Soooo lame. Several poor script choices make this movie predictable, forgettable, and even bad. There is no chemistry between them. The plot is so idiotic. And to think it was based on a book is funny, like, you needed a book to create this? I mean, any literature undergrad could have made this and better, maybe.
Bran: I can never be Lord of Winterfell, I can never be Lord of anything, I'm the Three-eyed Raven.
Also Bran: I'm the King.
Don’t watch this in theaters if there’s a chance of your friends saying a word.
An incredible technical achievement. Roger Deakins's cinematography elevates this decent war story to something that is one of a kind. There is hardly anytime to catch your breath. The score is fantastic. I need to see the making of documentary.
Seeing this again it is still very impressive. The story is fine but the way we are always with Schofield and Blake with almost no relief makes this super tense. The score really is great.
I really love this movie. You can feel the Mexican magic every minute. Thank you Pixar for this gorgeous movie!
Secrets of Dumbledore improves on its weaker predessesor with a more nuanced Grindlewald performance from Mads Mikklesen, as well as a more focused narrative. There are some interesting set pieces here, as well as some surprisingly funny moments and some creative uses of magic that will entertain fans of the series. Unfortunately, it still suffers the faults of a directionless series that should never have extended beyond a single movie. Characters are left woefully undeveloped and plot developments from previous movies are brushed aside, although perhaps for the better. While it is a passable movie, it is unfortunately much too small a step in the right direction for a doomed series.
What a mess of an episode. It was all over the place.
Mulan mixes the original story with Kung-Fu fantasy and it works. Definitely beats Disney just making another live action scene for scene musical remake.
Which doesn’t leave you thinking you just watched the same exact movie again. Like the Lion King.
Hee Kyung stealing the show with only three scenes!
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Nope’:
I kept waiting, and waiting, for this film to get good. For the moment when things kick into high gear and it earns that price of admission. For me, it never got there. It always teetered on the edge of something fun and edge-of-your-seat… but it remained uneventful despite its seemingly-momentous scenes.
The pacing was all sorts of wonky. It felt like there were a lot of disconnects here, a lot of questions. Scenes that went on too long. Unrealistic character reactions and decisions. My scalp is sore from all the head scratching. I just wish this were a more structured story with all the ideas it contained.
Great cast, but the character of OJ was incredibly bland and emotionally flat. A more compelling lead character may have risen this film above all its flaws.
Bonus Thought: What was the significance of the mysterious balancing shoe?
Chaotic bisexual "twins" from different universes is exactly the kind of time shenanigans I never knew I needed in my life.
This was such a good movie that I'll probably watch it again when it gets closer to Christmas. Feels like an instant Christmas classic!
This movie was painfully boring, and didn't contain a single likeable character. It was like watching a whiney CW teen drama. What wasn't boring, was borderline nonsensical.
Don't waste your time with this one, especially if you are a fan of the previous x-men movies.
It's fine but not as good as the first. There are not memorable songs like Let It Go. The story is ok. The animation looks great. Kids will love this too but adults will probably be bored.
Good movie, i just don’t understand that they all just enter that room. I would have called the police and burned the place :joy:
That junkie bitch Trish, god I hate her so much in this season. Annoying little rat. I hope to god she doesn’t get super powers cuz then we won’t hear the end of her self righteous shit.
This is mostly stuck in second gear for the entire runtime, it’s very bland and poorly directed. Interestingly, despite having a different director at the helm a lot of the problems from X-Men Apocalypse carry over. There’s once again visible cheapness in the costumes and make-up, Lawrence phones it in, Sophie Turner can’t pull off what she’s asked to do and the story feels muddled. The new elements it adds on top of that don’t really work either, for example Jessica Chastain gives the most lifeless performance of her career as the villain of this film. Generally, it just looks and feels like a cheap tv show, Kinberg clearly wasn’t ready for this. Due to it’s smaller scale it never becomes as schlocky as the worst moments in Apocalypse, X-Men Origins Wolverine or The Last Stand, but this movie feels unambitious next to all of those films. I’d be fine with the approach if it had genuine good writing and interesting direction, but what’s being served here is not cerebral, emotional or exciting.
3.5/10
this movie was worse than the first one
This is one of the best Christmas movies I've watched in a long time! :christmas_tree:
A funny and touching adventure that you must watch during the holiday season! Whether it's with your kids or your significant other, one thing is for sure: You will love it! :two_hearts:
I mean... Sort of wasted my time here but a bitch’s gotta watch at least some 2020 releases.. no, seriously, the performances are pretty good, but that’s about it. boring story with nothing but absolute misery.
I'm completely hypnotized by and in love with this show.
In addition to being visually pleasing, with every detail, from costumes to scenery, carefully taken into consideration, it's also shaking us up on the inside. Its "between the lines" messages, and wonderful acting from the entire cast that delivers so many emotions in their facial expressions alone, are all sublime.
I find myself looking forward to weekends and waiting in anticipation for what is to come. Great job everyone, and much love. <3
After treating Karev like crap, now it’s the turn of DeLuca who’s getting completely destroyed. I can’t believe that Schmitt became the only somewhat interesting character in this show - despite the fact that all his “gay” storylines are stereotypical.
Can Grey’s Anatomy hires writers who do not despise male characters?
Not a high budget film, but it’s got a great and imaginative storyline.
Although we’ve seen things similar to this, it took a cool different approach.
Dubbed on Netflix and well done too.
Really enjoyed it.
Wow, that was really horrible! The title should have been "300: More 3D Blood... Lots more." Even glancing blows across plate armor produced gigantic torrents of blurry red goo, and not a single drop fell on the attacker. They would have been covered in gore from head to toe. Really silly and distracting.
Side plots of characters I'm so not interested in...Also Teddy is bi? I just don't see it.
Over the years Oliver Stone has not only written and directed great films (Scarface, Wall Street, Midnight Express, Platoon, JFK) and others..but he's also been part of a few bad films that never really got to the point of realism and viewer/character connection. (Natural Born Killers, U-Turn). "Savages" falls right in between as Oliver Stone takes a real headline topic of the Mexican Cartels and turns it to a silly and unrealistic movie that really can't be taken seriously. The film is full of international and local known actors, but their performances are not their best. The story feels predictable from start to finish while Blake Lively's narration of the story feels stupid and unnecessary. The movie is not super bad, but is not good either..a fair rating is the most this film can get.
First half was gold, second half I'm not gonna lie has manny fillers and the plot wasn't as smooth as a tought it will be, I found myself laughing with Hyesun's acting but the rest of characters were kind of a meh, Byeong In was underrated and became relevant for the plot only to wrap up things wich was kinda off.
Still a good watch, by any means I could rate this with less than 8, technically was flawless, from sound to setting was the best of the best.
Imagine if Jang Bong Hwan wouldn't be on a vegetative state we could have a second season with the queen on his body in an actual time.
Bah, very dull movie. Waste of time.
Buck definitely needed that closure and in some way Abby did too. That train wreck though was pretty gruesome, but at least none of the main characters died or anything.
I wonder what May talked with Maddie in the party, it seemed very important and Athena must have no idea. Maybe May is asking Maddie to talk to Athena about the assault and how to handle it as Maddie has gone through with something similar in the past.
So happy for soon to be parents, Maddie and Chimney!!
Can't wait for season 4, although this ending had some loose ends it definitely seemed like a series finale than a season finale.
Oh well, all is well that ends well.
