It's absolutely staggering that this movie was made for less than $15 million. Eat your heart out, Hollywood.
Also, I would 100% watch this if Godzilla wasn't in it. He was cool and all, but everything from the post-war drama to the character writing was so interesting.
I've seen a variety of Godzilla films from every era and Minus One is hands down the best Godzilla movie I've seen yet. The visuals are spot on, they got the classic look of Godzilla but added all of the gravitas and feeling of weight that the guys in suits were always missing.
The music is on point and they make great use of the Godzilla main theme to punctuate certain scenes.
The story is just so good, we really felt the emotion you were meant to feel in each scene. There were moments where my husband and I were both crying in the theater (he was trying to be so stoic but I saw the wiping of manly tears), and then other points where I could see him about bouncing around in his seat with childlike joy at seeing Godzilla being a bad ass on screen. We really appreciated the setting too, post WW2 Japan and seeing the scars and brokenness that left on the people and then to have them face Godzilla in that state of brokenness made the story and the actions of the humans feel even more heroic and meaningful.
This movie will definitely be a must buy for me when it comes to DVD.
Not as good as Tales of the Jedi, but not terrible. It just felt inconsequential.
Hopefully it won't randomly crash to the TV's home screen while watching.
Wow only a 61% rating and it hasn't even been released yet. It's so bad people from the future built a time machine just to travel back to warn us!
This'll go the way of John Carter.
Massive info dump at the start. Cringy dialogue throughout. Every introduction to a new member is the same. Too many things just happen to go just right to make the good guys look good. Like the bird horse thing. It knocks him off and happens to fly in front of him just right for him to jump back on. In slow motion. Which this movie also has a lot of. I'm sure this would be 20 minutes shorter if everything was shown in real time. Also, why does Charlie Hunnam have that horrible Irish adjacent accent?
My favourite genre is scifi fantasy but between this, the Creator and Avatar, I'm getting really tired of being dissapointed.
God the acting is atrocious.
I have no idea what the actor's name is, but the same guy seen in this movie, as the villager with the long hair, sunglasses and white shirt, who takes the pilot prisoner near the beginning of the movie, also has starred in a few awesome epic bug spray commercials from Thailand, most notably as a bad-ass cockroach. It's all I kept thinking about while watching this movie, in every scene he appeared in. I kept seeing him as the giant cockroach, in my head.:D
the only thing this show has going for it, is the fact that it's free of the usual goofy MCU humour. unfortunately, it's also free of a decent pace, dear god, this show is boring
It's an ok show.
For my taste, it was too much like a parody sometimes. Lots of clichés and stereotypes, lots of over the top (quite frankly not very good) acting, lots of dumb jokes.
In this same quick, comedic style, Younger is a much better show. And fashion wise, I'd stick with The Bold Type, or even the timeless Devil Wears Prada.
The potential was there, but the execution was sloppy. I hope they get better writers if it gets picked up for a second season.
Loved it great performance from Emily Blunt and ChaskeSpencer
I watched the first episode out of curiosity, ended up binging the whole thing. There are some clichés, but most of the cheap story beats I've seen coming from a mile away didn't come at all, characters are actually smart, and the setup feels solid with no easy answers that just push the story forward. It is kinda man against world (even tho he has some help), up to a point of taking on a whole squad of trained combatants, but that's acceptable in this kind of TV.
If you have a free weekend, then I can recommend this as a good TV to binge. It works as a single story with no cliffhangers which is rare, but there is an open ending - it's based on the first book in the series that currently has 5, and Pratt himself also said that it'd be cool to continue the series.
You owe it to yourself to feel that open road on a bike at least once in your life
I gave this a chance, so you don't have to.
Follows the now-usual Disney pattern of employing third-rate talent for directing and writing. Not even Ewan McGregor can elevate this to being watchable - he gets nothing to work with. Don't bother with this.
enjoying this so far!!! feels like The Wilds but way darker.
I was excited when I first heard there was a show about a female soccer team lost in the woods eating each other, then disappointed when I found out it was about cannibalism.
Man what a show, Harrelson is great but McConaughey is brillant.
Easily one of the best shows out right now. I'm truly sad it was only 10 episodes but the best shows usually are short just to keep us wanting more. It could be my ties to growing up in the area but the characters and plot were so driven that I was hooked.
Great series - loved the books and the translation to screen works well. Worth the watch if you like old school crime drama
Just recap episodes of the characters journey in the MCU and how it relates to their upcoming MCU Disney+ show. Quite helpful but nothing more than a recap. I was kind of hoping for a doco based episode which touches on the character in the comics and relevant stories that are relevant to this character.
