I'm torn on this one. On one side I really like that they just tried to make an entertaining movie. On the other side, it's just too bloated and mostly just stupid. But still watchable. I just wish they used the dog more. The dog just stole the show.
Really enjoyed this one. The visuals look great, music was perfect including the sound effects. The story is good, and you will root for the characters (that even change and progress as the story goes). Godzilla is scary and menacing. I can't think of anything I did not like. Can't wait for a streaming release to see it again.
Would make for a decent Twilight zone episode if it was cut to half the length. I really liked that they just quickly got to the point, but then they completely killed the pace but pointless flashbacks that did not add to the story at all. Also, no real surprise at the end . Not bad, but nothing really special here.
A solid movie, but felt so generic. Like I have seen it before without seeing it.
A fun, entertaining, superhero movie made for adults and not crying Twitter babies? Did I wake up in the twilight zone? It's hard to believe it after all the trash movies that came out this year. DC is on a roll recently, and I hope they will continue like this.
Just another disappointment. If they have money to spend on the CGI and the good actors, why don't they spend some of it on a good writer? But looks like a story no longer sells a movie. This felt like it was written by someone who heard about Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribean (just heard, not seen) and they tried to make something similar. And failed at it. Not even Dwayne can save this mess.
If Holywood will continue like this, there will be no point at all even to bother watching anything that comes from there. Trash upon trash with more trash on top. Really sad.
Not enough Cage, just not enough Cage. And just too much Awkwafina. To me, she sounds like nails on a blackboard. Just horrible.
Overall, few funny moments, some nice action, and a predictable story. Hoult plays basically the same character as in Warm Bodies here. If they had the courage and let Dracula win for a change, would at least made for a nice surprise
Who's gonna tell the kid that he is adopted? No way he can be a child of those two idiots.
Butler and Huss are just great. If they are not in a scene, you can just skip it.
I hate how they kept it mostly realistic the whole movie, and then had to have a "superhero" character at the end. Spoiled the ending for me. Could have been done much better
This was painful to watch, I felt like my brain is slowly dying while watching this. The 1 from 10 is still too generous of a rating.
Just disappointing. The movie could have been quite ok, but does really every character need to be just trash? All of them? Really makes it hard to care if they live or not
An OK movie, but not really scary, or even original. Scary noise in dark woods is something you can see in so many movies. It just shows the laziness to think about something new, that they would even have to explain. Like this, it's just random noises. Thats it. Yeah, really scary :face_with_raised_eyebrow:. There was a moment when I thought it would get better. When they find the extra person. I though they will show us the scenes again, with that extra person. It's not new, but can be done well. But no, it is just another thing that goes nowhere.
Boring, bloated, and just bad. Apparently, the book this was adapted from is better and completely different. Will try that instead.
I keep coming back to this one. I so wish I could watch this one again without knowing the ending. Really nice suspense, action and surprise at the end . Too bad the part 2 is not as good.
A very decent psychological thriller. Not really a horror. Keeps you guessing and even tries to tackle some heavier themes. Went in a bit different direction than I though after seeing the trailer, but that can be seen as a positive, as it's not that predictable. Overall another good one from Takashi Miike.
I saw a billboard for this movie, claiming how scary it is. And scary it was. Scary how bored I was for the whole two hours.
But to be fair. The movie is well done. Some good actors, decent acting, and the directing was fine. It's not a bad movie technically. It's just so boring. You can have a stretched out movie, but you have to captivate the viewer at least a bit, to justify that runtime (think of the movie The Wailing or Svaha, which are btw. both much much better than this one). There is nothing here like that.
I could not even finish this in one go. If you are interested in seeing J.Lo arguing with Siri for about two hours, this movie is definitively for you. Bad acting, writing, effects, story, and almost all. This is content, not a movie.
Maybe I'm just too old for this kind of movie. Where I loved Godzilla Minus One, I was mostly bored here. Maybe if I was 12. Thats about where the target audience for this is. Some cool fights and effects, but nothing with any substance here.
Still as fun as the original TV show. And such a big tease for a second season. I hope it comes soon.
So many great actors, such a mediocre story. A real shame.
So good to see more Japanese movies in cinemas in Europe. Finally a reason to go again. By coincidence I went to a 4DX screening and boy, it was a lot of fun. Maybe too stretched in the beginning, as I think they tried to make it also for those who don't know the anime, but once it gets going, it is a rollercoaster ride (and in a 4DX theater, it was one, literally :) ). Anya just steals the show in every scene she is in. There are a few things that could have been developed more, but this is not James Bond, so I did not expect that anyway.
I watched this and The Cleansing Hour back to back. And, I think I enjoyed The Cleansing Hour probably more. While the premise is similar, that movie goes more to the point, while the buildup in this one feels just to slow. Still, not a bad horror. Once it gets going it's really good.
It was ok. Nothing new, nothing original, but few funny moments. Overall watchable, if yo don't expect too much.
Don't watch this if you have not seen the first one recently. You will miss too much. I just watched back to back both, and loved it. Great story, characters, action, martial arts, everything. This is easily better than all recent Marvel and DC movies combined.
There are a few funny moments, but overall its nothing special. It's even worse, when you take into account, that this is already a remake that changed very little.
Another great example, that while Apple can have all the money in the world, they can't create anything. Was Jobs really the only person there that had any taste?
While this started ok, it quickly became unwatchable, stupid story and stupid characters. Not sure what happened to Bryce, but she starts to look like the Michelin man. Have you noticed that none of the male spies were obese? I wonder why.
The TV show is much better.
While overall I enjoyed the movie, and the whole premise was interesting, in the end it felt more like a waste of time. Like you are going somewhere and everyone keeps telling you that you will see something cool at the end. And when you get to your destination, there is just nothing there.
This movie is like 50/50. 50% great, 50% complete trash.
The movie on its own is not bad, but the acting just drags it so down that it's hard to take seriously.
