A comedy should be judged by if you laugh. A horror movie should be judged by if it is frightening. If this movie was judged by its ability to put an audience to sleep, it would be great. It's a horror movie, though, so a fail. I'm not saying I saw the end coming, but all the characters acted like they were just serving the plot instead of being actual people. Toni Collette's performance (or was it the script?) was incredibly uneven as she moved from unaffected to completely traumatized...sometimes within the same sequence. I actually liked the final story reveal and it was certainly built throughout. The problem is it took forever to get there and I hated every character so much, I couldn't care less if they lived or died. Garbage that every critic wanted to use "heightened" in a review will be lining up to kiss its ass. Here's the thing...my theater was full and never even a gasp. Did hear one dude snoring, though. See at your own risk.
Ok this episode was total crap. Reacher stands out in the open and calls out for the bad guy who could be hiding anywhere and shoot him from any angle. Then the helicopter comes in with a gunman shooting an AK or something similar and again Reacher goes out in the open with his pistol and has a shootout with the guy? Then the cop walks out in the open straight towards the bad guys? That’s just so stupidly unrealistic. No trained officer would do that. He would run from cover to cover and try and flank them or at least come at a diagonal. Was I asleep during the first 13 episodes or did the action sequences just become very stupid?
Bullet through the heart and lungs but can still talk, movie magic y’all!
Because Natasha is always described as this awesome super spy, I really thought this movie would be kind of an over-the-top James Bond movie. I mean, you've got a Soviet Big Bad Guy with an evil lair and evil plan, like in the old school Bond films. I was very happy early on in the movie, with the Soviet agents couple undercover in Ohio, and then when Nat tries to lay low after Civil War. But then it switched from a potentially cool spy movie (and original for a Marvel) to a classic super hero movie.
So instead we got an over-the-top Agents of SHIELD episode. Every hero is sub-par, except Taskmaster, which doesn't even get that much screen time. The second most powerful hero, Red Guardian, is ridiculed all the time and doesn't really have an opportunity to shine. I thought the prison escape would be that. I mean, Netflix did a crazy good prison fight scene in The Punisher, but Marvel couldn't even remotely top that in a huge production? Very disappointed by all the missed opportunities.
"The amazing trio of fucked up brothers". For a moment, a very brief moment, I believed that they were really going to unite to "save" the company, but I realized that they would not last and never did. perpetuating these power games.
To Shiv and Roman with their affectionate moment realized that they are broken and Ken, unfortunately, was unable to realize that.
I felt like I was seeing my family come together and I had a huge blow to see that fight - especially with Kendall like that, falling off the building without having thrown himself.
And in the end, the succession went to the most unpredictable, but clear that it could and, perhaps, should be him. Tom finally got the Empire of the Roys without being a Roy.
End of season 10/10 Thank you, HBO.
Terribly boring. Doubt I’ll continue past episode 2. Just uninteresting and not funny.
update: watched the entire series.
still uninteresting, still not funny, the only thing worse than this in the MCU is Captain Marvel
This movie is just as good as you would expect a movie titled baby driver would be.
The plot is incredibly foreseeable, the characters aren't that interesting, and the whole backstory as to how the main character baby ended up in this position was incredibly far fetched. But the movie isn't all bad, it has some great action scenes, and the way music is used is down right genius. The plot may be terrible, but i would still recommend watching the movie purely for its soundtrack. The songs were great, and it was such big part of the story, i loved the scenes in which they synced the beats up with the gun shots. Sadly i can't rate it higher than a 5 overall.
Two :v: hour waste of time from my perspective.
I just watched this for the first time. I cried like a small child through the whole "I could have got more" scene.
This movie is heartbreakingly perfect.
Like an orgy: lots of action and sensations, though a bit messy and will leave you feeling empty and under-satisfied when you're done.
Those of you who loved the charm and comedy of the first Ant-Man are going to be as let down as a Chinese weather balloon.
Nancy and Jonathan do not have chemistry. It’s exhausting that I have to suffer through this forced romance.
I was in denial. I thought it was some cruel prank. Only until I saw his head and chest did I think it might be real, even, even then I was in denial.
A legendary episode of TV in general. Shocking in how raw it was and how you went along with the family. How easy it would have been to show this from Logan's point of view and have the generic death... even if it were dramatic. No, instead we went along with the ride and experienced it like they would have. Brutal. This deserves awards.
Now for the drama between the kids for the money and power. I'll miss Logan... but maybe he has tricks up his sleeve even in death...
wow they are running out of ideas to how to use the whole thirty minutes. The 4th wall break would have been funny if it wasn't the only thing that was happening all the time.
