What the hell was that?
classic anime ending, where nothing made sense at all :laughing:
No clue what was going on. If we had to watch this episode for class, I would get a zero on the quiz.
This ending was just terrible. Subtle references to religion and mythology throughout the series suddenly spiral down into some cheap therapy session designed to make otaku boys with daddy issues love themselves? Bah.
Could this movie be any longer or slower??? Sure let’s make Part 2.
Way too much unnecessary melodrama. I was basically begging the movie to end after a certain point.
I saw an early release of this in a theatre, yesterday. The art work is amazing. The attention to all the history of the canon was admirable and the imagination of what could be was unmatched. BUT it was chaotic, so much happening at once, dialogue cascading over other dialogue, images flashing by so rapidly there could be little appreciation of the panoramic art and world building. It all became a blur. The worse sin in my eyes was that there was never a clear direction for the primary story arc. All the little origin stories that were included interrupted the basic story (was there really one?), so much so that when they returned to the narrative they repeatedly had the repeat the salient points of the narrative in a lot of mini-synopses. And the final insult was that it was TO BE CONTINUED. This movie needed a narrative edit and a completed story line. The chaos made the action cheap and at times boring. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Marvel Superhero Action Adventure]
loved the long shots .. and i realy liked the acting ( am only talkin abt carey here) bradley seemed so desperate for that Oscar imo .. a movie to forget even tho am a fan of biographies
It's boring, that's the problem. The Zone of Interest is completely uninteresting.
Scenery, wardrobe and all of that is very well done, which infuriates me because they could have done such an interesting film if they'd had shown the funcioning of Auschwitz. In that camp there were stories worth telling. Anyways, I regret having spent money in the cinema for this one.
Americans saying that "original" was better than this one. Little do they know that "Alive" wasn't the first film about this accident. Actually, a mexican movie released in 1976 was the first one ever made and it wasn't bad at all.
Yes, this version is slow paced and with less action than previous movies, specially the american one, but technically and emotionally is way above the first two movies. J. A. Bayona goes deeper in the emotional part of each character, this time, using the real names of the survivors, besides, it was filmed in part in the same spot where the accident took place. Hey, we even have cameos of some of the survivors.
Sorry, but people saying this "remake" is bad, is just lazy people that don't like to read subtitles. This movie will be nominated for an Oscar, I can tell you that.
Only about 30 seconds of actual new content, the rest is just flashbacks to what we saw in the earlier arcs. You could skip this episode.
I was really pleasantly surprised by this one after the first one was such a schlockbuster. Much more thoughtful, much more character-driven. Could have been a bit shorter, the pacing bogs down around the lunar crisis in particular, that whole act would really have benefited from tighter editing. And it's sometimes hard to follow due to a combination of the subs translation not being perfect and some scenes moving too quickly to allow you time to figure out what said opaque subs actually mean. But once you get your head past the scientific absurdity of the premise, which is a dumb basis on which to criticise a film anyway, it's very enjoyable.
G8: Absolutely phenomenal. Super interesting setup, great arc in general.
Long Ring Long Land: Admittedly slow, but I now get why some people watch sports.
Oceans Dream: Great idea, really good execution, but can be skipped because it ends up being completely ignored
Foxy's Return: Really short, so nothing too amazing or too awful
This season isn't the best yet, but it was still a lot of fun. I have 2 main issues with it, each removing a point from my score.
I thought that the survival game dragged on too long and I was ready for it to end long before it actually did. Also there is some weird race stuff towards the end with the Native-American inspired Shandian people that pushes a "white savior" idea while portraying them as savage beasts. Obviously, I don't think Oda is racist, but the Shandian history was in pretty poor taste.
As for what I liked, the Luffy vs. Eneru battles were a blast, and the mysteries were thought out pretty well. One Piece is really good at making threats feel real, and this season is no exception. Not perfect by any means, but still the One Piece I know and love.
I'd almost rather watch paint dry, seriously.
Probably the first four-hour movie that I watched in one sitting. Not a perfect one, but the first fiction that caused me emotions since "Endgame". The plot is interesting. The characters are developed. The soundtrack is incredible. It could have been a beginning of something, but, you know what happened. Such a pity that a franchise with this potential has been lost.
What an absolute breath of fresh air this show is! Loved it! Jenna's performance is superb, and the way its integrated into modern society works very well.
What a shame there are only 8 episodes, I could easily sit through another 8 :grin:
A ridiculously overstuffed mess. Such an ambitious and interesting concept but they turn it into an unbelievably dreary, overstuffed, and poorly put together slog. How can a film this poorly put together deserve anything higher? As far as found footage films go, there's got to be some logical reason for the camera to be present but not on this film. I found the choice of non-linear storytelling to be very strange as it's mostly ineffective when applied to the subgenre. It also relies too heavily on a twist and some real scary parts that come too late. There are too many failed attempts at emotional substance and this thing goes on for too long, by the time it finally gets to the good parts, you just don't care anymore.
An awful and unimaginative karate flick. The 81 minute runtime features almost no plot and every god damn blow gets repeated in either slow-mo, a different angle or just straight up the same shot. They're mostly not impressive and the sound design is not something to show off here.
Looks like this was remade into https://trakt.tv/movies/karate-girl-2011 for obvious reasons!
Quietly absorbing and by the end, emotionally devastating. A wonderful piece of filmmaking
It is amazing how cinema done well can make the viewer empathize so much with the protagonist, and that is the case with The Quiet Girl.
Despite the little dialogue, I was able to feel every single emotion the little girl was feeling, I wanted to reach into the screen and hug her tightly, until I burst into tears in the final scene with that cookie and the "Daddy."
Wonderful soundtrack, the little girl acted great even though she is only 12 years old, poor plot but strong impact, it is more focused on making you empathize with the girl. One of the best films of 2022
8/10
Ahh man this was a bit all over the place....
A few of the stories were good but the rest were just bad. One Time in the Woods was definitely the best segment out of the whole movie though. That was awesome :ok_hand:
Solid practical effects which was the main reason why I kept watching and not fast forward until the end.
Will still check out the sequel though, as I love anthology movies.
If I ever traveled to Avatar world, I would invent arrow proof cockpit glass for the helicopters and become rich.
Best Halloween movie. Don't argue with me.
Don Murray's character was unlikable and annoying as fuck. The best part of the entire film was when he finally got his ass kicked. Otherwise, the whole movie was very cringey and the ending was okay.
nothing to see here, move on.
The only good thing was the cleavage of Vergara and that did not appear many times
