A step down from Lean's previous work, especially plotwise. A married Irish woman having an affair with a British soldier isn't exactly something that warrants much empathy from an audience. Still, it kept me engaged, and for a film of its length (longer than Doctor Zhivago!) that's saying something.
That scene where Hitler and Speer are looking over the model of Berlin... soulcrushing.
Almost certainly Tarantino's best effort.
Far too referential and self aware for my taste. I can't help but think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I knew nothing about its influences. I usually find color in film to be optional, but this is one of the few instances where I feel like the greyscale sequences were an actual downgrade.
Every major actor in this flick speaks fluent english. So that's an improvement, I guess.
Whoever scored this flick must have a dent in their head. Lackadaisical techno for high paced action scenes? What were they thinking?
Godzilla, now a hero to Japanese children everywhere, must fight a trash monster from the sea. Yeah. On paper this one has the markings of another "bad" Showa-era Godzilla flick, save for one factor: psychedelia.
This is where the Godzilla franchise officially dropped acid. It's fuckin' nuts and I love every second of it.
This has quickly become one of my favorite Scorsese films. The first time I saw it I didn't like it. The second time I liked it quite a bit more, and since then I've found myself coming back to it again and again. I get why a lot of people didn't love it, but I find it to be an oddly cozy film. Some people sit back with an Agatha Christie novel or an episode of Columbo for their fix of comforting violence, I rewatch The Irishman.
Where the 2nd Matrix film benefited from leaning into the goofy, video game-style action, in this one that all works to its detriment. A surprisingly boring movie considering how action-packed it is.
It has some moments of shear brilliance, but is far too bloated for its own good.
The final line made me laugh harder than I've laughed at anything for as long as I can remember.
I suppose it can be a bit of a patience tester, but this is really a lovely film. Captures the human spirit as well as anything.
I guess it's OK? First act was a lot better than the 2nd and 3rd. Action scenes were just kinda lame. The bullet time and black trench coats were really more cringe worthy than anything. Reminds me a bit of the fourth Alien movie.
Look how they massacred my boys
Great 80s action schlock. Love it.
Still flawed, but this is Cronenberg coming into his own. His first film that is actually enjoyable.
What should have been an improvement on Stereo is actually a downgrade.
One of Troma's more impressive productions. Good fun.
I don't even really think of this as a Lee movie, but he's in it so much it's hard to get past that. The fight scenes are still pretty good, though not very "Lee-like". The fight in the nightclub where "Bruce Lee" kicks out the light was pretty slick, and somewhat smart given the circumstances.
I don't hate this one like a lot of people do, but it's very, very flawed and would have been better if it just didn't have "Bruce Lee" in it.
Probably my favorite thing RLM ever made. Brings me back to my childhood and teenage years making schlock in my parents' backyard. Good shit.
I guess I'm glad it exists. There were some alright moments, the raid sequence set to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was pretty slick. In general though, I just didn't love it. At the absolute best I would describe it as "more of the same", but it really isn't the same. It's a lot less.
An incredibly flawed movie, but when it's good it's great. Some of the highest highs of any Bruce Lee flick, but some of the lowest lows as well.
Feels like an early '70s TV flick, were it not for the nudity. Probably the weakest of the bunch.
Bro, this shit fucking sucks.
A standout early Kurosawa film. I enjoyed this one quite a lot.
Weaker Kurosawa, but still enjoyable.
I thought it was alright, but Sean Connery looks a bit like Rowan Atkinson in this one and I can't get it out of my head that this is just a Johnny English movie played straight.
There's some great imagery in this one. That scene of Dracula waking up with his eyes a solid red is iconic. Just an alright Hammer Dracula film otherwise.
The finale is really the highlight of this flick. Well worth the buildup.
There's some good ideas here, but it's a hard film to love. Great as a curiosity, but very flawed.
