This just doesn't work for me! The first half of the movie was so boring, i don't know why but de sound mixing was so bad, the directing was good but the flashbacks were confusing.The only good thing in this was Timothée Chalamet acting, i mean, all of them were good but he was way better! I'm going to give this a 6.5/10
Ever since the mid 90s, Roland Emmerich has attempted time and time again to repackage and recapture the ideas from Independence Day. After many failed attempts, I wonder why there’s still a theatrical market for films like this. Or rather, it’s odd that Hollywood thinks there’s still a market for it, given that all of Emmerich’s films since 2012 have flopped at the box office. And, he’s about to add another one to his resume. This should’ve gotten a streaming release at best, as it belongs in the same category as a film like The Tomorrow War. It’s background noise you throw on while you’re doing the dishes or folding the laundry. It's too disposable, phony, poorly acted and boring to pay any serious attention to, let alone pay money for. There's a sense of authenticity and fun to dumb action movies like Independence Day that you're never going to capture with the way these kind of films are made now. You have to applaud Emmerich for making a big, original studio film, but it’s still generic schlock that doesn’t have a single ounce of personality. Fuck whoever financed this.
Edit: after a little bit of digging I found out that the primary investor of this thing is a Chinese company called Tencent Pictures. They’re also responsible for financing other great films such as Terminator: Dark Fate, Warcraft, Kong: Skull Island, Men in Black: International, Monster Hunter and the 2 Venom movies. To put it mildly, it appears that it’s this company’s sole purpose to flood the market with trash, and not exactly the fun kind. Now I know what you’re thinking: maybe their involvement helps with receiving a Chinese release from the CCP? But here’s the problem: Venom 2 was banned in China. So, they’re clearly just a bunch of incompetent investors, given that all of their films (the Venom films excluded) have been massive financial and critical flops. The takeaway for Hollywood should be pretty simple: if Tencent wants to invest in your production, cancel all plans before you have another Moonfall on your hands.
2.5/10
Watch it if you’re a fan of Toto, or genuinly laugh at any point during the first scene.
While still funny and immensely entertaining, I confess I was a little disappointed with Deadpool. With this character, they had an opportunity to make a completely ridiculous and nonsensical superhero movie, and what we got as another generic plot following the tired origin story / damsel-in-distress formula, with a bit of crude humor and 4th-wall breaking mixed in. I almost wonder if that was the cost for finally getting this movie made.
I was OK, but felt like it missed a lot of what actually happened.
I know nothing of the story/events, but it was disjointed and left me with questions like - what happened with the miners? Were they still mining? We never saw one instance of the ore arriving and being loaded onto the ships.. other than the ship at the very beginning, there was just ships in the harbour with only the ferry actually docking ... on one occasion. What happened to the English guys?
The picture/poster had absolutely nothing to do with the movie because everything was on the land.
Guns, a lot of guns
Any review you read saying it isn’t that bad is from people who don’t watch enough movies. Every minute is ripped, terribly, from better films. Bobby Rod saw a few too many Nolan movies and thinks he can compete by plagiarizing his work.
Definitely had high hopes for this movie, was expecting something twisted and over the top, and what it turned out to be was a standard war movie with some extra gore and some monsters.
Way too much time spent on getting us to know the characters, and too little on action.
You're better off watching a real WW2 movie or a straight up zombie movie instead of this half-baked mix of them.
This is the Unforgiven of superhero movies, a brutal yet tender portrayal of former heroes growing old. Logan is tired and world weary, waiting for death to take away his pain. Charles is 90, riddled with drugs to mute his mind, his "super weapon." Despite their friendship their relationship is fractured. Into their lives comes a new mutant and a road trip begins.
I don't want to say much more, having given away a little of the premise already explored in the films trailers. This is a tough, violent and sad film with few moments of humour. There is action but not of the blockbuster kind, one key car chase is like something from a 70's thriller.
This is the swan song of Logan and Charles, both actors giving it their all in their final performances as these characters. To bring them back after this film would undermine their work and the story here.
The film is brilliant and I can't recommend it enough - don't expect a traditional X-Men movie and you will be blown away. If the film itself were a mutant I would say its genes had been spliced with Mad Max and Shane, with a little bit of Children of the Corn (and I mean that in a good way). Excelsior!
The acting is impeccable and the cinematography and directing is truly memorising. However it all feels wasted on such a long, overdrawn and predictable story line. I found myself waiting for it all to end, which it does eventually, just how you thought it would.
The film sits like a memory. It is possible to love your life and also grieve for the life not lived. Perfect.
