like this could indeed be possible, it's about seizing the opportunities as they come instead of just watching life happen and not doing anything. I, myself, feel that there are many moments within my life's history, that if I had acted differently, my life would not be the same, I have so many "What if" moments. And, I watch these kinds of movies, not only to feel good or sad for a short amount of time but also to show me examples of situations where there actually is an opportunity to seize. Not many guys watch as much romance movies as I watch. I do it because it guides me in life. This movie was also special because of the different ideas that the two main characters share, instead of introducing some crazy story to the plot, all they did was, make the characters talk and talk and share ideas about love, about relationships, about death, about everything. If I could write decimals in my ratings, I would give this movie a 7.5/10. Not a 10 because of how little it made me feel but I still liked it nonetheless and it was indeed special in itself.
One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen in my life and one of my favorites. Everything was perfect, from the characters, to the story, to the ending, it was just amazing. I find that nowadays it is hard to find these kind of beautiful movies that make you cry of joy. I really wish they would start making more of these.
This movie was perfect and amazingly beautiful in all sections, from the story to the visuals and the characters. At many times it was sad but in a good way. The ending was unexpected and the story distinguishes itself from anything else that I have seen in my life. It is my favorite movie of all time. It was the first anime feature film I had ever seen and it makes me want to start watching more anime.
Terrible Movie, Weak Sauce :( the ending was unrealistic and impossible, and the main characters a bunch of idiots, it's as if the writers were afraid of making a movie with too much gore, seriously, at one time they were like 6 against one zombie and they couldn't do shit. And it's not like they don't have the budget, the movie was based on about the same budget that AMC uses for one episode of the walking dead. I seriously don't get what's wrong with the idiots at Rotten Tomatoes who gave it such good reviews giving it a final rating of 93%. I guess I am very disappointed because I watched the Cornetto Trilogy in reverse, I loved The World's End and gave it a 10, and I also loved Hot Fuzz and also gave it a 10.
This movie was amazingly perfect from the beginning to the end. It is my favorite romantic comedy of all time and probably my favorite movie of all time.
