Tatiana Maslany is so underrated, what a brilliant actress.
This movie stressed me the fuck out.
A proper send-off for Daniel Craig, he did much for the franchise. One of the better Bond-films for sure, there's lots to like here. The acting is great, music fantastic and obviously the action is riveting. Even at 163 minutes, it does not drag - and even though I wanted more, the ending was perfect. It's exciting to discuss who will become the next Bond, but let's enjoy this ride first and let it sink in.
Its gonzo John Wick. I loved it.
Absurd, campy, over the top in every direction, and yet it pulls it all together. Some people might think it's a poor clone of Wick or the 80s/90s action cinema it tributes, but it was just fun. As long as it executes it well, no complaints from me.
This is Statham at some of his finest
I've seen worse. But it's not good, and it doesn't remotely resemble the source material. It's a PG-13 comfortably dumb movie and it suffers from its shackles. Carnage is hammy and goofy rather than sadistic and maniacal. Not recommended.
Netflix really perfected the high budget yet low budget boring but just watchable action movie.
The visuals and the message -anticolonialism, protection of nature, sovereignty of indigenous people- are great, but the plot is just bad: poor, repetitive, with many clichés, very predictable... Much worst than the first, I couldn't connect. But it's arguably worth it to see it in 3D just for the visuals.
It’s a lot like the first one.
It’s kinda trashy and childish, and it’ll probably make you cringe at least a few times, but it can’t help to be fun occasionally.
Tom Hardy clearly enjoyed himself making it, Woody Harrelson is fine.
The action is alright, but the production value is awful, the whole visual look is dated and cheap.
Like, this was shot by Quentin Tarantino’s DP, but you’ll never be able to tell that because of the production choices made by Sony.
The plot itself is very thin, uninspired and mostly forgettable.
Everything about it is extremely disposable, and the whole thing just screams ‘streaming movie’ to me.
You really don’t need to waste your money on this by watching it on a premium format.
4/10
If you like watch the other action movies that Jason Statham is in you'll probably like this one. He is in his prime. After a friend kills herself he basically kills his way to the top for the remainder of the movie. Some of his methods for getting rid of bad guys were pretty dang awesome and involved some methods I've never seen before. Which was cool.
Was it completely unrealistic? Yes. Was it fun to sit back, munch on some popcorn and watch Statham do his thing? Oh hell yeah
Clearly destined to be an underrated, under appreciated masterpiece by Lisa Joy, who clearly understands film noir better than most directors working today.
This should be required viewing for every citizen of Russia right now, even though many will disregard it all as fake.
I hate it when the hero dies.
An entertaining movie with a bad ending. Not bad at all, it's just that a much-feared mind gets defeated so easily... And Foxx should take care of some details. It's fair an attorney can walk as a rapper but loses some credibility.
An intriguing concept, but the plotting is a bit of a jumble. Strives for greater significance, but ends up being an average thriller with some cold and sleek visuals.
[Sheffield '23] Although it may raise the debate on the limits of explicit images of war, especially in relation to childhood, this documentary doesn't feel like a sensationalist film but rather an honest reflection of the reality of the chaos experienced by the city of Mariupol, reduced to rubble in just two months. A journalistic work that tries to dismantle the accusations of propaganda (including staging with actors) made by Russia, but which is not reduced to 20 days after the first bombings, but rather reflects the reality of Ukraine today.
Icarus played a little trick on me. It made me think in was one of those daft wee 'how much can I fuck up my body' docs when really it was a massively tense international sport/politics conspiracy with added old-man nipples.
The film doesn’t take itself nearly as seriously as either The Gentleman or Wrath of Man, and that’s a good thing. Henry Cavill is in rare form and the supporting cast of Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Alex Pettyfer, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin deliver strong performances.
I love the interplay between Babs Olusanmokun and Eiza Gonzalez, especially her flirtations with the German leader.
The soundtrack was on point too.
Story was a bit lacking and you pretty much know how it's going to end, but I didn't care as I had a ton of fun with this film.