Fans of the game will find many issues with this movie. This movie was made for people who know about dungeons and dragons only through pop culture shows like strangers things. The producers of the movie openly admitted to emasculating the male characters so that the female characters are uplifted in the movie. I don't understand why you cant let each character reach their potential. How is it the bard did nothing and meanwhile the druid wild shaped 7 times in under a minute? The movie also put a ton of focus on the father daughter relationship between Edgin and Kira. God what a snooze fest. This is something you wouldn't see roleplayed or actually a part of a campaign. The fight at the end was the only redeemable part. It felt true to the speed of a fight in D&D if played out in full speed. Also the staf only had a range of 500 feet but then at end of the movie it conveniently changes to a quarter mile?
why just 71%??? I think this movie is one of the best sequel movies ever made! At lease 8,5/10 great cinematography and brilliant scenes!
You know it's bad when you can't switch off your brain to enjoy the mindless fun because your intelligence is being insulted at every turn.
My birthday wish is that this will be good
All these people claiming this movie doesn’t have enough “equalizing” have a fundamental misunderstanding of The Equalizer. Yes, Robert McCall can be a brutal killer, but he’s also a man on a mission to right wrongs. Whether that is because he is trying to make up for his past or it is his own personal morality isn’t important.
In the first movie he’s a man that has seemingly given up and is ready for death, until he makes a small connection with a troubled girl and decides to make it right. The second movie expands on that as McCall has a taste for the mission and has begun expanding his reach into the community. A true friendly, neighborhood Equalizer, fighting the good fight.
The third movie goes a bit deeper because while McCall is doing all of this work, it is still from the outside. He fights for the community but doesn’t seem to be a part of it. That is what is explored here, and the movie is all the better for it.
A beautifully shot and acted, piece of shit. I would rather die in the apocalypse than watch this again.
So here’s what happened: Some guy played GTA V and his stoned friend, who happened to be a producer, said: Come on, let’s make a movie out of it! I dare you! They laughed, called Michael Bay and the rest is history.
Seriously, the movie makes no sense, is absurd and absolutely senseless. Most of the scenes are just a usual day in GTA. I couldn’t stop laughing at the bs story and absurd „story“. Crank was better because it was funny with a purpose. This is just embarrassing and at the same time it’s not even the worst movie I’ve watched this year.
What a great movie! What movies should be like. This needs to be viewed in theaters! Highly recommend.
Of course there is an ignorant child that ruins everything.
What a waste of time! this movie pretends to have a meaning, but it's only a meaningless garbage, the story goes nowhere.
was good only for 15 minutes short movie
Went in with a open mind, knew nothing about the movie. Just in there for Alexandra Daddario. Some parts were cliched, wouldn't deny that. But the comedy worked. It was not boring, meanwhile it could have definitely been a lot better!
Have nothing to watch? Go for it.
Shoulda been called the Magnificent 7/10
Pretty good movie. It's mainly a drama with comedy sprinkled throughout. Worth a watch.
This may sound heartless, but I did not expect to care about this movie. I was born after Vietnam, I'm not American, I never served and neither did any of my close friends. But this amazing cast elevated it to so much more than a movie about grief about a fallen soldier.
You can see many different things in this movie, but for me it was a movie about friendship. Trying to bond again when that connective tissue you once had is no longer there. Over the course of the road trip Fishburne, Carell and Cranston manage to converge and ultimate rediscover there old friendship, creating one of the most heartwarming stories I've seen recently.
Not to be one of those annoying people, but honestly guys you HAVE TO read the book if you haven’t yet. The movie is great, don’t get me wrong, however, hearing Snow’s thoughts add a whole new perspective.
If you only care about an ending, maybe you should watch some other kind of cinema. There are plenty of choices for you.
If you care about a great script, superb cast and acting, beautiful camera work, intriguing plot, a tension feeling without really knowing what's happening kind of movie, well, this one is for you.
Sam Esmail has delivered a great work here. It ticks all the boxes that you could expect from him.
An ending like this one, is very subjective, but it works perfectly for me. It just feels right. We found out what was really happening, and Esmail put it in a clever and kind of funny way.
Read the synopsis and don't watch the trailer, the less you know about the plot, the better you enjoy it. I loved it.
Finally a movie that is definitely not pc. If you hate the pc culture as I do, you will enjoy this move. :alien:
I loved the movie. The 3 male leads were great. I didn't like Leah at all. Jack didn't have an anger problem until she ended up creating one with her mild victim shaming and over dramatizations.
Indeed, this movie goes nowhere.
