All in all, I enjoyed this movie.
King Shark is hilarious with his childlike antics and mentality. The ongoing competition between Bloodsport and Peacemaker is brilliant and leads us wonderfully into some very Tarantino-esque splatter-friendly kill scenes.
Introductions to the characters’ backstories helps delve into their psyches and why they are as broken as they are.
Another wonderful portrayal from Margot - although a shame they removed her Rotten tattoo on the cheek. But on the flip side, a nice nod to how she no longer belongs to Joker on the shoulder tat.
I feel that Clifford Devoe didn’t really include much thinking so felt a touch let down by that character.
I was utterly surprised by how much I loved Polka Dot Man.
Another incarnation of the Dirty Dozen with a specific humor. What more could you possibly want from a twisted action movie? :)
I agree with those who say that it is a good mix Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool. Has post-credits scene
I did not expect this movie to be as entertaining as it was. I had always thought Chris Pratt and the rest of the Guardians actors were the only reason those movies were so good but man was I wrong! Gunn has now taken two superhero groups that were not expected to produce blockbuster movies like the Avengers, Justice League, Fantastic Four or X-Men because of their lack of popularity and knocked them out of the park! I'd like to see what he could do with a premiere superhero team like X-Men or Fantastic Four. They both need a reboot and he would be a great choice to take one of them over!
This was a goofy, gory, and surprisingly fun mess of awesome. The 2 hours and 15 minutes flew by. The majority of the jokes land, the violence is appropriately bonkers, the twists neither brain-dead dumb nor too out of left field. And the cast (and guest appearances) are perfect in their roles. The action set pieces totally work and the final big bad is perfectly ludicrous. I genuinely would put this towards the top of DC's crop of superhero films and think it should be supremely enjoyable for all superhero and action fans.
this movie takes every absolutely stupid and ridiculous superhero trope and subverts it into something entertaining and nonstop fun. is it a masterpiece? not really, but then again no comics movie is (unless it's into the spiderverse then fuck you it's perfect and gamechanging and has a superhero pig how dare you). but it's pure entertainment, for a straight two hours and some change. even in the emotional moments and brutal gore scenes, this movie is a cinematic delight.
i hope this and the success of snyder's dc entries show producers that good directors know what they're doing. let them do what they fucking want, pay their immensely skilled and underappreciated teams to make the final cuts look the way they've been envisioned, and you'll get people watching your content.
like the only reason i'm still paying for hbo max every month even during a career switch is for the ability to see people get to make this kind of shit.
What a fun ride. I enjoyed every bit of it.
This film was kinda a mess but I still really enjoyed it. There was kind of no structure, it was very predictable, and a lot of characters had very forced in backstory exposition. But the film had charm, and that held it all together. As long as you like the characters, you'll like the film.
Also Polka-Dot Man is incredible and I love him.
Just balls to the wall fun. A reminder of how fun superhero movies can be when a director can have actual control, do their thing, and not worry about continuity or studio branding. I hollered at Starro, teared up over some rats, laughed at Cena, and I'll watch and enjoy Elba in anything. Robbie gets some good stuff here, even if it's not Birds of Prey level. With a stellar cast, creative fight scenes, and an eye for entertainment, it's a nice remedy for the same-y superhero movies we've been stuck with.
Beautifully made. Coherent and comedic unlike its predecessor. Wasn’t familiar with most of the characters but loved them nonetheless! Harley’s plot development was unexpected yet smooth. :) Epic movie. Polka Dot Man deserved better though. </3
Gunn really took the “your mom” jokes to a new level
this movie is ridiculous and I love it
On the surface this film is about a group of people who have been labelled “villains”, working together to save the world. But really, this film is about one man and one man alone, he isn’t strong, but yet he defies all odds and sacrifices his life to save his friends. His only power is his bravery, he is the driver of the van and the main character of this film, Milton.
I am so sick of films like this getting comments of 'all men = bad' as if for decades women haven't had to put up with the role being reversed. They also seem to forget that the main character is Harley Quinn. She is far from being a saint, she's an anti-hero and she's not wearing her good girl pants in this one.
I just love this movie. It is completely flawed from the get go based on the still present misconception that humans only use 10% of their brain despite evidence to the contrary for decades. Yet the art used to tell the story is truly wonderful. Maybe it is because Luc Besson has far more talent in artistic storytelling than so many other directors that the plot holes and other faults are not even really relevant. This is artistic science fiction (actually more sci-fi than science fiction) and is absolutely wonderful.
The only thing this movie is good for is prompting discussion. It raises a lot of interesting questions and presents a compelling "worst case scenario", but instead of properly exploring that, it seemingly embraces it. It's like the the writer failed to understand the moral of their own story.
Definitely an amazing movie !
I'm not a Marvel fan, nor even watched Avengers... I didn't even watched previous Holland's Spider movies...
I watched this with my girlfriend and I do enjoyed this film !
I almost cried when Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) appeared ! WOW it was such a magical moment, can't believe it, one more scene, just one more of him !
love andrew garfield’s peace sign before disappearing :sob::sob::sob:
also MATT MURDOCK?? BRIC!!
Andrew’s Peter being sad about Gwen but not really talking about it hits hard and you can feel the emotions
I think this movie was great, I don’t understand why it had low ratings at all.
It’s a long movie but I didn’t find myself bored at any point. Lots of people in the cinema were laughing at the funny bits too.
There’s some great new characters and you feel for them all. Also I find it nice to see that Angelina Jolie isn’t cast as the main character, as you’d kind of expect with a big name like that. She did a great job in her role, but it was nice to be able to see the other lesser known actors shine.
Im excited to see what else is to come from the Eternals.
To be enjoyed like a long, rambling fantasy novel -- not like a punchy action flick (though it is sometimes also that).
Eternals really changed the whole MCU. This is a new take on a whole new mcu film without the same old formula. And I kinda like how divisive and deep, dark they went for this. There's so much complexity in each character that I know people can identify with, it's everything the other mcu films could've been. Fuck rotten tomatoes.
"What ever happened to Free Will?"
This is a fun movie. I had no idea it was a story written by Philip K. Dick, but that makes sense. If there was something I could change it would be so that we could dig into the Adjustment Bureau itself just a little more because it is such an interesting idea. Damon and Blunt are cute and charming together and makes sense why he would do anything for her.
Seriously. How stupid do they think viewers are?!
I understand that superhero movies need to have outside of the box content, be daring, and impulsive. But my red line is as soon as your intelligence is insulted.
So the Red Room that no one was able to find for so many years, was just a few thousands of feet in the air??!!!
Are you saying that this floating monstrosity was never seen, detected, by naked eyes, satellite, planes, etc. And was just hiding behind some clouds ?!!
Hollywood movies are becoming more stupid by the day, and that's only because their American viewers are receptive to it.
Thank you Scarlett Johansson and Cate Shortland for an amazing movie with emotions, laughter and kick ass action.
I actually really liked it.