Cute... light... breezy... forgettable... occasionally funny... Brush up on your subtitle reading speed, they talk really fast... ;-)
This is seriously the best thing I've watched in a long time. Sometimes gruesome. Always amazing. It kind of reminded me of "The Princess Bride" meets "The Royals". I binged it and want a LOT more.
As someone who hasn't read the book(s) I get the feeling, that there is information missing.
There are reactions in certain scenes where I don't understand what gets the characters so excited. They act like its obvious, while it isn't for the unknowing viewer.
I have the suspicion, that there is a section in the book explaining the reaction which wasn't translated in the show sometimes.
I don't know if its true, but are the daemons all female? If so, I hope it gets explained why that is (unless I missed it).
Aside from that, great cast, great storytelling and great characters so far - Although I somehow love Marisa best so far, cunning and evil - my kind of woman :)
So, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland create this particular animated series, that gets quite famous.
They need a ridicolous amount of time writing new episodes despite a 70 episode deal they got at one point and I am sure they will never be able to deliver upon just by how much time they need for ten episodes. Then Justin has the "idea" of doing his own animated series that's copying Rick and Morty basically, just without Rick and Morty and without multiverse? Timeline is important here, Wikipedia says, the series was shelved but not for how long.
The art style is the exact same, the randomness and over the top stories are the same, several voices are the same, all that this is lacking is good writing. Solar Opposites, funny name considering the not so much "opposites", is airing on another network. In other words going into competition to R&M. Is this a very elaborate prank from DH and/or JR, even though DH isn't mentioned? Or does Justin want to piss of DH? How's this even legal from a business standpoint?
SO does scratch the R&M itch. But it's nowhere near the greatness of R&M. SO doesn't try as hard, though.
There's almost no continuity. The stories of the main characters are so random, as random as any interdimensional cable episode, there's no point in watching. You could watch any episode in any order you wish, without losing or missing anything regarding the main characters. That makes this series incredibly boring for me personally.
The most interesting subplot, with actual continuity so far that needs a certain episode order, is "The Wall". That part is the best part of this whole season 1 and really a good idea with actual fun, consistent characters. If Cherie survives for revenge in S2 it would make me gladly come back. Other than that I don't particularly care for this to get a second season.
If JR wants to do R&M, he should focus on R&M and push Harmon (and all the other writers) to do more, instead of half-assing his own stuff. Other than that I simply fail to understand why this exists other than to leech off of the success of R&M. Creating an instance of "you like R&M? You must like this, too. It's from one of the creators". But no. I do not like this. I don't hate it, but I certainly do not like it. Would this not rely on so many similarities or be a direct and open spin-off I wouldn't mind, though.
Kristen Schaal should have been cast as the voice of Jesse as well. Mary Mack sounds way too much like her and Schaal's voice would fit that character very well.
Season 2 edit:
Season 2, which is more like S1 Pt 2, has improved on a lot of the early issues.
It's still very episodic without consequences but the stories and the chaotic energy of Roiland seem to fit and work a lot better in these 8 episodes. Korvo, the most unlikable of the aliens, tones down his Jerry-ness by not being constantly obnoxious. Glad they do go forward with evolving Pupa and the Wall substory was - again - the best part of these episodes with S02E07 the best episode of this show so far. Absolutely great how that turned out. Going to bump this from a 4 to 5. First 8 episodes are meh at best (excluding anything Wall related, those parts are a 7 at worst and 9 at best), later 8 episodes are okay and overal more entertaining.
I was looking forward to an R-rated Harley Quinn show. Like Deadpool, the rating would allow the character to be fully realized. But, the final product just seems to be a hot mess that appears it was written by a teenager who is just copying what others have done better in the past. The show starts off really laying on the feminist message that men are dumb egocentric idiots, and women are superior. This is beat into the view from the moment the show starts and becomes almost unbearable during the second episode, not until you get past episode three, does it becomes slightly more tolerable. The humor falls flat as most of the jokes are not funny, and the overuse of ultra-violence is unnecessary and feels out of place. Speaking of the violence, except for a few scenes, most of the action involves men getting killed and mutilated for no reason other than for the sake of women empowerment.
The cast does their job, Kelly Cucco brings her energy to the role but nothing new. She doesn’t even bother with an accent like all other Harley Quinn’s in the past have. This makes me feel like I am watching Penny from BBT, in cosplay. The best part of this show is Poison Ivy. Her friendship with Harley and her relationship with a villain called Kiteman shows that the show does have something it can offer other than the caper of the week non-funny violence fest that we have. DC, if you choose to renew this show for season two, please focus more on the inter-group relationships and less on the Ultra-feminist message and do not go for an R-rating just for the rating. Let the show and story justify the R-rating.
It seems like it was written by an 11 year old at best. They through in some profanity to make it rated R. VERY HARD TO WATCH.
