Really enjoyed this. A fun movie. Yes, it's over the top and a bit ridiculous but I liked it.
This is a “b” movie so surprising it even made theaters.
I never thought they could make a 2 hour movie with Emma Stone in multiple sex scene's this bad, but they did.
Worth watching overall, especially for fans of whodunits, despite the usual butchering of Poirot by Branagh who can’t even do a decent French accent. Fey is also terrible reciting her lines like a 5th grader rather than speaking them in a natural way. The rest of the actors do well.
The sets are good and quite lovely for the most part except for being overdone at times.
The plot is thick and unravels nicely which accounts for the decent grade.
I’m curious to see how much they deviated from Christie’s plot on which this is supposedly loosely based.
If Branagh had not so mercilessly slaughtered Orient Express and Nile I would have probably tolerated and liked this one better…
Damn the preview looks cheesy. Am I the only one that’s ODed on super hero movies?
This film got a lot of hate and I'm not sure why. Maybe because it has the same formula as Top Gun, but both were done so well. Does that make Days Of Thunder bad? NO. Hell, all the Star Wars movies used the same formula!
Days Of Thunder didn't try to pretend. The action was on the race track and the story progressed with a good tempo from beginning to end. I won't go into the details as this film should be seen like any other movie... without knowing what you're getting into. Sit back and enjoy every non-CGI moment and and entertaining characters, I'm sure some won't be disappointed.
In my opinion, this is definitely in the top 10 best Fast movies.
The only horror in this movie, was that annoying kid crying all the time.
It was a real 'camp' ride, and I was pleasantly shocked to see Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) with hair, Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens (everything) and Brian Backer (Fast Times at Ridgemont High). Sadly, I was distracted from all the fun by the opening credits which proclaimed loud and boldly that Harvey Weinstein had both written and produced the film, which made me wonder how the young starlets appearing in the film were treated. Also, the 3 scenes where men forced themselves on said starlets were very awkward, as a result.
Ah the things we do for Alexandra Daddario
The premisse os good, but the movie dragged itself for too long, and Jason Segel is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. Oh, and it was so predictable.
Really bad jokes and bad story.
Bri'ish Malcolm and Marie. Artificial, pointless, boring, insufferable. Couldn't finish watching either of them.
The two main characters are overly unlikable to point where you didn't care for them at all, and neither had any redeeming features. Even though during the entire movie they keep complaining, it seemed to me that it was still from an utterly privileged point of view. It's like only other self-pitying, upper middle class Bri'ish families can relate or care about this couple's 'struggles'.
I'm not a fan of the monologue-heavy movies. The fourth wall breaking felt really theatrical, like an hour and a half of a melodramatic, boring high school play between two characters you dislike, hating each other.
What does Artie do during their never-ending arguments?
Who in their right mind would label this movie as comedy?
They still shouldn't be making movies about the pandemic.
I gave it a 5 just cause Thomas Jane is a legend
Nothing spectacular but a good watch nonetheless. More violent than I expected but otherwise a wholesome movie.
Doesn't have the experience points to level up. I couldn't wait to get to the end of this middling thriller. Game over!
Excellent actors in a very boring and depressing movie.
The movie is just kind of stupid a lot of the time.
The rules in this movie change so much, first nobody knows Evan changed, and he can't remember the new world, then the prisoner notices the wounds in his hands appear (which disappear for the rest of the movie), then Evan remembers the changed world, but the new memories don't alter his personality at all.
Also, the father was always lamenting his "family curse" but attempts to have 3 kids. Kind of a silly thing to do.
Also you don't get sent to federal prison as you await a trial, you either wait on bail or (if you are a risk of skipping the trial) in minimum security county jail.
Also, every time Evan goes back in time to fix something, he fucks up the moments he has. Like standing next to the mailbox he knew would blow up, or lighting a bomb that he knows has a 3 second fuse. This isn't "going back always makes things worse", this is going back and making things worse then. Think of how badass the universe would have been that he stopped the bomb from killing the kid, but also didn't needlessly destroy himself.
