I liked the first movie, too, and I liked this one too. The acting was excellent, it was very good that the woman took her revenge on the man and then saved the other women. A different action in every scene. It's one of the rare movies I watch without ever getting bored. They did a very successful job. The peach tree in the last scene was a bit strange, but if we didn't think about it, it was fine. In short, an excellent production. Thank you for everyone's efforts. They did a good job.

I don't think I'll ever be able to eat a peach in the same way again.
Maybe the next installment in this franchise will give us the backstory of the guitar warrior from Fury Road.
Is this one of Conner4real's various accounts? if so, your music rips bruh.
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.

Oh man, I had forgotten all about John Carter. Now that I think back on it there are some similarities in the lack of soulful world building here. Or Jupiter Acending. There is a other which fits in with these, though at least with that movie I actually laughed throughout at it's more ridiculous moments.

VIP8Between this and Cherry, it’s becoming more and more clear that the MCU’s best director is called Kevin Feige.
Netflix clearly spent a lot of money on this, you can feel the price of your subscription going up with every new set piece that’s introduced, but the end results are still unforgivingly bland and generic nonetheless.
It’s their attempt to compete with Bond, Bourne or Mission Impossible, but if anything this feels like a poser imitation of those superior blockbuster franchises. The plot is in fact literally ripping off both Skyfall and The Bourne Identity at the same time, but forgets about any of their depth in regards to story and character.
The Russos are clearly trying to recapture that same tone and spark from their Captain America: The Winter Soldier days, but they end up making something that’s more akin to the quality of Red Notice.
In terms of directing they kinda got outdone by their own second unit director with his Netflix action flick, as I’d argue that Extraction is a marginally better film than this.
The action’s poorly done and cheaply put together, lots of annoying editing choices (heavy overuse of drone shots, quick cuts and can the Russos pick a normal font for once?), corny dialogue, distractingly bad CGI, boring visuals and music (why is everything so low contrast, foggy and muddy?); not a lot to recommend about this one.
The acting’s fine, Evans is having a blast, but I have absolutely no idea why an extremely picky actor like Ryan Gosling chose this script in the first place. It seems like a paycheck movie for someone of his caliber. Just watch The Nice Guys instead of this if you want to see Goose in an action comedy, we don’t need these 200 million dollar direct to streaming action films.4/10

I can't believe I am actually admitting this, but I actually had fun with Red Notice and Ghosted for what they were. This movie was absolutley terrible.
The idea of a child beeing born on Mars sounded intriguing. So the movie starts interesting but quickly turns into a generic love story with a predictable plot and a forseeable ending. That needn´t be a bad thing but what didn´t make this work for me is the whole setup. The story supposedly takes place in 2034 and it doesn´t show. People are driving decade old cars for instance. And it seems to be pretty easy to just steal cars everywhere and drive around in them from state to state without beeing spotted althought they seem to have pretty good sattelite surveillance. I know that´s not the point of the story but you could have told it pretty much in any time period one way or the other. If the SciFi part doesn´t add anything to it beside the distance why use it at all? That all aside technically this is a nice movie. But, as I said, for me that is like getting an empty present.

Not that this isn't a really cute movie, because it is, a real coming of age crossed with ET sort of premise but I was immediately taken out of the movie by the fact that people are texting and communicating between Mars and Earth and there isn't a 15 minute delay. This is 2019 and everyone even kids today understand how this works. Also this team brought back a child born on Mars and this isn't the biggest news in the world? It took multiple countries to come together to get the ISS going; I sincerely doubt that by 2034 there will be a superpower with enough infrastructure to send people to Mars and keep any secrets from other countries. I mean by then either we'll be working together as a planet or we will have had WW3. So there are some real science foul ups which, like the old cars you pointed out, probably belong somewhere in 90's cinema but all in a all a solid enough teeny movie in the background while I was washing the dishes.

VIP8I've seen this movie 3 times now and have a ticket purchased for Wednesday night again in the Dome. I LOVE IT. Favorite movie of the year and well on it's way to one of my faves of all time. The music wonderful, the cinematography is gorgeous, the script is hilarious and everything just keeps moving. I love every single scene. I think it has the chance to be the fourth movie ever to win Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress and Actor. Man, is this amazing!!!! See immediately then buy the soundtrack!!!!
UPDATE: Saw it for the 6th time yesterday at the Chinese Theater in IMAX. I. Still. Love. This. Movie. !!!!!!
UPDATE: Took my fam to see it the other night for #7. Still great!
UPDATE: Saw this last night at the Hollywood Bowl, making it my 8th time on the big screen. And I gotta say, my friend and I had an epic epic nightmare of a battle making it to the show and we were 20 minutes into movie when we got there but this movie is so special and spectacular it got us out of our funk instantly. Love it! Then I went home and watched it on blu-ray to hear the commentary man oh man I love this movie. Okay done with updates now that it's on home vid.
