this is so far the worst movie it's like watching a 1980s Bollywood movie.
The first movie was great, but this one, not so much.
Visual and aural experience to sit through. Performance by De Niro as Neil McCauley is something to behold. The amount of attention Michael Mann paid to details while filming this is insane. The action sequences are unrivaled, both in aural and visual sense. There's a sense of professionalism about them that you just won't get from anywhere else. It's only logical, Mann took all the actors to weapons training that lasted for 3 months. All of the scenes were trained on shooting range with built sets, using live ammunition and 3-4 people at time. The documents 'Making of', 'Return to the Scene of the Crime', and 'The Conversation' are essential and must watch after you've seen the movie. It's one of a fucking kind.
CAUSE SHE'S GOT A GREEAAAT ASS !!
Heat is a cinematic banquet of intense imagery and pulse-pounding action.
Genuinely genuinely genuinely funny comedy without having to resort to drugs in every otheother scene. Not a bad bit of mystery as well, but the characters carry the film. Good time at the movies. Jason Bateman strikes again. 9/10
This is a beautiful story, exquisitely performed! If you are not able to suspend disbelief and see truth in fantasy, I grieve for you, because you miss out on gems like this film. This story deals with loneliness, kindness, friendship, love, courage and nobility. As well as ambition, prejudice, corruption of power, cruelty and powerlessness. Guillermo del Toro wove a sensitive and beautiful story set in a sterile and cruel world. The performances are wonderful by a talented and accomplished cast. The production design brilliantly captures the romantic tension of the piece. I highly recommend this film and give it a 9 (superbly beautiful) out of 10. [Fantasy, Drama, Romance]
No drama + no chemistry + no romance = empty movie.
So, this Bureau could kill anyone, anytime, without any explanation or civil outcry? This fact alone bothered me more then the 7 identical twin thing.
Overdone plot, a bunch of useless characters, and an abundance of cringey dialogue. Some of VIN Diesel's stunts are pretty cool though
The decline of modern cinema in 90 mins.
Is this for kids or grownups? The sex, violence and f-bombs suggest the latter but the "plot", "dialogue" and cartoonish characters suggests otherwise.
Why do all these military expert-cum-martial arts masters go into battle dressed like they're in a hip hop video? And by that I mean the men are in leather jackets, vests and "bling", while the women are dressed like prostitutes. The main female characters are anyway. The female extras are prostitutes.
Garbage all round.
Starts off strong! Can't believe I could laugh so hard about abortions and beheadings in the same thought.
Just to preface this, I thought A Force Awakens was emotionless trash that undermined the entire purpose of the original three films.
Rogue One was the opposite.
The best thing about this movie was the emotional impact. It underlined the sacrifices made to make the original trilogy possible. Some people have called it long, but that helped build up characters that you actually felt for, and who weren't carbon copy ripoffs (cough cough A Force Awakens). The final scenes as the two main characters face their fate, recognizing that it was worth it, gave such a high emotional payoff. Each major death scene actually made you feel something.
The second best thing was K-2SO. Very funny, and much needed comedic (but not goofy) relief.
The CGI for landscapes and the world creation was outstanding. When I see a movie like Star Wars I want to be amazed and see things that I haven't seen done before. I want to be impressed and drawn into new, beautifully crafted worlds. In this respect, the movie just kept delivering over and over.
The cinematography was great during the action sequences. The sequences looked epic, and the violence and sacrifice felt meaningful. The Vader fight sequence was intense.
It also had interesting ties to current events with its commentary on terrorism/rebellion/weapons of mass destruction. By the way, the science genius character realizing that he isn't priceless in developing some major device is fantastic. All of the movies with "only so-and-so can figure this out" are very disappointing.
The moral message of the movie was also very clear and well delivered.
I really enjoyed the movie overall and thought that it was a big step in the right direction. It was adventurous again, it was sometimes shocking, original, and most of all meaningful. A Force Awakens failed on all of those points. It's good to see a franchise movie that's taking a bit more risk than average. AFA was just like the new Star Trek films, shiny bling low-impact action movies that just happen to be set in space. Rogue One pushes far beyond to show the what drives the Rebellion in a world we know and love.
Despite the fact that I really liked the movie, it had some flaws:
- Tarkin face CGI
- Some of the acting in the first half.
- Tarkin face CGI
- Some of the cuts were really weird and the pacing felt off for portions of the first half.
- Tarkin face CGI
- Forest Whittaker just deciding to die instead of trying to escape.
- Tarkin face CGI
- A few unbelievable plot lines (thankfully most were minor). Like Cassian being sent to kill Galen for almost no reason, and then deciding not to for no reason, and then Jyn forgiving him surprisingly easily. How did she even know that he was trying to kill her father?
- Tarkin face CGI
- Does every Star Wars movie need to have a father character die? Why didn't Cass follow orders when he heartlessly killed someone else in his first scene?
- Tarkin face CGI
- Heavy handed political messaging.
- Tarkin face CGI
- Said "hope" too many times.
- Tarkin face CGI
- You can just push Star Destroyers that easily?
- Tarkin face CGI
- The word "Stardust"
- Tarkin face CGI
- Too many random worlds introduced that you don't have the time to get invested in.
- Tarkin face CGI
- Too much awkward fan service.
- Tarkin face CGI
- Darth Vader's voice sounded off.
- Tarkin face CGI
- Some of the dialogue was really terrible.
- Tarkin face CGI
If there was a bit more character development, Rogue One would be one of the greatest films of the year. Either way, it was easily one of the best Star Wars films, and it got that way through likable characters, spectacular cinematograpy and a great final act.
Oh, and the Vader scene.
Shallow acting, under developed characters, confusing plot, pointless twist at end. Bruce Willis = Straight To DVD
The worst thing in an "Adam Sandler movie" is the Adam Sandler.
Was invited to an early showing of the film and for those of you thinking of going to watch it.. don't bother, unless you are a fan of 80's action cinema and are able to switch your mind off to the inane and brutal action on screen. The premise is implausible - I mean would the world leaders really gather in mourning for the UK Prime Minister, in one place! Its doubtful the public would line the streets either!
Too violent for a 15 certificate, glorifies the killing of others, and excuses use of drones to wipe out terrorists.
London Has Fallen? Hollywood has fallen more likely!
pathetic patriotic fearmongering bullshit ... first 15 minutes is enough to facepalm. PR movie for white house to sell the tax-waste for the war on terror to the public. Not worth the money to watch this - or even the time
Not terrible, not great, just... fine. Easily the worst of the new trilogy. Script-wise it was a real letdown from DoFP and First Class, and Apocalypse as a villain is stereotypical and brings nothing new to the table. Oscar Isaac was so wasted in this role.
While being a complete deus-ex-machina, the Quicksilver scene is again the best in the movie.
Michael Bay presents. Eternal cliches of the American Movies
Funny as hell and delightful rated R content. Was not disappointed.
