For all the hype, this movie becomes
A snooze fest and absolutely dumb from the halfway point.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life...
Unless you really like when 4 different people are talking over each other utter nonsens; then avoid this, like if your life depended on it...
This movie is so anxiety inducing not because of the plot but because of Adam Sandler keeps yelling his lines while 10 other people are yelling and it's impossible to enjoy anything that's going on. What a waste of 2 hours.
Wow.. this was some kind of mixed emotions for me. Something between "jeow i like this idea and know what they are going to tell the audience" and "wtf.. this is scray bshit". To me there was much potential that turned out to be wasted at the end. Sad.
A great film with an ending that sucks.
A film that gets to the very bottom of capitalism and reveals all the horrors along the way.
Poetic, raw and true... If you want your horror to mean something, this is the movie for you.
For those interested in the symbolism:
The Platform is society, where those who have refuse to share with those beneath them who have not.
The Authorities represent the Powers That Be.
Trimagasi: Greed
Imoguiri: Altruism
Goreng: Martyr
Miharu: Revolutionary
Her child: Change
At the end, the martyr dies delivering the message of change (which was created by revolutionaries) to the Authorities, who are unaware of what's going on.
Boring, pretentious autobiography. Also: a feel-good family movie.
I put off watching this for a long time and finally gave it a try on Netflix. Man, am I a moron for not having started watching this show earlier. Most episodes are hilarious and while the setting of the show seems not very promising, some how it just pulls it off. I am very much looking forward to the next seasons, its a shame that there are only four of them overall!
There's an interesting story at the heart of this film, but it takes a lot of digging to get there.
what a piece of crap
many and very long fighting scenes.. So much that it really started getting boring.
Storyline: 2 Martial Arts: 9
I go with the same:
- Storyline: 2 Martial Arts: 9
For Material-Arts-Fans OK! The story ist boring...
an action movie with a lot of fighting but it was really boring.
This movie was alright... The trailer highlighted the best scenes with the exception of a shocking dinner scene. Everything else about this movie was very boring to me and I had a difficult time continuing to watch to the end.
Slow pace and little to no effective tension make this bog standard cartel flick a drag to get through.
I was hoping for even more action! Movie was a bit meh for me...
A bit too slow and not enough action for my taste. Honestly, when I really think about it, not a whole lot happened? Solid performances from the cast and great cinematography though.
Atomic Blonde is a simple concept with the idea of empowering the female role within the action/spy genre, basically turning James Bond into a girl. I don't care for that as long as the movie is good, The movie looks great at first... She can kick ass. But after a while, that's all there is.
I enjoyed the actions but in the end... Meh
But I think if you enjoy watching a hot blonde beat the crap out of men.. You'll like it.
Way to kill a franchise... I adore the first three Bournes. Legacy wasn't really a Bourne, but at least it was still decent writing and a fun watch. But this... this abomination should've never been made. Awful plot (boring awful, not ridiculous awful), unintelligent dialogues (I'd say below the average, even), generic action (zero impressive clever tricks on Jason's part), 30+ minutes of "watch us walk with intense music" sequences, and even more camera shake to disguise the lack of creativity.
I'll go as far as to say that this is the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced from watching a movie. I mean, there were other films I've waited for and that turned out really sub-par, but, if a part of a franchise, they were never THIS different, and there were usually red flags going off before the release. Here, however, I've entered the theater with 9 years worth of hype, 100% sure that I'm in for a treat, and left with nothing but a poker face.
In 2008, i saw "Cloverfield" for the first time, i had no idea about what the movie was and a i didn't know i would love it, the simple script and the found footage style made as an imersive and amazing experience, i really enjoyed.
8 years later and the same producers come back with a semi-sequel, i guess that's how i can call this film, in january i didn't even know this movie was coming out, i tought it was weird cause they were using Cloverfield in the name, so i saw a small teaser and i was surprised that this film was totally different from the previous one. The filming style, the atmosphere, everything from the predecessor was gone.
New filming style (which by the way is a beautiful cinematography), new atmosphere, new characters, new story. Dan Trachtenberg's first feature film is just amazing, very competitive and stylish direction, everything works on this film, the simple script works along with the cast of three. Mary Elizabeth Winstead outstanding as usual, John Goodman on one of the best works of his career and John Gallagher Jr. i never saw acting but he surprised me.
The atmosphere created in the film is just great, caught my attention in every second, the shadowed cinematography and a very imersive soundtrack by Bear McCreary makes it almost perfect.
The third act rushes a little bit, and the ending may have some mixed receptions, i liked it. (Obs: don't watch the trailers, it may have too many information and ruin your experience).
10 Cloverfield Lane is one of the best psychological thriller movies of the decade, terrific and almost perfect. Go see it.
Messed me up in the best ways. Unreal film, needs to be watched with zero spoilers to have full impact.
Great movie, I loved it. And the less you know about it before watching, the better.
Watching this move was exhausting for me and not because it so appealing or thrilling but because of the camera work. This camera doesn't stop moving for a second. I mean for real, it's moving the whole time even when 2 people are just talking. All of the shots are filmed in this 'dynamic' way which should give you feel like you right there within all the chaos and tension. Unfortunately it didn't. It isn't my cup of tea. I prefer steady camera work with wide shots so I can see whats happening instead of guessing. Take Mad Max Fury Road as a example. That's how action should be filmed in my opinion.
Besides the rushed editing and filming the movie was oke but not as good as the previous 3 Bourne films ( not counting Bourne Legacy ). The story was kinda predictable but well developed with a uninteresting side plot about a Social media platform. Which tried to get a deeper meaning by involving privacy rights and such. It didn't worked out for me at all. By far the most boring parts of the movie. The actions scenes are done very well as the acting. I didn't even see Matt Damon in the film it was all Jason Bourne, he played the roll almost flawless.
Overall I was entertained because I love film but on a sketchy level. When you don't except a masterpiece and like action and aren't having a headache at the moment you will have some fun with it.
Meh. Not the best Bourne film for sure.
After watching Jason Bourne in the cinema back in 2016, I called it “entertaining but forgettable” in my review, and that still stands. The story is not up to what we are used to, the shaky cam is back in full force, and it actually has pacing issues.
The acting is passable, and there's nothing negative to be said about the action (if you can stand the shaky cam), but there's something about this movie that coats my brain in a non-stick layer, and the only thing that sticks there past the credits is that I find Alicia Vikander rather attractive.
Jason Bourne worth the watch then?
If you haven't seen it...sure. As for rewatching...not unless you are rewatching all of them.
If you can ignore the constant shaky-cam and the corny dialog (not that there is a lot of it), Jason Bourne is a somewhat entertaining action movie.
I know most people either love or hate this movie, but to me, this is the ultimate in "entertaining-but-forgettable". It's not bad, but not especially good either. We did leave the movie theater feeling entertained, but the movie faded to oblivion before we got back home. We did, however, agree that we had to find time to rewatch the first three movies soon...
If you liked the first movies, watch it. It is, after all, a new chapter in the story about Jason Bourne.
The director should be executed in public, the shaking camera and constant moving on the action scenes was absolutely horrible cinematography and it made the movie almost unwatchable. Very weak plot, not many fights that you expect in a Jason film. Didn't enjoy it.
