Metal first, girls later!
That was one fucking entertaining trip with a \m/ soundtrack. Highly recommended, not only to the "metalheads" tbh. :D
Entertaining romp. Prolly not Miike's best, but anyway, well worth a watch. Becky kinda stole the show, not gonna lie. :D
Look. If you can ignore some of the Chinese propaganda (honestly, we've seen this for 50 years from the Americans now, why are the Chinese not allowed to do the same?) and some of Chinas ulterior motives in the south china sea, then you are getting a fucking insane non-stop 2 hour+ action galore here. Operation Mekong was pretty crazy already but THIS is next level. Considering some of the garbage from china I've seen in the last year, this is WAY above all of that. Fantastic production values, a good FX budget and some crazy on-location shot's in Morocco that you simply have not seen in anything from China yet. Also the gore and mutilation in this was something I absolutely did not expect.
So yeah, watch if for the non-stop action and have a good time!
Almost got a sore throat from laughing too much, help!
One of the best comedy specials I've seen since Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King.
"Und wenn diese kerze ausgeht?"
Not sure what else to say here, quite the heartbreaking story acted out by some pretty good actors and sprinkled with an interesting soundtrack choice. Also Apinya Sakuljaroensuk certainly is a sight to behold.
If you value your time in any way, don't make the same mistake that I did and waste it on this hackjob. The story sounded interesting or at least fun but the execution was so bad... The movie could've used at least another month in post-production, some of the editing is bafflingly bad, not even talking about the laughable CGI or the terrible sound design.
Avoid!
I really should't be surprised by russian movies at this point any more, should I? Seen quite a few impressive movies recently and this here is no different. Sure, the story may be generic but also very entertaining and cute! And some scenes in this were just pretty damn amazingly shot... the musical sequences alone, damn. Give this one a shot if you want a real-life Disneyesque experience with a russian spin!
I mean, for a b-movie that was pretty ok. Could've done with a bit more Mariko Shinoda screentime tho. :3
Kinda disappointing, guess I expected more because they had a Korean director? Not sure, it's just your usual Chinese garbage tho. :/
What a cast! And what a tragically funny story. Highly enjoyed that and to think who's careers all got kick-started by that paper... pretty amazing.
Maaaaaaaaaaan that was terrible, I ALMOST feel bad for enjoying it that much. :D
(Kaity Nguyên is one god damn cutiepie)
Never get between a woman and her hairdresser!!!!
wow, this was incredible. A beautiful little story masterfully told in probably the best VR short story experience around right now.
Maaaan what a well done movie. It may be no Gravity and it might be an over-dramatisation of what happened to Salyut 7 but still! Production wise this is right up there and if anything it at least might make you read up on the Salyut and Soyuz (esp. Soyuz 11) programs. Good stuff!
Man I really don't know what to say about this. Had some strong ideas but was bogged down by some weird editing and some things I just can't put my finger on. As HarboeJacob said, this as a series? Sign me up. Flesh that shit out some more and get it rolling. Maybe that was just Netflix testing the waters? If the movie is successful enough there might be a show in this, I'd be watching that, doesn't even need to have Smith in it tbh.
Might've been a bit too long, gone a bit too overboard with the fictional part of the story but daaamn those were some pretty crazy final 20 minutes.
That, was actually pretty good.
Certainly a well done adaptation of an interesting book.
Extra kudos for having (almost?) the entire Somali cast consist of ACTUAL Somalis, most of them refugees.
Well DAMN, I did not expect that. That ranks pretty high up there among my favourite movies of the year. :D
Fantastic stuff, well acted with a lot of heart, many laughs and your usual korean dose of action and drama. Highly recommended!
I guess I should've seen that twist coming but I did not and... damn! That was pretty good and surprising, it felt a bit like a Korean mix of Wakefield and The Sixth Sense. ;D
What a beautifully unique movie.
Man... how took it Park Kwang-hyun 12 years to finally direct a movie again after Welcome to Dongmakgol?! It's been way too long and I sincerely hope it won't take another 12 years till the next one.
This one here certainly had some potential. Great soundtrack, some interesting ideas and action sequences, the weird tonal shift's I'm used to at this point by korean movies... not too bad, certainly some entertaining two hours.
"Why do you have to be such a fucking little prick all the time man?"
That pretty much sums up the movie for me. Not entirely sure why everyone seems to enjoy this movie, I fucking hated the guts of pretty much every character in it, esp. Connie. What a piece of shit. It was completely over when he started creeping on the 16 yo girl and tried to statutory rape her... no redeeming quality's in this, at all.
Nothing particularly good about the movie, story or anything else, either - soundtrack was kinda ok I guess.
Can't say I had a particularly "good time" with this.
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.
Wow, what a surreal movie. Certainly something only the Korean's can pull off....
IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS EVEN PARTIALLY A COMEDY!
But yeah... can't remember the last time a movie made me this sad... and happy? I don't know. I just know I cried a lot and that this movie certainly is something special.
There's a turtle with a candle on it!
...what a silly movie, haha. Oh and Kate Micucci boobies! Never expected to see those!
To say this was heartbreaking would be quite the understatement...
Man, Saxana was such a stylish cutie for 1970's eastern block!
I kinda seriously disliked that ending but besides that, well acted uniqueish movie.
Watched it mostly because of Hanna Simone and it was kinda worth it for at least that. Everything else was pretty terrible tho.
