I'm allergic to time jumps back and forth, back and forth and this movie has a lot of it and it ruins the movie completely, and they really have removed a lot of story. Especially noticeable after having watched the 3h miniseries and the movie from 1994 in the last month.
I'm so torn about this. Hated it when I read about it, like "WTF? Another classic character turned into anything-goes-as-long-as-it's-not-a white-man-just-because-we-are-so-woke-now for no reason at all than just that?" Turns out that Holmes is still allowed to be a white man, but then I don't get why they had to involve him at all. As a S. Holmes movie it sucks since she's not as him at all, just like 007 died when Daniel Craig arrived, but it's still an OK flick I guess. So the rating is a hard one but landed on rating it as a Sherlock Holmes movie since they try to kidnap the name so a four it is since I can't encourage a behavior like this.
They should have given her a background and character of her own instead. Now they just counteract themself by showing that they once again have to take a piggy back ride on an old male character to feel safe for it to fly. Just like the hideous Ghostbusters remake....
Just create something new instead of fiddling with stuff like this, it's just counterproductive to the cause they are out to support.
To what purpose for the storyline was the part with Millie Bobby Brown in this movie? Completely pointless.
This is the movie Spike Lee has been trying to achieve for years while repeatedly failing.
Great acting, love Stanfield since Atlanta, great script and a feast for the eyes but it's a bit long with some parts that get a little boring.
Out of the predicted nominees this is my winner since I doubt they'll let a foreign movie (Minari) win again.
The acting performances of Brendan Fletcher and Eliana Jones is what I will remember from this movie. Daddario does one of her worst performances so far and I'm not sure if Cavill still knows that he was in this movie, looked like he just got out of bed throughout the entire thing and just read stuff from a sign.
Can't stand movies with long scenes of people screaming at each other.
Just as with The Irishman, a lot of people will give this a high rating just because they are supposed to. Dont take me wrong, it's a good story but the movie is an hour to long.
This is like listening to and old man rambling on about some childhood memory with for the story unnecessary parts and details woven into it so you loose interest before getting to the end.
What did I just watch and how/why did this train wreck of a movie get nominated for several so called prominent awards? Some nice acting going on but that's about it.
Just as intolerable as the author himself.
What a complete waste of time.
So for what reason is this nominated for an Oscar except Boseman and its 97% non-white cast? Because this movie is bad even compared with just other movies in the MCU universe. Boring story that goes on for an hour to long.
If this wins, the Oscar's as a measurement for good film making is dead.
Not often that I hand out this rating but it's very well deserved.
Sadly not worth the wait.
Never been a fan of SNL and the majority of their stuff and this felt just like that.
Complete waste of 1,5-ish hour.
I managed to watch 15 minutes.
Had pretty low expectations but it still managed to underachieve. The weakest Marvel movie so far and a 100% kids movie. The soundtrack was the best part...
Nope, once again I fail to find asian "comedy" funny and all the animal abuse doesn't help.
Got a bit repetitive after a while and made me loose interest. Well made in every other way though.
The Rooney character is completely misplaced and ads nothing but annoyance, would've been a 8 without it since I a bit surprisingly liked this very much.
Liked the opening scene then I got lost in the story line, pointless scenes and weird dialogue. Can't believe this got Oscar nominated.
Alana Haims performane is probably the only thing I'll remember from this in the long run.
Haven't been this little annoyed of Melissa McCarthy since Gilmore Girls and almost enjoyed watching this.
It's official, Bruce Willis accepts every single script they throw at him and doesn't even bother to read them.
Well that was four wasted minutes.
The idea is fun but it's incredibly I'll performed. Script and directing is a joke and I've never seen the female lead Agnes Lindström before but she's not suited for a comedy, good up until that part of her role begins though.
Kardo Razzazi feels like he's on a completely different location while reading his lines from a teleprompter.
The "old guard" does their thing though but not much more.
In a few months I'll only remember two scenes from this. First the two minutes in a basement with Claes Månssons and then the one with Suzanne Reuter and her "Sorry about the smell of socialism, we used public transport."
To much of a kids movie for my taste, "jokes" and comedy worthy the Nickelodeon Channel. Nice action and acting saves it from a lower grade.
So.
Much.
YELLING!!!!!
And I can't stand it.
I have no problems watching weird stuff but I hate parallel story lines cut into each other (or maybe I missed something explaining the shrink) and the combination of the two was to much. Binned it after an hour.
This isn't Bond, just some generic boring action flick.
What a terrible way to waste a cast like that.
Had such a high hope for this one and while Scarlett and Florence deliver the story, directing and editing does not. This is sadly at the very bottom on my list of Marvel movies.
Maggie is my second favorite of the family but this wasn't that interesting except the burrito in the face scene. Better luck next time.
