The movie was good but the pacing is kinda awkward, sometimes it feels rushed (part 1) and sometimes it feels slow (part 3). Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth made a great performance but I would have loved to see more of Peter Dinklage.
I quite liked the movie.
Kind of reminds me of Bond movies: A lot of stuff that doesn't really make sense if you think about it.
But its cheesy and fun - not to be taken too serious. And at that it excells.
The description of the movie is however a bit odd - where does she come into conflict with the soviet union? The whole movie was about Cheetah.
Did they forget to put a new description out after they scrapped an overloaded script?
All in all I think its a great example how you can write a female led action movie without going overboard with issues.
Its a breathe of fresh air in an oversensiticed world.
P.S.: A few years back this would probably have got a 7/10 from me, but after Disasters like Charlies Angels (only one amongst many) I feel I have to give extra credit for female led (and directed) movies not making people feel bad for the gender and color of skin they are born with (I phrased it this way intentionally!)
I thought it was pretty neat. It's not Endgame, but it's not trying to be. It's a pretty small, kinda old-school self-contained superhero movie that doesn't do much to heavily worldbuild. It doesn't even have a post-credits scene with Sam L Jackson. But I thought it was pretty neat for what it is.
It was everything they said it would be and then some! Supreme spectacle with otherworldly intensity. Fan first was an experience I’ll never forget. A film for the ages. Long live the fighters!
what an amazing experience. Those 3 hours just flew by and it ended with me wanting more
BRING ON THE HOLY WARS!!!!
This is Cinema. I guess this is what older people were feeling when movies like Star Wars the original trilogy or LOTR were airing. This movie is going to be generational defining and I am glad that I am a fully grown adult with opinions and taste to really see how good this movie is
Love the layers in this movie. Couldn't stop thinking about it after I left. I've seen it twice already. In fact, as I was leaving the theater, I saw myself going in and thought, "Man, he is going to love this!"
Movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Treat it like an origin story movie that sets the scene for a larger universe...
Yes, first hour is pretty slow and at times the dialogue is clunky but you can still find enjoyment out of the film.
I havent applauded so much in a movie before. Wow this is a fun movie batfleck is in his best performance as Batman and I’m not going into details with all the cameos. Bravo. Can’t wait to see the end credits scene since wasn’t available at the test screening but I would definitely watch it again right now. Now can we have justice league 2 please.
A step up from the previous instalment. Fantastic Beasts the Secrets of Dumbledore is more politically charged and romantic and the beasts are well used here, however the franchise still lacks the magic of the Harry Potter series.
Not a Dc fan, but the four main characters just nailed it. Liked this one a lot better than the first one in every way. It started slow but in the end the whole movie felt complete. Enjoyed it a lot.
9/10
I was totally engulfed in this film. Everything about it was well done. There was incredible character development, well-executed plot, and honestly an enjoyable world. There were multiple 'Inception' moments and SO many references to pop culture and the gaming world.
I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary on today's culture, and where we are going, taken to the extreme. It was neat to see the players who met online, meet in person and continue being friends, despite everyone being different in person. I really enjoyed that message as a gamer myself. Also funny to see commentary on corporate culture trying to take over any power available anywhere (in this case, a hobbyist gaming community.) Various good messages and insights on what the world has become/is becoming.
SUPER ENJOYABLE.
The most I have smiled in any Marvel movie. So many things to grin stupidly about.
Timothee Chalamet absolutely won over my heart with this one. When I was growing up I loved both renditions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so when I heard they were making a prequel I was definitely intrigued. This was everything my heart could want and more, the songs were sombre and bittersweet - like something out of your childhood dreams. The acting was good, corny at times, but it was the sheer wittiness that gave this film its charm. I would definitely recommend checking this out.
I’m surprised at the low ratings for this film, I thought it was excellent.
It’s a simple tale, told well.
Lots of action from start to finish, great acting and production etc.
It’s a 90 minute film, but it seemed to be over very quickly; which shows how involved I was in the story.
It’s different, not predictable and I loved the simplicity of the story.
Great film!
I loved It. It was weird in its own way and it gets away with it. Also, I like the way this superhero is created and 'destroyed'. Incredibly interesting and refreshing IMO.
Way better than many critics have suggested, this has a decent story, great visuals, and a great cast of actors. I'm not really a fan of Dwayne but he foregoes his usual eye brow rising schtick here and delivers a decent performance.
My biggest complaint is that it's hamfisted, but so what? An action movie embracing its best parts and just rolling with the punches instead of being needlessly long trying to explain some of these transitions and motivations? Sign me up for more of that. Black Adam embraces what it is and just dives in head first. It's heavy handed and over the top, and that's hardly a glaring flaw in a super hero movie compared to all of the other things people traditionally get wrong.
It doesn't sacrifice its strengths to satisfy critics, but I think those critics forget why we go to the movies in the first place. The fact that WW1984 is well received and this is not shows the hot mess of priorities these people place on films. This cast was great. The action was fun. The story was straight forward and not bogged down. It was fun.
Let me repeat that, it was fun. And I want more of that.
What a fun ride. I enjoyed every bit of it.
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.
I'm not gonna lie. I initially decided to watch this because I am a complete-ist. It wasn't out of any deep desire to see it, and I had very low expectations as a result. But now, having watched it, it was a LOT funnier and more entertaining than it had any right to be, gore and all. The entire cast does a great job, but none better than Elba, who is pitch-perfect as the VERY angry and put-upon reluctant leader of this band of idiots.
I officially can say that I cried at all the three Guardians movies-- in the cinema!
One thing that really caught my eye was the violence, which I didn't really expect. There wasn't blood per se but the action was violent, with deaths on the "spicy" spectrum, like beheadings (which I liked).
The specials effects were good, the plot was what we (I) needed, and the music absolutely perfect.
The ending was just... someone please give me a hug!
Much better than the initial and critic reviews are making it out to be. The action was fun to watch, the sound design of the fights and music was great. The story was a bit lacking but there were quite a few emotional and impactful scenes, I'd recommend watching it.
Honestly it surpassed my expectations, Black Adam is an action packed movie even though the Justice Society is a bit weak in it. I liked the movie overall, loved Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate and the twist in the story. Simply a bad ass movie and I can't wait until I see Black Adam with Shazam.
Solid 7 out of 10. It's definitely better then the Justice League & Wonder Woman 1984 but not better then Aqua Man or Wonder Woman or Shazam
Stay for the post credit scene you will love it and there is only one 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!
I had very low expectations due to how amazing Gene Wilder was, and how disappointing the reboot was. Taking a different approach, opening up the world, and showing us the beginning, and keeping the magic alive; this film truly defied explanation.
I applaud James Gunn and his team on this trilogy, they end it with an amazing film! I'll miss him and his eccentricities. Watch on the biggest screen possible!
This hand-drawn short film from Studio Ghibli starring Grogu is cute but also kind of trivial. Above all, it is too brief to have anything important to say. But if you have three minutes to spare, watching "Grogu and the Dust Bunnies" is certainly not the worst option.
It's one of those generic movies that works perfectly, even though you know them from memory, it's entertaining, the Amells' acting is well done, the world in which the movie takes place is quite original and the powers sequences looks amazing. I really liked this one.
Nothing groundbreaking, quite predictable, but that doesn't mean it's boring. A lot of action interspersed with a bit of fresh humor thanks to the introduction of Latino culture.
