There is nothing PC about this movie. It sums up baby boomer attitudes pretty spot on.
Really solid film but the very ending disappointed massively for me. Kind of contradicts everything that came before it.
Groundhog Day the slasher is just as advertised. Horror light with attractive cast, well lit set and a brisk run time is more treat than trick. Fun, but too much will rot your teeth. 7/10
If you're looking for an action and "turn brain off now" film, just don't watch it and spare us the 6-7 hearts review.
I for one, am very tired from 500$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.
It's funny to see bad reviews for this movie, and a lot of criticism towards JJ, but it's clear that all the choices made in this movie was to correct the choices made in The Last Jedi, the movie that was hated by all the fans till yesterday, but now people are praising.
The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie, specially for fans, it's a great way to end this saga, filled with fan service. I don't think I can say more than that without spoiling the experience for everyone.
All the critcs you see here, or on twitter, are coming from people who thinks star wars, a space opera, should be a deep and complex movie with fanfics about romances.
Wow.
Just got back from the cinemas. I think the movie is great.
The mix of humor, action and darkness and some really good twists.
The last 10 minutes are also perfect. Everyone was shocked.
Funniest movie I have seen in years. There is no way Dr Strange In the Multiverse of Madness is going to do multiverse better.
Yeah, there's plot holes. But the movie is so damned funny you just don't care. When they first explained how the multiverse thing worked my reaction was "Really? Is that all?". But it just got better and better and better.
There's periods of the movie you're struggling to breathe you're laughing so hard, and others that are just slow, deep, and sad. It's heartbreaking and hilarious. Slow and a thousand miles per hour. Nothing happening and more happening than you can possibly keep track of at once.
This movie is, without a doubt, brilliant.
Pattinson is the best Batman ever.
he is so tortured, his emotions are sincere. He's the darkest and most precise batman out there.
the visuals and the soundtrack are incredible and take you into the thoughts of the character.
For me it’s a masterpiece.
Quite an interesting insight into a scam so elaborate that it could just as easily be a Hollywood film, not a documentary.
Meanwhile, it's quite pathetic how the victim-blaming discussed in the movie continues in the trakt comments
I don't care what people say... I liked this movie! Sure some bits where predictable but I laughed most of the movie! Just like Baywatch... Don't think to much and just enjoy the movie
Can't even imagine the emotional and financial damage he inflicted upon so many women. Victim blaming is easy when you haven't been in the shoes of the other person. I'm glad they got their power back in some way, 'cause many of these assholes take advantage of discretion and these women made sure he was known for who he really is: a piece of shit, like one of them said, pathetic, definitely, and a criminal. Whoever's with him now won't be able to say they didn't know what they were getting into.
Like Deus Ex meets Crank, Upgrade is a stylish, gritty but somehow humorous thriller which is a blast from start to finish.
9/10
I was totally engulfed in this film. Everything about it was well done. There was incredible character development, well-executed plot, and honestly an enjoyable world. There were multiple 'Inception' moments and SO many references to pop culture and the gaming world.
I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary on today's culture, and where we are going, taken to the extreme. It was neat to see the players who met online, meet in person and continue being friends, despite everyone being different in person. I really enjoyed that message as a gamer myself. Also funny to see commentary on corporate culture trying to take over any power available anywhere (in this case, a hobbyist gaming community.) Various good messages and insights on what the world has become/is becoming.
SUPER ENJOYABLE.
Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
This is such a weird and interesting movie. This goes from an off beat rom-com to something much darker. I enjoyed the tone change and I didn't go into this wanting to question the laws of physics but just let the story unfold. You will enjoy this much more if you suspend your beliefs in the laws of nature. Anne Hathaway was great and I enjoyed Jason Sudeikis for the most part even though his character started acting like a dick.
Absolutely Amazing! I'm at a loss for words regarding why people dislike this movie so much. It's insane! Krampus might not be a masterpiece the way Trick 'r Treat is, but it sure ain't that far off. 9/10 - Superb!
I wanted to love this so much, but it just felt... Empty. The characters didn't connect at all and the Fantastic Beasts themselves felt like an afterthought to the franchise they're actually trying to build.
Overall a watchable movie with some charming moments but damaged by a muddy story and atrocious pacing. I expected more from the HP universe.
Different from the first in all the right ways while expanding its own identity. The villain becomes secondary to a larger plot in a natural way.
This sequel takes even more liberties with the art style and uses each dimension’s art to set them apart beyond just structure. Gwen’s universe in particular uses constantly shifting colors and focuses to show character emotions visibly, which I appreciated more the second viewing. The story, this time, still features Miles but isn’t only about him. At first, I was upset, but the film came to balance all the threads. I kept fluctuating between hating and loving other characters (Gwen). Also, this film isn’t afraid of silence and pauses, which was refreshing in this ‘constantly stimulated’ day and age.
Incredibly rare for the first and second to be this highly rated by me. The first is more emotional, second brings more conflict and group dynamics.
how could a film that bases an entire storyline around a Ratatouille joke not be absolutely fantastic?
The only thing I had in mind while watching this was:"This is what untreated mental illness looks like."
Vicious fun is right. The film is a little rough around the edges but it has a great sense of humour to balance its dark story. Has the potential to be a future cult classic so well worth a watch.
Good for who just watch movie for fun, not good for those who analyze movies
The pink goo coming out of the tap in the bathtub scared the everloving crap out of me when I first watched this movie as a child.
Went in with low expectations and came out really liking it. A great crime drama with a terrific performance from Hugh Jackman.
I did not expect to like this one as much as I did! While I would say that the bucket for vampire movies is getting too crowded, I will certainly not fault an entertaining one for this!
The characters are rather quirky and it's shot mockumentary style (like The Office) which might be off-putting for some but you have at least give them credit for going through a variety of jokes here! Oh, and let's not forget Stu! Everyone loves Stu!
There are some interesting concepts here to modernize the story but most aren't fully fleshed out. There are some funny moments. Chucky's new look isn't the best but at least Mark Hamill gives a decent voice performance. We need Brian Tyree Henry in more movies, he is always great.
Hey ya know what works good for you guys who didn't like this movie???.. If you lick my butthole
People have to realize what they're about to watch before they go into it. The actors are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. It's not meant to be Academy Award winning gold. It's supposed to be ridiculous fun. And it is. I mean, there's a giant ceramic penis. What do you expect? I laughed so much. You just can't take a movie like this seriously. It's purely for stupid laughs.
This is ok. The action is decent. The jokes don't always work but the ones that do are funny. The story makes no sense and people seem to fast travel instantly. Most of the characters are completely forgettable. It feels like it trying to be raunchy just for the sake of being raunchy. But I still had some fun with it.