Also, in the final timeline where he was in the looney bin, why did the doctor dismiss his ideas about different universes, something that shouldn't have been experienced by the Even in the that timeline until just then.
Also why did Even go back to his classroom and draw a picture of a knife murder? Just for consistency? That isn't as important when he stabs himself in the hands seconds later.
All of these complaints are with the script and story, and they are a little nitpicky. Everything else in the movie is ok (actors, visuals, ect). The story is just lacking.
There are two other comments on this page at the time of writing, and I think they are way off the mark. We don't need the context of black struggles, as these should be clear to us by now. This isn't a film about a white saviour, it's about the enlightenment of a man who used to be racist. His story is actually very interesting, and because of the time and the sect he had been a part of, his is a story of courage. So, thank goodness for him, and his realisation of the error of his ways. And thank goodness for Ann Atwater and the resilience she showed against the racism around her.
This is a good film and is worth a watch, and I hope its message of tolerance hits home, especially to those who are prejudiced against another, in whatever way.
I remember watching this film as a child and being truly terrified. Although it looks dated it still sends a shiver up your spine.
Burtonis chilling.
A solid movie with something to say. The characters are well developed. The acting is good. The movie is a little long, like there was one too many things that sidetracked them. Also some of the choices the characters made were questionable.
Okay then... I just don't get the appeal. There are some fairly hilarious scenes, but this just feels like a long episode of a 60s version of Real World on acid with the Manson murders thrown in for good measure.
Last episode with great Sean Lock. #Rip
Am I the only one that thinks this movie f'ing sucks balls. Didn't like this at all
If I had watched this in at the movie theater I would have been Walking Out.
Poor writing and blunt plot, your usual girl stuck in a forest movie, something to watch if you really have nothing else to do.
I really wanted to hate this movie.. But it's just so goddamn awesome! I loved every moment of it. Turn off your brain and enjoy the ride!
"San Andreas" was just as big and stupid as I thought it would be. It reminded me of every other big disaster film of the last decade or so. You know, "The Day After Tomorrow", "2012", "Dante's Peak", that type of deal. But for as corny and predictable as this movie was, I was totally entertained.
Somehow, Dwayne Johnson's character was able to fly around in a rescue helicopter and actually save no one. Well, other than his wife and daughter. Anyone else caught along the entire crumbling California coast was toast, because Dwayne wasn't saving them. But then, who can blame him. He's married to Carla Gugino. I'd take the straightest line possible, too.
I found myself feeling a bit guilty for a moment or two about how much I was getting a charge out of the total carnage. Skyscrapers toppled, the ground split open and swallowed up whole suburbs and neighborhoods. And then to top if all off, look out for the Tsunami! Freighters and battleships were no match for Nature's wrath, as they were washed up over the Golden Gate bridge and into San Francisco, left hanging precariously from shattered buildings.
But Mother Nature herself was no match for The Rock. Anything in his way. Anything falling from above or falling out from under him was merely delaying his inevitable success in saving his family. It had me in stitches. I was laughing and shouting, "Hell Yeah, Dwayne!!!"
You could put Jodie Foster, Sofia Boutella, Jenny Slate and Zachary Quinto in an empty room for 2 hours doing nothing and I would watch it. Oh, wait...
But seriously, Hotel Artemis isn't a bad film though it tries very hard to be. The actors and decor are sublime and the directing is on point. Sadly, the film suffers from a lack of a plot. Sure, there are minor story arcs that are all wrapped up nicely by the end of the film, but there is no main storyline with a villain to defeat and challenges to overcome. The closest we get is Jeff Goldblum, but he's only on screen long enough to make us wonder why he's getting top billing for a cameo.
Hotel Artemis could've been worse if it had tried, but it also could've been so much better.
