Such a cute movie. Went with a group of friends and we all came out emotional. It's a movie that is both funny and sweet with depictions of real life for many of us.
Stupid movie with terrific aero scenes in the jets.
Should have been called "Top Gun: Maverick 'N' Rooster" - talk about bleeding a situation to death!!
Where have I seen this "special mission" before? Oh yeah, Star Wars when they were trying to blow up the planet - flying between walls and avoiding guns - remember? Or how about The Dam Busters from way back in the 1955 - pretty close to that one too.
Completely predicable - and here's a newsflash... ever heard of Drones or missiles to do the job?
Very generous 5.5/10
Go watch Haywire instead.
You won't get a lesbian love scene but you'll get more believable action, a better story, and a better cast.
Olga Kurylenko isn't the problem here. The wafer thin script and transparent plot is.
5/10
A hitman sent to kill Santa, on paper this idea sounds like something that could be so good. Especially if you've seen the Christmas episodes of American Dad which is exactly what I was thinking of with this movie. Sadly up until the last 20 minutes nothing happens, it's all pretty boring and the finale is pretty rubbish. I had high hopes but was left feeling like this movie had missed everything that should of been great.
This ranks high in my "Worst Films I've Ever Seen" list. Sadly, it reflects the average quality of Netflix's comedy offerings. I wonder if its target audience find it amusing. About the only positive thing that I can say about it, is that it has a good cast, and many cameos.
I went to see this at the London Film Festival and was so excited to see a genre of film that I'm not normally a fan of. I went in sceptical but open minded due to Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead already having a large fanbase because of their other works. I was not disappointed and came out thoroughly satisfied with the plot, character development and the relationship between the 2 leads. The plot was very different and was unlike anything I've watched before. 5 minutes into the film and I already could not wait to see where the story headed. It gave nothing away as to how it would end and you were left guessing up until the last few minutes of the film. Admittedly, I went purely to see Jamie Dornan (guilty) but enjoyed Anthony Mackie's performance. He is the main lead, with Jamie being the secondary. The relationship between both their characters ranged from good humoured banter, to frustration and compassion with many other things thrown in between. Very excited to watch this again and to hopefully see other things I didn't notice first time around
i got a major problem with the premise: so they modify our genetics to be able to survive titan because we cant survive on Earth, right? so why don´t change us so we could.... just live on earth? ^^
Oscar Isaac dance sequence is a must watch
The movie is told by the excellence in editing, photography, score (by Hans Zimmer) and visual/practical effects.
From the moment which the viewer notices that it is a non-linear narrative told in 3 (or more) points of view, the film becomes visceral, thrilling and captivating. It gives the sense of failure and weight on those soldiers' shoulders during the many days that they suffered from German's soldiers (which only appeared 2 seconds in the whole movie) . You feel the human sacrifice, courage and fear that was on that beach, with all of the people waiting to their death or salvation. You experience and live the patriotism of the civilians which adventure themselves to the sea to rescue their own.
Dunkirk is a singular masterpiece that recreates one of the miraculous periods of World War II.
This is a smart, funny and very entertaining movie with a killer soundtrack. The soundtrack has a little bit of everything and is choreographed perfectly into the action. Ansel Elgort is great and so are Kevin Spacey and Jon Hamm.
EDIT: Saw it again and it is still just as great.
Not allowed to do a review yet but I'll say this:
This is how you do a superhero movie.
This is how you do a war movie.
And the best comment of the night: "It was amazing, it made me believe I could become Wonder Woman." -6yo girl
It isn't an easy task, trying to sum this film up in a couple paragraphs, but I will do what I can. This is one of those films that I walked into with sky-high expectations and it is one of the very few that not only met those expectations, but beat the piss out of them as well. Kingsman: The Secret Service has all the makings of a great thriller/comedy/action/spy/romance film and if you are a fan of movies at all, I highly recommend it. I am not going to go into detail about the movie, you should really just go watch it.
Throughout the film, there were a couple of times that I was reminded of the Men in Black franchise. Though Kingsman has nothing to do with extraterrestrials, the humorous secret service theming is very familiar. But I found Kingsman to be superior in several ways. The story is complete and satisfying with a few decent twists but nothing totally mindfucking. And if you are like me and expect a certain level of character development in order to be happy, you won't be disappointed.
There is a small bit of disbelief that you have to suspend in order to enjoy the movie, but I had no trouble with that. The fight scenes were ridiculously cool, even for someone like me that isn't really an action kind of guy. I am more about finding an emotional connection to the characters in a film and I became fairly attached to several of them in this one. My only real complaint was that a couple instances in the film that utilized a green screen were very noticeable and almost hard to get past. But what it lacks in green screen effects, it more than makes up for in humor and other special effects.
So, in conclusion, this was a movie well worth seeing. So hurry up and catch it while it's still in theaters.
This movie is a mess, it don't even respect its own rules and the atmosphere is just wrong.
An insightful documentary about movie editing including many interviews with people that worked on great films. Most of the iconic edited films get linked to films produced in Hollywood so that can be a little offputting (WWII propaganda flows into Starship Troopers for example) but it still does it's job.
Very, very entertaining! Groundhog Day, with a very strong twist. Really liked this one, kudos!
Blad 2 was one of my favorite movies EVER... This movie blows.....
