One of the best solo MCU movies in a while. I went into this not knowing the story at all. I was highly entertained and not lost at all. Definitely worth the $12 at the theater!
The action sequences were solid, particularly the martial arts, and the casting and acting were also fine but the script is a mess, the pacing is off, and the second half feels goofy and disjointed from the first half. The second half action was difficult to follow and felt like a DC cluster f--- aimed at the Chinese market. HOWEVER, I am looking forward to seeing Shang-Chi utilized in the future films.
Soul is another triumph for Pixar

Funny, Emotional and Fullfilling
Kingsman: The Golden Circle can't compete with the original, but it still gives us a bold, action-packed and fun spy movie. The visuals are spectacular and so are the performances, with a great cameo from the fabulous Elton John.
Awful writing, terrible acting, boring played-out story. I will say the cinematography and camera work was well done and made the movie finish-able. But trust me, I couldn't wait til it ended. There was no suspense, they didn't develop scares, and for a gory film..... it could've used more creative gore. A waste of time, unfortunately. I'm not sure what the people giving this movie good reviews are measuring this against, Sharknado?
As good as the first film? No, not really, but then sequels rarely are. It was big and bold, but the story was a little weak. However, the movie is still very entertaining in parts, and while I perhaps wanted a little more plausibility, it may be that I had unrealistic expectations for a film of this sort. Great action, a delicious turn from Julianne Moore, a rocking soundtrack, and a mincing turn from Keith Allen (what, you expected me to say Elton?), made this a film I will go back to. So not as fresh or as funny as the original, but it could have been a lot worse. And remember, before you have a go at me for giving it a lower rating than others, manners maketh the man!
After number two I thought the traps went a little faulty, didn't think they'd be fixed, but the saw franchise has made a come back, the rust has been removed, the traps are set again, the games have got better and pieces of the Jigsaw have been found. It's action, cast, story plot and twists are winning the game. If you think you've predict the ending like I did then think again because your In the game too. What's your confession?
I loved the movie from 2013 but that movie was pretty boring. The first 5 to 10 minutes was a introduction to the characters (who are all great) but the rest of the movie was just a long boring fight/escape against/from the evil spirit.
The whole fight against the evil, what was around 95 % of the movie should have been the final 10 to 15 minutes, but not the full movie.
I liked the characters and the special effects were great. But I will rewatch the movie from 2013 again, but it was the first and last time I watched that movie.
Really captured the boredom of lockdowns.
Needed more Channing Tatum. Fine enough, otherwise.
Harmless movie loses its way when it veers off the hiking trail.
It was a fun movie, not the best thing ever but yeah, you get what you expect
The ending was kinda sh*it though
If you love (american) football, you'll love this movie!
Kevin Costner plays an upstanding member of the community, avid potter and caring father who happens to moonlight as a schizophrenic serial killer. Costner is fine in the role but Demi Moore, who surfaces as the tomboy detective on his trail, is badly miscast. She's presented as a grizzled veteran of the force with several shades of action hero, but when we see the character in motion it's an awkward, stiff, uncomfortable exercise. Dane Cook is bafflingly tossed into the mix, too, as a wannabe killer who blackmails his way into private lessons with the master. The curious decision to take a serious role does him no favors.
There's some promise to the concept, but the script simply doesn't trust its viewers to work things out for themselves and delights in presenting, then abandoning, boatloads of trivial plot threads. Clearly written with a franchise in mind, it saves too much meat for later installments, which leaves this first chapter feeling thin and watered-down. Hammy, forced and predictable, with a fistful of groan-worthy clichés, it's akin to a bad season of Dexter.
An amazing movie, and a masterclass in storytelling and existentialism without beating you over the head with it.
