Although nearly nothing happens, 24 min flew ayway. Seems like they put the whole money & time of the season in the animations of this last episode. Very well executed.
Random person: "Do you always get teary eyed on Snapes death scene ?"
Me: "Always..."
Well, well, well. Why, is this an Amish production of The Count of Monte Cristo or just the weirdest circle jerk I've been invited to?
Unlike many, I went into the theater to see this movie with no primer. The only message I got from this movie was "God does not like child sex trafficking and we should do something about it", and I still don't know what this movie was trying to say other than that, because quite frankly, I don't care. I've heard the lead actor Jim Caviezel is connected to the whole QAnon conspiracy craze, and I feel like that's the only reason he felt the need to add the post-credit ticket mutual aid section to the film, because while it's important to understand the importance of issues like child sex trafficking, I do not understand why else the American political right-wing would latch onto this movie other than if there was some hint in the movie they agreed with that just I didn't get that was connected to the right wing media's obsession with covering this movie and supporting it. My father made me go see it before I left home for college. That's the only reason I went to see it. It's an okay movie, but I wouldn't give it a score any higher than a 5/10.
how could a film that bases an entire storyline around a Ratatouille joke not be absolutely fantastic?
I'm sorry but I really didn't enjoy this movie. The acting was alright but not enough to carry the movie by itself. The plot was straightforward and never made me care for any of the characters, it felt like everything was glossed over. Not a single relationship, be it between rivals, couples or family members made me feel anything, to the point that I even forgot that some characters existed in this movie until they were shown for another brief period. The plot shows you events (serial killer for example), but never expands on it, so it feels like it was tacked on and could have been cut to make the movie shorter. Speaking about length, the 3 hours runtime is really too long, and it hampered my enjoyment of this movie even more, because it started feeling like a slog halfway through.
I think that the movie didn't pique my interest with any unique features, the plot, acting and cinematography were all okay, but prolonged over a 3 hour period made me dread the time I spent watching the movie.
Most depressing Zombie-Movie I've ever seen, nonetheless a first-class ride
Fun fact: The names Frieren, Himmel, Stark, Fern, Eisen, Heitel, and Flamme are words taken from the Scandi and Germanic languages (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and German) which represents their character's traits.
E.g., Fri(eren) is loosely translated as "The Free" or "The Frozen" in German, Himmel is "The Sky", Stark (or Stærk) is "The Strong", Flamme is "The Flame", Eisen is "The Iron", Heitel is "The Cheerful", and Fern can be translated as "The Detached" or Remote.
2 hours in and nobody's been terrorized by a giant insect... Honey... I shrunk the Trakt score
I see people complaining this show is too “woke.” I think it is great. I’m liking even more than The Boys.
I'm always amazed that the anti woke people don't realise The Boys is making fun of them
The source material for this must’ve been incredible. The plot, the allegory, the characters, and everything about the story was so perfectly orchestrated. Even when I could predict certain plot twists, it still felt as if the release was good. I started to truly empathize with the characters and the aftershock of each death or character development in the series felt truly important. Gesicht was incredible throughout, and I really loved Epsilon’s character too, although I would’ve loved more development for his character.
The animation and music here just tied the whole package together. There was a lot of slow burn and tension building throughout the series.
Such an amazing adaptation that you can tell gives attention and care to the source material and animation. This was such a great watch considering I binged the entire thing, and it truly was a rollercoaster with the amount of twists and turns. Highly recommend this to anyone, even people who may not be fans of animation because this is really a classic.
Prometheus was good and curious. Covenant was absurdly stupid. Good mysterious questions built up through decades do not need stupid answers.
My fav movie. "It's game over man, it's game over"
No one listened to the smart woman, everyone dies except the smart woman and her cat. 9 out of 10
It’s often daunting to come to a classic film and try to explain why it works so well. Obvious elements spring to mind - the peerless design work, both of the central creature and the sets themselves; the beautifully haunting score; the creation of one of the greatest female action heroes; the perfect pace of the film (slightly spoilt by the Director’s Cut, but the original edit still shines); the “birth” of the creature that may have lost its ability to surprise over time, but still horrifies largely down to the performances that sell this moment so well; the masterful build-up of tension as each character confronts their fate. But, more importantly, this is simply a story that is well told and a reminder of how powerful an experience film can be when all the elements come together so perfectly. Is it any wonder that Alien has been oft-imitated, parodied and copied, but rarely bettered, if at all?
Absolutely hilarious people griping about "woke themes" - you know The Boys is also extremely woke, right??? It's a nonstop critique of fascism, U.S. imperialism, patriarchy, capitalism, and every other power structure that exists. So...yeah.
Anyway...Gen V fucking rocks and I am so excited to see what's next and where they go with everything. It's everything I would have wanted from a spin-off with a younger cast. I'm obsessed with this universe!
First episode rocked. I couldn't be happier about a season based on The Boyz.
Loved the characters and the kids playing them, it's a new generation of actors. Loving the story arch so far. Can't wait for the next episodes.
Damn the preview looks cheesy. Am I the only one that’s ODed on super hero movies?
Even though this anime has those same old cliches, It was quite interesting. Character anime was good and some of the scenes were very cute. Action part was king of OKAY though.
Worst part was, they didn't adapted the entire Manga or Light Novel, have to read those to complete the story.
Predictable plot, has some nicely done jumpscares. Saw it in the cinema but this would be better at night home alone instead of the snickering fools in the cinemaroom destroying any carefully built tension so my advice is to wait for the Blu-Ray.
Whiplash was so damn intense. The movie sounds fantastic; the music, the sound mixing, it's all really, really well-done. The acting was all really good and J.K. Simmons' performance in particular is insane(ly good), definitely a contender for Best Supporting Actor. Occasionally he reminded me of a conductor at my high school who got pretty mad at times, but fortunately not quite as much. The editing was nicely done as well, some of the cuts were timed with the music being played which worked really well and made musical performances interesting to watch. The plot's pretty simple but the story manages to not be very predictable and it's certainly very energetic. The climax was incredible. Second best movie of the year so far.
Be warned: this show has straight relationships. There's actually men and women who love each other, I can't believe they are pushing this agenda. Can't we just keep politics out of these shows?
Just back from a secret screening of this and it had no business being so good.
Better and more fun than most of the recent Marvel movies!
While I did not enjoy the movie (the song and dance numbers were particularly terrible), I found myself fond of the characters... it's a nice concept, I agree, just not very well executed.
That ending was so sad what the hell. I would've loved to see Mike and Louis work together
A lovely, laid-back episode, my fave of the season so far. And Colin's talk with Trent kinda wreck me good. "I have an ache... an ache for both my lives to be my only life. And I know we can’t fix every ache inside of us. But I shouldn’t have to pretend it’s not there either."