Am I the only one who thought they were gonna make Loki fall in love with himself or in this case herself? I mean that's one way of showing his narcissistic personality.
This is getting better by the minute and more intense….those 2 are nothing but power together!!!
This won't win an Emmy but let us have our guilty pleasure. All we want is a semi intelligent story and some action and boy did it deliver.
I've seen worse. But it's not good, and it doesn't remotely resemble the source material. It's a PG-13 comfortably dumb movie and it suffers from its shackles. Carnage is hammy and goofy rather than sadistic and maniacal. Not recommended.
John Krasinski has proven to have a decent level of craftsmanship behind the camera but this movie proves that he should be kept away from screenwriting.
I’m really surprised at a lot of the positive reviews because the plotting and beats in this movie are super dumb. There is a small hint at the level we are working at when we are with Krasinski on “Day 1” where we get a small peek at life before the aliens came and they make a choice to drop in an Easter egg reference to the toy spaceship that gets his child killed from the first one. It’s a seemingly innocuous little call back, foreshadow, wink, knudge, whatever, but it is a perfect example of the types of choices made in this movie. I mean not to ruin anything but essentially an alien pilots a boat in this film. Overall it just bugged me.
While it's not a bad action / adventure movie, I just don't get why a lot of people think this is one of best movies of this genres! For me it is a mediocre action flick!
As someone who speaks Portuguese (BR), it's sucks that they speak english as if was portuguese, but other than that, great beginning.
A full writers room thinks that state of the art surface to air missiles are just delivered by some random trucker completely by himself.
If anyone is wondering why this is a lovefest for this terrible episode, just know that trakt is actively deleting any negative comments. Even ones that aren't in anyway offense. I know because it happened to me, and has been happening more and more lately.
As my previous comment mentioned, This was a poor filler episode.
I think I must have missed the announcement that there's gonna be one more season after this. I was under the impression that this was the final season, and the super long episodes made me convinced of that even more. I could have sworn I had read that this was supposed to be the end. I watched this entire season thinking the show was coming to an end, and now I've just watched this 2.5 hour long episode thinking it was a series finale, and honestly, I was left feeling very underwhelmed at it. I was thinking "Why haven't they actually wrapped anything up?" then I come on here and read comments to find that there's actually still one more season to go. I guess I'm kinda happy that they're gonna do another season, since that means they'll actually wrap some of this stuff up. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish this was the last season.
Awful writing, terrible acting, boring played-out story. I will say the cinematography and camera work was well done and made the movie finish-able. But trust me, I couldn't wait til it ended. There was no suspense, they didn't develop scares, and for a gory film..... it could've used more creative gore. A waste of time, unfortunately. I'm not sure what the people giving this movie good reviews are measuring this against, Sharknado?
The whole Bob situation was so obvious. I saw that coming from a mile away.
The episode is boring, and flash back would have been better for a simple duration of 15 minutes to 20 minutes only, without going into many details that take up the episode time, which we have been waiting for a whole week.
I can't rate the episode more than 3/10
Snoozefest. mother! 2. The way people were talking about this movie like it was the scariest thing ever in the world is just insane. I was bored for most of it. I'm done with movies that stay on the same slow zoom on a stationary character with increased buzzing and then CUT to silence. It's been done to death. And the scene that is supposedly so traumatizing, that was a great scene, I shouted, it was pretty sweet, but it's not a "things are different now" situation. This falls right in line with other "modern classics" that were hyped beyond for me like It Follows, The Babadook, and the Witch. I don't care for any of those and a lot of people do. But I'm just not seeing it. Same thing with this. I will give props to the trailer though. Great trailer.
Watched this in the theatre. The person left to me was browsing on his phone, and the one on the right fell asleep. It’s a bit slow at moments and I was happy it was over.
I think it was fair, it had a few funny moments. Enjoyable for 1 time.
It felt like it was an epic campaign your friend played, but it sounds a lot less interesting when your friend was retelling the story. :person_shrugging:
since the episode didn't include any kind of note at the end, i want to give anyone else watching a quick reminder that those police officers did in fact speak like that to the operator and that their homophobia was not dramatized. if anything, this series has had to play down some of the details of the actual events for the sake of palatable television.
sandra smith and nicole childress were black women, konerak simthasomphone was from laos, and these officers and dahmer were white. there is a reason that konerak was brought back to dahmer's apartment that night. there's a reason those police officers didn't bother to investigate the smell of decomposition in dahmer's apartment. this was racism and homophobia, plain and simple.
"fun" fact: officer balcerzak was made president of the milwaukee police department in 2005, and retired in 2017 with full benefits and pension. the milwaukee department even posted a tweet congratulating him on his "service."
