This was a very beautiful and moving film by Makoto Shinkai. As the title suggests, it is a story about a growing separation and the effects it has on childhood sweethearts, Akari and, in particular, Takaki. Even though it was only an hour long, by the end I felt like I was truly feeling the pain and longing that had dominated Takaki's life for so long. I was initially disappointed by the ending (what can I say, I'm a sucker for happy endings) but after rewatching the film, I really appreciated that they didn't go with the cliché finish. Takaki not being reunited with Akari and finally deciding to move on from his past, which till that point held down and ate away at his life, was far more powerful and resonated with the themes of the film. The animation, art and music were beautiful like in all Makoto Shinkai works. I can't think of a better way to spend an hour of my time (except, of course, maybe sending a text to my long forgotten fling).
Probably one of the worst villains in the entire mcu so far. They really messed up with taskmaster.
You want my honest opinion ?
- A boring, uninteresting story taken right out of a Bond movie. Shoehorned in between events we've already seen.
- Humor that isn't the least bit funny.
- About 45 minutes too long. All the family reunion stuff did absolutely nothing for me.
- Generic action scenes with at times below average looking CGI
- Zero emotional investement
- Hilarious Russian accents
Conclusion: dissapointing
Shallow characters, empty, boring and cliche storyline - apart from being a Marvel movie, nothing is really great about this one.
And we didn't even get to know what really happened in Budapest - but at least as a hungarian, I'm glad they cleared how we say Budapest. :laughing:
Boring and predictable... nothing else more.
Really enjoyed this. Not like your usual film of this genre that relies on an over-the-top soundscape of screams. This builds the tension slowly and, in my opinion, for what it's worth, is all the better for it. One of the best films I've seen in a while and one that I'll be revisiting.
One of those films where once again there is a huge difference between the critics' and the viewers' assessment. Which one will you choose?
In the genre of war films, I'm slowly leaning towards the critic. In "Brothers" each of the characters seems overdrawn to me. No one reveals anything surprising, everyone fulfills their cliché. The story strictly follows the black and white stereotype of the situation in Afghanistan, completely disregarding being coherent. A Marine has been missing for less than a year and his family is already living 3 chapters after that?
If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie - because it underscores all the clichés you're promised in a good 2 hours. On a positive note, it has become a fast paced piece of work. But I got about as excited by the production as I did watching campfire TV at night.
The best movie I will probably never watch again and one of the best movies I've ever seen. It left me deeply sad, disgusted and depressed, it made me wonder how can people so vile exist and so nonchalantly mingle with us. If you're doubting whether to watch it or not, just do it. It is a fantastic piece of cinema that regardless of how tough it can be to watch, deserves to be seen.
One of the best in its genre. Unique idea. Really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
The whole movie is a blurry experience. Nothing defined. Verging on pointless. The portrayal of the character wasn't right. I'm no sex addict expert. I've met a few self proclaimed ones who were just ego driven narcissists. I've worked with one who was a messed up pervert who by now has probably destroyed his family and life. Who was the guy in this movie? Promiscuous? Some sexual nomad from bar to bar?
what a fucking waste of time and money
