Hilariously terrible dialogue, infinite plot holes, macguffins and continuity errors. But that’s not what people watch this for anyway. Good action, a tad overlong. Go in knowing what you are getting into and it will be fun.
I saw an early release of this in a theatre, yesterday. The art work is amazing. The attention to all the history of the canon was admirable and the imagination of what could be was unmatched. BUT it was chaotic, so much happening at once, dialogue cascading over other dialogue, images flashing by so rapidly there could be little appreciation of the panoramic art and world building. It all became a blur. The worse sin in my eyes was that there was never a clear direction for the primary story arc. All the little origin stories that were included interrupted the basic story (was there really one?), so much so that when they returned to the narrative they repeatedly had the repeat the salient points of the narrative in a lot of mini-synopses. And the final insult was that it was TO BE CONTINUED. This movie needed a narrative edit and a completed story line. The chaos made the action cheap and at times boring. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Marvel Superhero Action Adventure]
This is just a movie about a movie about a play about a play. And that's where the disappointment lies.
There's no arch. No heroes or foes. No obstacles to overcome. Nothing gets solved, and there's no real payoff. It's just a story within a story within a story and you the audience is expected to marvel at how terribly clever it is. It's incredible clever. But it's not very watchable.
Ultimately it's just a series of scenes, one after another, that you don't care about.
A lot of people saying it is better than Crystal Skull, and they are just in denial. It’s not offensively bad or anything, it’s just boring and a chore to get through. There was legit a point about 3/4s through the movie that I had to remind myself that it was an Indiana Jones movie because I forgot why I was watching it. Dr. Jones got a fine ending in the last one and there really is no reason for them to force this old man to wear his fedora and get the whip back out, this is abuse.
I like Wes Anderson. In fact Life Aquatic is one of my favorite movies and I love Moonlight Kingdom. Asteroid City unfortunately was unwatchable and my honey and I agreed to turn it off after about 15 minutes. Hopefully Wes is not senile and will get his mojo back with the next one… What kind of bird are you?
Awful movie.
It's not clever at all. In fact, it's a very basic movie with a bad and overly simplistic story, bad and very flat acting, awful pacing and considering the "puzzles" and the plot twists are also awful - the movie just get boring.
The ending is also annoying in that it pushes christian values and vilifies others.
I have not read the books, and maybe they are better, but this movie is just bad in almost every way. Avoid.
Sarah might be the single worst contestant I have ever seen on a reality strategy show. Thankfully Camille stopped up from the worst possible ending with an all-timer TV moment
Blake and Camille have got to be stupidest people I can think of, there is no way Sam was ever going to share. They could have easily voted him out instead of Sarah.
Just watched Halloween for the first time and... it’s okay. Obviously I’m sure it was more revolutionary when it came out, but it does not stand the test of time. The directings okay, the acting is subpar, the plot is shallow, and, in my opinion, it wasn’t scary. 5/10 for me.
It starts pretty interesting. Then it gets boring. Then it gets freaking annoying.
Fairly intriguing with a suspenseful reveal at the end. Looks of the movie were top notch.
Excellently played by Camille, she couldn't win and knew she was being brought to the final as a goat. It was the best play available to her, Sam was rightfully burned.
This show just shows how easy it is to manipulate people with talk of charity and friendship
Sarah and Liam They were the worst possible in the series
Sam was good entertainment, but such a punchably smug face.
I'd be interested to see how someone with actual people watching and body language skills would do in this. Step one - don't stare at the person speaking, but watch how others are reacting. Amateur hour.
Pretty frustrating how Laurie puts down the knife right next to Michael and sits and waits next to him instead of … idk maybe getting the fuck out of that house already
A complete waste of time.
People expecting a similar vibe to "My Name is Earl" or "Raising Hope" will be... I won't say "disappointed", but surprised. "Sprung" has the DNA of those shows in it's humor, but it feels much more subdued, and far more cinematic. There isn't whimsical incidental music, and the jokes aren't thrown at the viewer in a lightning fast manner. But that's not a bad thing, I really dig the vibe of this show so far. It does suck to sort of re-live the early stages of the pandemic through this show, but I understand that it's crucial to the storytelling.
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?
NOTE FOR MYSELF SO I REMEMBER SOMEDAY, ONLY REPRESENTS MY OPINION/THOUGHTS FOR MYSELF NOT A “REAL REVIEW“, SO YOU MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH IT
(also its not my 1st language)
how did that movie get a 7.7 imbd rating???
movies like this are the reason why I dont like the horror genre, its just so dumb.
Ofc the kid only starts screaming after the Killers gone so she can say theres no one there, not turning on the lights and rather walking in the dark when hearing a weird noise, her only stabbing him once and not making sure hes dead/tie him etc and turning her back to him and just sit there so he can dramatically rise from the dead and all that stupid shit are reasons why I cant with horror movies, its always the same. Sure there a a few good horror movies but for me those are the exception.
Very boring movie, apart from the typical dumb behavior it also has no real story or substance, dont understand how this turned into a kult franchise, maybe with 45 years after release Im just too late.
The only good thing of this movie is the theme song (and I think P.J. Soles nipples too) but that song begin to annoy when you heard again and again and again and again and again and again in every scene of this trash shitty film.
This movie stole my money. It stole all our money. Stop rating it so high.
