Such a bad movie! What a waste of time.
that's how this movie left me, (brain) damaged
Can't believe this is a work of Ohba Tsugumi, writer of Death Note. It was very disappointing.
This anime was entertaining up to Metropoliman's arc but after that the entire plot felt like an unnecessary stretch. Even the ending was stupid. It started off with all that negativity that the second half almost felt like a "Slice of Life".
I'll only recommend this to someone if they've nothing better to watch.
Don't do this to me. I have to know who got sucked off.
Great start looking forward to more twists and turns.
Epic!! one of the best movies in recent years i loved this & own the bluray.
I don't know you, but the part where the ex-wife was not actually the ex-wife but a hired pro on a long con was so very satisfying
so great to see tina shine! she deserves it anf her character development so far has been amazing. i love carm and want him to be happy, but i can't get behind the way he's leaving sydney alone
Only after the episode ended did I have time to stop and have the realization that there were no cuts once you were in the restaurant.
This was terrible. This has nothing to do w/ the fact that it's a remake of a beloved movie. It's awful as a stand-alone film. There isn't a single thing funny about this "comedy," and the story is pathetic. The least they could've done was to write an actual script instead of whatever this was supposed to be.
Damn, they choose the worst players / actors ever, even Shaq acted better.
What a terrible episode. One of the worst casts I have ever seen. Was a huge struggle to get thru this garbage.
What a terrible way to send off Luca. Killed by a random nobody out of nowhere. Why bother bringing him back just to kill him off like that?
Whilst an enjoyable episode, this just emphasised how ridiculous the American mentality is at every turn.
ranjit's actor's monologue about the war was incredible tbh
Poor Things is very pretty, I’ll give it that much. Colors pop, and the watercolor, blurry sky and the scaling but condensed environments of Lisbon and Alexandria both convey the miasma of Bella’s mind quite well. How the background blurs in our young memories and how we remember all the buildings and places that looked large over us but so rarely the walks to them. Those work for me. So much of the rest of the film doesn’t.
I see what it’s going for- it’s hard not to. A journey of womanhood through the conceit of a child’s brain in a woman’s body, when women are treated as children and property to begin with. But it’s so fucking weird, with that conceit, to devote so much time to sex. Sex is an important part of being human for many people, I’m not denying that. But the attention it gets here throughout compared to brief, paltry scenes of Bella reading, seeking knowledge, having an interest in medical science and surgery is disproportional. Especially when the film wants to play her coming home and following in Godwin’s footstep as a culmination of her journey when it’s a facet of the film that barely gets any play in comparison. Angelica Jade Bastien, whose Variety review you should all read, brings up how in a film ostensibly about a cis woman and her relationship with her body menstruation does not come up once. It’s so telling where the film’s true focus lies.
And yes, sex can be beautiful, and conversely so can sex scenes. But the ones here are done dispassionately yet voyueristically. There’s no interiority, no sensuality, no sense of emotion and character felt through them. Compared to films like The Handmaiden they are sterile in heart if not content. It’s a big swing to go from black and white to color, and I can see sex being the impetus for it, sure, but when it’s done like this I don’t buy it. It’s interesting to me that her first time having sex is portrayed like this, with penetration until the man comes, thrice over, and yet her first time with cunnilingus is off screen. I feel like all the sex in this film is similarly narrow and lifeless.
None of what this film is trying to say is new, but much of it is muddled. It wants to rail against the entitlement of men, how they see women as property, how they want them to be exciting and adventurous but only in service of them. And yet it gives Max no grief at all for falling in love with. A child. Literal child, this is not a metaphor, it’s a child’s brain. And marrying her but refusing to have sex with her until marriage because that would be taking advantage, as if marriage would not be taking advantage and has not been used as the ultimate control. On some level the film condemns this, but only in the opposite direction, as part of Emily leaving Max is her frustration over not having sex. It’s baffling that the film seems to take the viewpoint that we ought to let children consent to sex with adults, that it is part of their development and journey to personhood. The film is similarly forgiving to Godwin, who used a woman’s body in a way she would very likely not have consented to all while the film extols a woman’s choice and ownership of her body.
