The 2nd part of this movie is phenomenal. The 1st part however, although ok, could've been a lot better.
The fight scene with the little gnome was rediculous, after constantly portraying him as a huge total badass. Hmf.
How is this movie getting such glorified reviews??? While the action scenes are fine, the story is somewhere between illogical and ridiculous.
None of the story lines make any sense, it's just one fight/chase after the next up until the idiotic finale. And yeah, let's connect the laptop of our villain super-hacker to the local network, what could go wrong.
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
Hated it.
As simple as that.
Terrible way to take the series to. I mean it's not as bad as the prequels, because the acting is quite all right, but it hits so many bullshit moments where I was facepalming every other scene it's unbelievable.
weak ass movie. just wasted 90 mins of my life. zero action. not what I was expecting. who cares about some dumb pig?? poor story line , and zero action. that's a zero star rating from me. all these superb reviews just seem suspicious? are you guys bots? did we see the same movie?
It wasn't awful, but, I think I must be the only person in the world who didn't think it was great. There were times when breaking out into song mid-conversation without some sort of elaborate set-change didn't make sense, The 2 leads weren't exactly talented singers or dancers -- no wow numbers. The sets improved by the time the final number rolled around, but the singing and dancing remained an afterthought.
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.
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.
The politics here and their mention are cringe-inducing as is the inconsistent dealing with violence. Falcon - ahem, Captain America - standing around and didactically lecturing the politicians is some of the most gag-inducing material that I've seen in a long time. (Even more so when we learn that he actually changed their minds. Talk about Talk No Jutsu...) The kind of naivete that would be notable even in animated kids' movies. Reminder that the MCU for all its strength is ultimately creatively bankrupt and can't do good storytelling for shit. Also, the only half-decent villain they've written in terms of ideology is Zemo. Karli is just plain fucking annoying as is how Sam thinks of her.
They'll just build a new one... and make the White Walkers pay for it.
This too early to have a filler episode. Waste of an hour. Watch the first 5 mins and last 5 mins. Rest has zero value to story progression.
What a gasbag filler of an episode?! I really went into the series expecting action on a grand scale, especially considering the huge budget. But then we get this. These are the same guys who were a part of the Avengers who were fighting Thanos and I was blown away seeing endgame, and now we get this whimper. Sorry but this gets worst with every episode for me considering the high expectations and the terrific opening fight sequence in the first episode. The plot is stretched so thin with some seemingly useless side quests. And then towards the end, some corny life lessons shared by the Falcon and Bucky while tossing that Frisbee around..... Sorry if this feels like a rant but I expected more, just my opinion....
Edit: Also who is the villain again? At least I hope there is a good boss level fight sequence in the last episode...
This episode is a total result of coivd 19 restrictions, just garbage
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?
Would be an ok episode were it not for:
but WHY would the children want to go live with their born again grandpa?? do they have any idea how horrible it is to live with a fundamentalist christian?? i know they hate their mom but they can just move lol charlotte did it before they can live at the motel
and charlotte can forget her wine and her weed and jonah can forget his all nighter laundering money or gaming whatever the fuck that little creep does
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.
Severely overrated film. Aged horribly because of the way it was filmed, acting isn't great, the story is severely unrealistic and it's pretty darn boring to be honest.
I really don't see why this gets so much love.
When you order a pepperoni pizza and they deliver a pepperoni pizza, do you complain they didn't serve you filet mignon? This film is the pepperoni pizza of action films. If you want an action film, this has got it. It's not especially new or revolutionary or poetic, but at least it's got action from beginning to end which is more than many other action films of late.
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.
Not a fan of the boring Russian subplot.
Pirates of the Caribbean meets Indiana Jones.
Nice try, just entertaining, not a masterpiece.
THINGS THAT MADE THIS EPISODE F*CKIN AMAZING:
- Getting to see the dragons in action was truly beautiful;
- Dany and Yara interaction was GOLD;
- The battle was very very very good. Tense and visually stunning. I couldn't breathe throughout it;
- Ramsey FINALLY being killed and ultimately by Sansa;
- >>>Sansa's character development!!!!<<<<
- Rickon dying as well was awful, but I can't say it was a wasted death nor a bad executed scene.
S06 was worth it mainly because of this entire episode. Still can't believe how good it was. I hope the finale is even better.
This movie does not hold up. Do not re-watch unless you want disappointment in your past self.
am I the only one who thought in the beginning that Logan dying was a ploy to somehow fuck over the kids again :sweat_smile::upside_down:
……nah it was just me & maybe I ended up caring for the bastard in the end (help)
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.
