This show has nothing exceptional about it at all. It's pretty lame and cookie cutter. Disappointing.
Like most PG-13 offerings, Searching is just emmental: full of holes, cheesy and too much will make you queasy. And it's not really gouda.
The movie's not a total waste, however. The found footage aspect (the film is entirely presented through screen activity on mobile phones, laptops, desktops...) is well done and the actors often hit their marks.
The film's major drawbacks, however, are the ending, which we know as soon as we see the film's MPAA rating (no matter how clever they think they are at trying to convince us otherwise) and the WTFs, like the police don't check a missing teen's text messages and no one has ever heard of catfishing .
Hey, if the film isn't going to give me any credit, I'm certainly not above doing the same.
The real question is why the hell did the guy charge money for snacks at the white house?
This movie offers a unique experience. It gives you one of the most genuine and undoctored glimpses into the soulless eyes of corporate Hollywood
There is no love for making movies
There is no love for the source material
The only interest is making something with the specific goal of being a "Blockbuster".
There is nothing to it but the intent of making money.
There's legit nothing to this movie.
Every shot you see is made just for cool trailer moments....
The Characters have no life or personality to them, They don't make any emotional connection with the viewer.
The acting........ no
There's no real plot or pacing
The effects can be good at times but its far and few in-between
The fighting and action scenes are rendered useless with the unprecedented amount of jump cuts done in editing....
I enjoy movies that might have glaring flaws, or even be considered bad, I'm not a heartless critic... But there are no redeemable qualities about this movie.
You can't even spin it as a "So Bad It's Good" movie, its just that incompetent on every imaginable level.
0/10 - Genuinely
Fuck that ending. I'd give the movie an 8.5 up until literally the last two seconds of the movie. After that it's a high 6.5 or low 7/10.
Pattinson is the best Batman ever.
he is so tortured, his emotions are sincere. He's the darkest and most precise batman out there.
the visuals and the soundtrack are incredible and take you into the thoughts of the character.
For me it’s a masterpiece.
Pirates of the Caribbean meets Indiana Jones.
Nice try, just entertaining, not a masterpiece.
World Premiere Review:
It was ok. It's not entirely interesting and it's the standard Marvel formula. However, it's lacking a critical element of a Marvel hero: a flaw. The best thing about the MCU is that there isn't a Superman equivalent...but there is now and I'm not sure I like it. I'm afraid now that Endgame concludes with believing in yourself can defeat Thanos...
Second watch: The main issue remains Captain Miscast
Filoni and Favreau have done it folks in my world. Let me have the shows and the kids can have the new movies. Good compromise.
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.
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!
Funny as hell and delightful rated R content. Was not disappointed.
A bit of a nothing burger, it doesn’t really get interesting until the final 20-30 minutes.
There are a few entertaining bits inbetween (e.g. there’s a fun scene with Paul Rudd in a Wallmart), but there’s not nearly enough going on.
It’s just mostly bland: some decent acting and directing, but there’s not a lot of action, mystery, charm, clever comedy, drama or characters to get invested into (besides McKenna Grace).
For example, Finn Wolfhard gets as much development as the older brother from Jurassic World, he’s a teen and he wants to get laid. That’s all you get, and it’s not that interesting.
There are, of course, a lot of ‘member berries, which add nothing besides empty nostalgia.
The original Ghostbusters leave the biggest impression with just 5 minutes of screentime, and they clearly didn’t even give a shit about being there.
It’s not the worst thing ever, but this falls short of the benchmark for this kind of movie.
Just watch the original, or anything directed by Spielberg and Cameron in the 80s/90s.
5/10
A big pile of nothing. Waste of time.
Great cinematic, great actors, dumb and pointless plot - especially the ending.
I want 2 hours of my life back!
After watching Sherlock I had low expectations for this show. Tho I must say, I have been pleasantly surprised.
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.
Well that was pretty interesting. I still think zoom is Barry's dad tho. Also, I like Earth 2 Iris more, she's pretty bad ass.
Lol. Y'all will never be satisfied with any episode, will you? The episode was perfectly fine.
Funny as shit. And then sad as hell when you realize it's basically just a documentary.
One of the most Metal as Fuck shit I've seen in recent years. WOW.. The concept, it's execution, the Art, the score, the sound design, the humanity, the awesomeness and cruelty of nature of the era. Just mind blowingly original and entertaining as fuck. All that without a single word uttered. You have to watch it to know how metal it really is.
The product placement for Windows products in this is so intrusive . . .
First episode was really amazing! Great pace, no silly fillings, all the Star Wars ingredients; from the mood, the races, the peculiar way of filming and transitions. Humor was nice and mild, but never overdone. I can't wait for the rest! <3
Anna is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Far too much of the film is made up of explaining incredibly obvious “twists” through flashbacks. Moreover, Anna’s character development is too jumpy and clunky. Even Helen Mirren’s contributions are underwhelming.
More generally, one has to wonder how long it will be until we get a throughly enjoyable cinematic female led soviet oriented spy thriller. Between Anna, Red Sparrow and Atomic Blonde there have been too many failures. A return to Le Carrian style thrillers might be warranted, with the Little Drummer Girl offering a good example from the land of TV.
CAUSE SHE'S GOT A GREEAAAT ASS !!
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]
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
I knew Cole was the fucking witness. That mother fucker
Very good Start for the final Episodes!
After all these years...
The Swede is gone!
