This remarkable telling of the true rescue at Guna Cave is a stark reminder that life is truly mysterious. Though I found the beginning to be a bit slow, the story picks up about a third of the way through. It is also remarkably bereft of embelishment in its portrayal of the people.
These are not straight-laced, choir boys. They are working class young men who are there to paint the town red with little to no regard for the destruction they might leave behind. And in true ride or die fashion, they refuse to leave their buddy behind even when faced with (realistically) unsympathetic and irritated police officers. Although I can't say I enjoyed the experience of gripping the egde of my seat for a good portion of the film, I believe this is one I'll be recommending to others.
It's hilarious!! I spent at least 70% of this laughing. It's an amazing commentary on sexism and patriarchy in general, as well as the discrepancy between intention and reality. Allen is a BAMF. It was also a nice touch to have the Kens united after a fight.
Some of the dialogue is a little on the nose and the reactions are dramatic but that's what made it so funny and amazing to watch.
Cute, I don't know why I stayed away from the movie for so long but it speaks to me personally so I liked it. Objectively speaking though, the story is a bit rushed towards the end. A bit more might have made the resolution seem more natural.
On the other hand, the animation is goddamn gorgeous!! I'd watch it again just to see the masters at work drawing the characters to life through the acting
It's a fun and interesting watch, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations after all the hype. I think I would have rated it much higher if I hadn't seen clips on social media and stuff. I regret watching all the spoilers now
Still, I think people should give it a try. It talks about being beaten down by life but striving to do better while keeping a sardonic tone about idealism. It also portrays the power media and editing has in today's world. One emotionally charged moment captured (or not captured) on camera could ruin your life but also potentially life you up.
Well, it was definitely a Tom Cruise movie. Good action and a decently engaging plot but nothing that stood out really. Still, I had fun watching it in the big screen. It was very theatrical
Amazing animation and an unusual/absurd storyline. It was a bit simple, probably because it's meant for a young audience. wasn't really gripped by the story but as an animator myself, I spent most of the movie marveling at the 2d animation. Overall pretty cute but meant for kids both character and story wise.
so utterly hilarious!
I don't normally like movies that make light of the north and south Korea situation but this one shoved the issue into the background with ease. There is a surprising sense of normality in the way the soldiers from each country treat each other and a light-hearted approach to the prejudices they each hold.
The story was also told with excellent comedic timing and hilarious dialogue. I laughed so hard I nearly cried. Highly recommend that anyone interested gives it a try.
Totally masala film. i.e cliche action with cheesy lines.
Unrealistic but super cool action sequences, almost believable fantastic CGI and weirdly interesting wordplay in the dialogue that nearly made me forget how cringeworthy the content was.
There was an undertone of patriotic struggle throughout the film and religion was portray as another aspect of life rather than a plot point of the story. Take that as you will but personally I liked it.
Got to say though, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham really nailed it down for me that I'm very bisexual. curves and Muscles everywhere folks.
Distastefully sinful. It's got drugs, kinky sex and straight-up-shit right in the first 20 mins. I can see why some people might like it but it was too chaotic and uncomfortable to watch for me.
I walked out.
suspenseful and well directed!
Good cinematography and a decent murder-mystery plotline.
Simple but so, so, so very well executed. Loved it! Great music, good dialogue, awesome cinematography. What really clinched it for me was the excellent editing, it really made scenes more engaging and inspired. The movie managed to pay homage to the original while at the same time stand out from it. This is going to be one of those movies I wouldn't mind watching again and again for years to come.
It was an okay movie but after Shang Chi, it felt a bit bland. It seemed more like a prequel movie than the main movie to me. Worth a watch but perhaps not at the cinema. Looking forward to the sequel though! Lots of unanswered questions..
Pretty entertaining for a black and white film. Not overdone and fun to see the original legend in action. Personally, I liked it
Didn't expect it to be as interesting as it was. Great set design, characterization, and acting. Made me want to be more like Cruella which is mind-boggling with how I saw her as a kid. One of the few live action Disney films I genuinely like now
Watch it, you won't regret it! Awesome use of rock music too and of course we can forget Emma Stone just being a BAMF throughout the film
Gotta be honest, I thought it was a bit too cheesy and dramatized at times but it was still a fun watch! Loved the cast and the badass fighting scenes. Pretty good dialogue and banter in it. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh from a feminist POV
Got the opportunity to watch the preview screening and it was a roller coaster ride! One moment I'd be laughing and the next tearing up. I loved the relationships were portrayed in this film and the locations that the film was shot in were gorgeous.
I have to say that the best part for me personally was the very rare portrayal of America through the distrustful eyes of a foreigner who vehemently did not want to be there. The film also successfully pointed out the many assumptions and stereotypical perspectives that the average American has of Mexicans in a comical but thought-provoking way. Renato's journey was as much about accepting the role America had in his life (represented physically by his half-brother, Asher) as it was about getting closure with his father.
I had a fun time watching this film and would definitely was it together with my family when it releases.
Great, gripping and captivating movie! Amazing cast and direction. The editing was seamless between all the different viewpoints and the switching between the cast and original footage of the riots was poignant. I wasn't expecting to be hooked right from the beginning but it was surprisingly adrenaline-pumping for a court room movie.
There were a few embellishments in the movie, some to exaggerate (Jerry Rubin being seduced by a female undercover agent) and some to understate ( Bobby Seale's treatment was far worse than what was portrayed), some events were switched around as well for better storytelling purposes. Regardless, Aaron Sorkin managed to capture the restlessness and agitation of the environment during the trails and the utter injustice of it all which is the crux of the matter.
Overall, I enjoyed watching it and would definitely recommend it to friends. Personally, I think it is also a very apt movie for these times where I'm sure many of the younger generation can relate to the dissent and the desire for change.