Everything the film has to say about the nature of man and people, about women’s place in society, about sex work, etc, is rote. Nothing here is new, and nothing is heightened by the core conceit. It’s so surface level. And the cast is game enough. Dafoe is Dafoe and that’s always a good time, but I wouldn’t call this one of his greatest roles. Carmichael, much as I love his standup, just is not working here. Stone and Ruffalo are acting for the back seats, and while that has its moments of charm, it’s too much for most of the runtime. And Stone is just. She’s playing into ableist stereotypes for so much of this performance. The film drops the r slur and we’re just gonna pretend that Stone isn’t doing an insulting caricature at the same time? I don’t even want to delve into all the questions raised by the mental disability angle, others could do that better than me, but it’s another level of thoughtlessness and surface level depth.
The score is similarly cloying and overbearing. It insists on a scene rather than being a part of it. It doesn’t enhance it or complement it, it beats you over the head with how the scene is meant to make you feel. I could enjoy the sound of it in isolation, but as a score it’s distracting more than anything else. It’s a bit surprising to me how much this film has been praised as outside of the production design, I don’t see it. I just don’t. For me, this is as much a misfire as Barbie, if not more. Poor things.
I only have two words: KENDALL'S RAP! lol
It is as if the dumb kid copying the exam of the smart kid and doing it poorly. It lacks everything good the original had.
Ultimately, this is just another high school comedy with a Rebel Wilson twist. Some scenes are funny but there are long stretches when it fails to make the grade.
Wow, what a season. It’s been a wild, exciting ride, and this roller-coaster ride of a finale was the perfect, stress-inducing cap. I can’t imagine a first-time cast measuring up to this one for a while… Congratulations to a very worthy winner!
I like Michael Cudlitz, don't get me wrong. But the choices made in this episode around the introduction of Luthor were making me feel like I was watching Sons of Anarchy most of the time.
Why are they flanderizing Lucy each episode more and more with her annoying, self-centeredness and neuroticism?
Why are they dragging out this Oscar sideplot? Just to keep that shady red haired lawyer in the show? No one cares about Oscar at this point. He was fun back then now he is overstaying his welcome in this show, even if he is only mentioned.
Why are they rushing the one thing that pretty much ruins every show with Nolan and Bailey suddenly getting baby fever? To give more screen time to our Superwoman character and one dimensional actress Dewan? She's by far the weakest character in this show. She needs less screen time, not more.
Why is Juarez stumbling through her job for the past several episodes without any actual repercussions?
Everything in this episode was just patched together to fill an episode, nothing more. Not even in a good way.
TL;DR: Deceivingly good trailer, shit movie.
It pains me to write a review like this when I'm a fan of Cavill, Cena and Jackson.
The writer and director just couldn't make up their mind what kind of movie it is supposed to be. They could've gone for: 1) light-hearted spy movie with a few clichéd plot points 2) romance 3) 'normal' type of comedy 4) 'absurd' type of comedy. They went for all 4.
The plot didn't make sense, and they were more concerned with making fun and cool moments rather than a cohesive film. Here's some examples:
Why was Argyle being all seductive to Ellie in her 'hallucinations', if it was just her own subconscious trying to bring back her memory? Why was Aiden shown as Argyle if it was really Ellie herself? When the oil skating scene was over all I could think of was why weren't her knees covered in oil?
The CGI was terrible. Dua Lipa clearly never touched the accelerator on her bike. Even the server room looked bad.
I never thought they could make a 2 hour movie with Emma Stone in multiple sex scene's this bad, but they did.
Alien universe film order:
1. Prometheus (2012)
2. Alien: Covenant (2017)
3. Alien (1979)
4. Aliens (1986)
5. Alien 3 (1992)
6. Alien: Resurrection (1997)
Spin-off franchise:
- Alien vs. Predator (2004)
- Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
Unfortunately this was pretty dry. I mean, what happened to Ashton Kutcher? It's like he didn't even try in this one smh.
they could just shout on 3, if it is a lie not likely everyone is gonna tell the same lie if they weren't talking before.
This movie was ridiculous :rofl::joy::rofl:
To be able to keep enjoying this show, I literally have to keep skipping the cringe dramatic scenes they have to fill in every 3 minutes, because they don't actually have enough budget to do proper Star Trek episodes. On season 4 currently and it's usually 15-20 minutes per episode that are worth watching.
