I can’t begin with to tell you how dumb this movie is. About half way through i decided I had been subjected to enough of the terrible story and turned it off. Don’t waste your time on this.
Pretty good movie. It's mainly a drama with comedy sprinkled throughout. Worth a watch.
A fun "whodunit" that offers little to write home about. Though Death on the Nile is quite lively and enjoyable, I'm afraid the story and most of its performances are quite forgettable. Honestly, I have little bad to say about the film, but I also have little to rave about, and I believe many people will feel this same way.
I think I get it! The snails are supposed to represent the snail-like pacing of this awful movie.
Sure, it's beautiful. That's said. But what else ? Not much.
The story itself is a 95% copy of the first one, and can't say it was original either at the time.
There's a whole universe there, but that was what came from the first one. There's basically nothing new here, except what they once did in the forest they now do in the water. It basically brings nothing new. Even the bad guys, that were dead, are the same.
Instead of soldiers we mostly follow the adventures of the kids, which adds a lot of annoying stupidity to what happens.
The only "new" thing the movie brings might be what's happening with Kiri, but it's obviously been kept for future releases and barely scratched here.
Is it at least entertaining ? Meh. It could have been, but EVERYTHING is too long. You could cut 5 to 10 minutes of absolutely every single sequence. All of them, be they exposition, adventure, contemplation or even action scenes. Everything is too long.
Like when you're trying to make an omelet but it's too hard so you say "Fuck it," and make scrambled eggs instead.
The way they pushed everything to the end and then blew the ending...
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.
An interesting premise and a great cast can't save this movie from being a bore. There's never any real reason to root for anyone and there is hardly any action to keep you entertained. I did enjoy seeing so many different pairings of the big cast. Jodie Foster and Dave Bautista should do another movie together. The few sci-fi elements were cool to see. I wish I liked it more than I actually did.
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.
They made a 2 hour movie from a 90 min story.
To long and gets boring pretty fast.
This the definition of an average movie. Good enough to not be bored for 90 minutes. Bad enough that afterwards you'll forget everything about it because nothing actually interesting happened.
Shoulda been called the Magnificent 7/10
There is nothing original or remarkable in this movie. It's an honest action movie that doesn't try to be anything else. The cast is clearly what pulls you into this movie. A little bit less running time would have helped the pace as it drags a little bit after they went down with the helicopter. The ending was a bit dissapointing . Soundtrack is really good, though. Overall a good "7", something you can watch once.
Mads is great. Some of the action is decent. Overall the movie tries too hard. It wants to be stylish but ends up being weird.
I should’ve listened to the reviews. It was a stupid, pointless, waste of time, nothing explained, some movie maker getting hard on over piece of pretentious piss of shit art movie.
Trust the negative Reviews, this is a shite movie.
You will waste 1.5 hours of your life you will not get back.
One man show. Hanks is doing great but the movie is not so powerful at all. It is another ordinary post-apocalyptic movie with acceptable CGI, less action but a humanistic story. I must say the story is below my expectation. Only friendship of a robot and a dog can not save a whole movie. I would give 5/10 or 6/10 if Hanks was not at the headline but it's now 7 of 10.
R I P robin williams :(
Never would I have thought a Godzilla movie would be so emotional and deep. Def a must see movie for the year
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.
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.
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 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
@nmahoney416 Did you notice the picture in the beginning of the movie with the father and daughter in front of the high school? The high school is the “home of the catfish” :)
My head is literally in pain from this film...I'm left feeling empty. If you asked me what I just witnessed in these past 2 hours, I honestly couldn't describe what took place. The entire thing felt like a bunch of messy jump-cut, foggy action sequences stacked up on top of eachother with NO character substance or plot to hold it together. The writing was terrible and insanely cliche, there was no depth, and absolutley nothing to be taken from watching this. Oh and in addition - the use of that soundtrack - terrible, sad such a good song like Heathens is even a part of the franchise. Wish they had spent more money building the storyline and chracters (WHO HAD PROMISE WITH THE RIGHT WRITING) than promoting the shell it became...
You know this is Cinema when the movie makes you cry over rocks.
Critique put me off watching this for a while, dumbest decision I've ever made.
This film was great, plain and simple. It's dark and full of action. The flashbacks are a nice change for introducing the origin story. And I thought they cast Superman perfectly, great actor and is practically the spitting image of Christopher Reeve.
Best adaptation of the Superman story since the originals, loved it.
Movies like this are the reason I watch movies. The film doesn't promise you anything, and the plot sounds kind of silly. It even starts out a little weak, but it draws you in and doesn't let go, and by the end you don't even care that you just watched a movie that all took place in a small room. Amazing film.
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.
Guns, a lot of guns
