There is no point in turning a story that already had racial components into a silly representation of BLM. Candyman killed to avoid being forgotten, but now kills for racial revenge, which simplifies the depth of the proposal. Nia Dacosta's forceful directing and Robert Aiki's extraordinary electroacoustic soundtrack elevate the quality of a film that sacrifices the horror in favor of a simplistic racial view.
This series is so mindblowingly great
This show is simply brilliant. It's hard to impress me with humor around sensitive topics. I just LOVE everything about this show. Hilariously 'informative' lolol!
Like lego toilet paper, Old is pretty clunky and rubbed me all the wrong ways.
From the point of view of someone who probably likes M. Night Shyamalan a tad more than most people, I find Old to be one of his weakest efforts.
The predictable script (surprisingly so, for Shyamalan) relies too heavily on the graphic novel (I really, really hope having characters state their names and jobs outright wasn't a device he thought of himself), looks cheap and, tbh, is poorly directed. Shyamalan's stubborn refusal to show us any of the action (try too hard for a PG-13 much?) ends up being more annoying than intriguing.
This combined with some dubious acting in lead roles (not Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, Abby Lee Kershaw, or Rufus Sewell who all turn in strong performances) make Old weak, fragile, and tired.
Too much social commentary, not enough horror (or suspense). Easily the least impressive Peele production.
The tone of this movie is all over the place; it is an absurdist collage of genres that never capitalises on any single one to great effect. It's both fantastically shot while being absolute drivel, it's a complete whiplash in quality from one facet to the next. Not once was I sure what type of response this movie was trying to illicit from me. Was I supposed to laugh at the absurdity of it all? Enjoy the annoyingly well shot action sequences? Be scared by the slow building horror scenes? Chuckling from the poor acting and terrible script work?
Either James was shooting to make The Room of horror movies as his return to the genre, or something here went horribly wrong. Or it'll become a cult classic because of how stupid it is. What a wild ride, and sadly not one I can say I enjoyed. The Saw references were a nice touch though.
Not as good as the first one but still enjoyable. Pennywise still is super creepy and Bill Skarsgård plays him perfectly. Bill Hader steals the show, everyone else is fine. This felt a little too long and clunky. There was some cool back and forth between the adults and kids but it kinda got old after a while. It could of done with a tighter story.
This movie might have been successful had it been made several years ago, around the time the book was published (which I enjoyed). It doesn't do anything new or original with the premise or plot that hasn't already been done (and done better by others). It's hard to stand out in a zombie-filled world of media and this one doesn't.
Started off so well the first 5 minutes were so gripping, but then it went a bit dull and lifeless from then on. Still worth a watch though, makes you think twice about using your mobile phone!
Why do we need another suicide squad movie?
I long for the days where cgi was only used when it was really needed. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I remember watching the anime way back in college and liking it but feeling like it was only part of the story (which is actually the case). I figured that for the big screen adaptation they'd fix this and make sure it felt like a full story. I was wrong. Despite the great visuals, solid action scenes, and (mostly) talented cast...at the end of the film I walked away feeling like this was an extended pilot for a new big budget TV show. The unfulfilled feeling overwhelmed the positives built up over the course of the film.
Imagine a time travel movie where nothing happens.
Now you don't need to watch this. You're welcome.
All I can really say is... What a fucking mess. This movie didn't know what it wanted to be and it showed.
Just all bangers. Each skit got at least one big laugh or gasp, and the ending had no right to be so hard hitting.
I was waiting for the robot to say "number 5 is alive"
The movie wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. It was way too long at 2 hrs 11 minutes and really should have been 45 minutes shorter. There were lots of useless scenes meant to add drama, but only added to the cringe level. The acting wasn't bad for what the movie is... I think it's worth the watch if nothing else is around
Some robots running around in the jungle killing some people. It could be worse but it is not so much boring at all. The robots are fine, looking real. Docs are ok and our protagonist Rambo is ok. It is just very long, more than 2 hrs.
This doesn't suck. It's remarkably un-sucky if you're looking to scratch a sci-fi robot itch. I enjoyed it and if you go in with the correct expectations and are in the mood for a movie like this, you will too.
The tempo was all over. The music was great, but way over the top, especially the first ~20 minutes of the film. You don't know what's happening, but you feel manic. I never rooted for any of the characters.
Fantastic acting with a great cast, but a rushed story and over the top editing made this fall flat.
Just another flick about your neighborhood Karen - 5/10, would not watch again.
I tried to like it. I just couldn't. To start with the 1st 30 minutes or so was so boring. They tried to make it suspenseful but it wasn't pulled off very well. Then all of a sudden you're at the ending. It just kinda comes out of nowhere. I'm just glad that I was watching it on Netflix and could rewind what in the hell was going on.
I rather enjoyed this little thriller. Much better than I anticipated from the trailer. I especially enjoyed the nods to the classic thrillers within.
This movie could’ve been so great but it had a terrible script & poor execution. Visuals were about the only good thing in this movie. So many things unexplained. Rushed ending. And not enough character development.
If you got 90 mins to waste & nothing better going on in your life, watch it. Otherwise move on, you’re not missing anything great.
It is a bad movie. I do not think you will keep your attention at the scenes even Willis is in it. The CGI, plot, everything is lame.
What a complete waist of time this is a terrible movie very bad acting there are veteran actors like Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane in this who act like complete amateurs. The story sucks the effects suck the so called aliens act more like zombies. This is definitely on the list of one of the worst movies of the year if not ever made. Bruce Willis and Thomas jane need to be more selective on the roles they choose next time. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME ON THIS PIECE OF :poop::poop::poop::poop: it is boring and not at all entertaining.
low budget, low quality, first half was totally boring, second half not good enough to compensate for first half. I get that it's ironic and sarcastic, but boring none the less