Tatiana's acting so mind blowing i can't even explain how excited it makes me feel.
Tatiana is out of this world.
wow this is just crazy how the world just react to the scandal it's like the world is either so corrupt or so numb it doesn't matter no more
If you like true blind justice...this is your movie Love it
I really enjoyed the movie, the acting was great, camera work was good, and overall it was good. I do understand people saying it doesn't have any suspension, but I do like it that way, a story telling easy movie to watch. Casting was amazing with a lot of guest stars, which I liked so much.
If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed movie, you'd better skip it. Often it's only people who really do not stare at anything.
Still, not a horrible movie. I can imagine a lot of governments wanting to implement this kind of technology. And I can actually see that this happens sometime in the future. I liked the look of the movie. Cold, dark colors that create a dull and gloomy atmosphere. And the old cars are actually working well in the future.
However, I would have liked that one goes even further into the negative aspects of this technology. This is only treated superficially. But I think that was not the main focus.
It's basically a relative simple crime thriller in a futuristic environment ..
Climate change Max Payne; Reminiscence has all the trappings of a modern neo-noir mystery with a Blade Runner aesthetic and a cakey, corny romance to boot. Many seem to struggle with the slow, somewhat bloated introduction, but after the stage is set and the breadcrumbs start getting laid down, this becomes a decent mystery thriller with a well told story and a satisfying conclusion. Just be sure you can stomach the corny dialogue between Jackman and Ferguson; it's thick and extensive, singlehandedly bringing this down from an 8 to a 7 for me, but that might be because I don't enjoy that trope of noir movies at the best of times. I really did love the aesthetic and world building though, the cities flooded with Venice-style transport between districts, the literal divide now present between the classes, the neon signs and lights. Lovely stuff, just not enough to wash away all the cheese.
I do not understand why this movie is being so universally panned. I loved everything about it, even if it's not the most unique story of all time. I felt like the casting was absolutely perfect. Rebecca Ferguson took my breath away almost every single second she was on screen. Hugh Jackman effectively portrayed an intelligent technologist and expert who betrays his own instincts about the capabilities and consequences of the technology. The music was awesome, especially Rebecca's singing and the way that it is eventually woven into the plot. The noir-like overlay of the narration was awesome. The environment was unique, intriguing, and believable. The slow-rolling unravelling of the mystery seemed to be perfectly paced for me. I was so busy taking in all of the details of each scene that it never really felt slow to me in the way that others are criticizing it for.
I loved this movie.
Like a vest in a 3-piece suit, sure it's not trendy right now but that doesn't mean it can't be cool.
David O Russell delivers a film in a classic Hollywood vein, where a mad doctor and a black lawyer in 1930s New York stumble on a plot to overthrow the US government.
Like a cross between The Hudsucker Proxy and Nightmare Alley, the strong cast (there's only one actor I have difficulty with), true-ish story and flawless directing make for a solid theatrical outing.
The director Petr Jákl was reportedly inspired by the 1995 film Braveheart, which celebrates the personality of Scottish warrior William Wallace.
However, the resulting film lacks atmosphere and, above all, a comprehensible story that would appeal to audiences at home and abroad.
We will have to wait many years for a successful remake of The Warrior Jan Žižka. A big disappointment, rating 2 stars for the cast.
Avatar, The Way of Water is a visual and technical masterpiece with some great action sequences; unfortunately, it is also lazily written and an all-too-familiar movie. Cameron had a unique position to make a deserving sequel, but unfortunately chose to create a safe and lazily written remake with an undeservedly prolonged runtime.
What initially appears to be a retelling of Pixar's Up turns into something very different, quite amusing, and heartwarming to boot.
The film is, of course, another showcase for Tom Hanks to show off his wide range of talents, and he inhabits the role of the eponymous, cantankerous grump very well. But besides him, the entire cast of different and well-written characters put in strong performances all round, particularly Mariana Treviño.
Although the story could have easily settled for being another one about overcoming grief, what makes Otto stand out is its celebration of caring, compassion and kindness to and from strangers.
