Really good movie with an awesome cast until the ending....that was a dreadful ending
Total waste of time. :(
Script is full of nonsense.
Fargo completely shits the bed in its third season. While the show puts together an impressive cast that includes Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, David Thewlis, and Carrie Coon, the characters are some of the most repugnant and despicable of the series, and no fun to watch. The story follows a parking lot mogul named Emmit Stussy who gets into a deadly feud with his twin brother over a stolen inheritance; meanwhile a mysterious businessman named V.M. Varga quietly orchestrates a hostile takeover of Stussy’s company and manipulates Stussy into betraying those closest to him. There’s no one to really root for, and there aren’t too many laughs either. The tone is quite macabre, more so than in past seasons, with a very pessimistic outlook. Still, there are some exciting and intense scenes and twists as the criminal plots and investigations unfold. Series creator Noah Hawley has said that Season 3 of Fargo may be the last, and hopefully it is because it’s slidden so far downhill that it’s just not enjoyable to watch any more.
Well, to be fair it was well acted, the music was great and I very much liked the comedy aspect in it. It was also nice to see people actually fighting back, for once, and NOT behaving like a dumb bunch of helpless chicken.
Other than that, the plot had many, many holes and the final twist actually ruined the whole story for me. It was also very inconsistent about which "laws" these shadows had to follow - sometimes they were doing the same things as the people on the upside, but other times not... however it fit the plot in that moment, it seems. 'Us' tries very hard to be deep and stuff, but it really is not.
However, while it is not as great as I had wished it to be, it also not the worst horror movie I have ever seen. So, for a horror movie night it's OK to watch but don't expect too much, I guess.
Beautiful cinematography somewhat diluted by a primary school level narrative. Now if only we could drag the target audience away from their computer games to watch this.
this movie didnt age well at all!
I was a bit disappointed that it was more about the Minimalists, especially the two men who travel around the world to spread the word, rather than the actual Minimalism philosophy which I was very curious about. It's feels just feels like an introduction and now I'm teased I guess I have to do the reasearch myself if I wanna know more.
I like the movie but it actually gets silly rather than better when it becomes a horror movie. I mean the band of vampires saying "F you guys, we're outta here" and suddenly just blowing up.
Just another movie that was "saved" by Netflix but should have just died in production hell instead.
The story goes nowhere and totally ends up nowhere with no explanations or whatsoever.
With a good end, it could have been saved.
Better than other reviewers made it out to be. Enough unique elements to not blur in with other action movies.
The first movie since Max Payne (coincidentally, also a Mark Wahlberg movie) where I wanted to run out every single minute of the 149 overblown minutes it played. It was incongruent, had forced comedy, and the stereotypes for the transformers are grating to say the least. As a Fab of the cartoons, I can't believe this soulless slosh found the light of day.
Edit: guess I didn't like the which came first, the chicken or egg story.
