Deeply disturbing. Mesmerizing. Wonderful.
The love story of a SIREN, a GIANT, and a DWARF! How could it not be?
One of my favorites movies
i loved this movie man.
but i have to say it's remake Dhamal (2007) was a lot better than this movie.
The days when exciting thrillers like "The Fugitive" were a big deal in theaters are unfortunately long gone. And I seriously hope that this will change again at some point. These days, films of this kind tend to be released on streaming services, and I don't want to say much about their quality.
Be that as it may, in the 1990s, Netflix and co. were still far away, so a movie like this could become one of the most successful of the year. And it achieves this with fairly simple means, above all with strong actors and a suspenseful cat-and-mouse game. The mystery surrounding the murder of the wife of Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) falls a little short, but there is certainly a reason why the film was not considered for the screenplay category when it received seven Oscar nominations.
However, the rather thin plot is hardly a problem at all because the tension is so high throughout that the viewer is never forced to delve too deeply into all the details. For me, "The Fugitive" is therefore definitely always a highlight.
Easily one of the best thrillers of the 90's with great work by the entire cast.
It is a trademark Michael Bay movie. A great tribute to those who lost their lives in Benghazi due to the collective incompetence of Obama and Hillary.
1st of all to say that Michael Douglas is one of the best actors in the film universe and nearly all movie with success guaranteed. There is consistently a really good cast!
The stuff of the plot is phenomenal and the plot twist in the middle is already so unexpected stark but the 2nd twist till the end was an absolute blast °!° [8/10]
Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
I like the idea of a war room.Time to start working on my prayers.
This is a totally NEW movie not a remake!!!
Way Way Way better than the Joss Whedon trash
I actually enjoyed this so much and everything made sense for the prior movies
Loved the new direction Zack took with the script and the new twists he introduced!!
The visual effects were amazing as well especially Flash!
loved that he gave each character its time and showcased their potential
Loved the setup he created for potential sequels
The overall feel of the film was great, it didn't feel rushed, perhaps slow at some scenes but not rushed at all
well done Mr. Snyder you totally deserved that second chance
A must watch movie.
This is the real justice league movie
Critique put me off watching this for a while, dumbest decision I've ever made.
This film was great, plain and simple. It's dark and full of action. The flashbacks are a nice change for introducing the origin story. And I thought they cast Superman perfectly, great actor and is practically the spitting image of Christopher Reeve.
Best adaptation of the Superman story since the originals, loved it.
This is THE DEFINITIVE Superman movie. With truly spectacular cinematography, a heartwarming coming of age story, enthralling action and perhaps the best superhero movie soundtrack ever from Hans Zimmer, this movie hits every beat for Superman fans new and old.
As a DC comics fan growing up, the critical response to this movie prevented me going to watch it at the theatre. I mean who wants one of their favourite superheroes being "humourless", "too violent", and "not epic enough"??? Well, I can truly sit here now having said "lesson learned". Never again will I allow critical response to prevent me from experiencing something I had waited a lifetime for. I will never get to see Man of Steel in the theatre, and this movie was shot for the big screen. Some of the shots are truly beautiful, especially when he wakes up in the ocean with whales, and when he learns to fly in the snowy mountains.
The story is often criticised for not having the kookiness of the original four movies with Christopher Reeve - and don't misunderstand this for hating on the first few iterations, I have nothing but fond memories of growing up with those films - but I challenge anyone to watch those movies now and claim that they still hold up. A truly great movie as well as standing the test of time, has rewatch value, and Man of Steel is one of the few superhero movies that I have watched time and time again. This requires a great story.
The story of this movie focuses on a boys relationship with his fathers, and his coming of age through those guises. His cautious and protective Earth father who tought him the morality and goodness we expect from our Superman, who sacrificed himself in order to keep his sons secret; and his Kryptonian father who encouraged him to embrace his difference and be the man Earth needs him to be.
A bonus is that the relationship between Lois and Clark doesn't seem forced. You get to see how she is a great investigative reporter and through her reporting she discovers Superman's true identity. By protecting it, you can see Clark's appreciation and the weight of not being able to talk about it to anyone - something that bothers him throughout the great flashback scenes as wonderfully portrayed by Dylan Sprayberry and Cooper Timberline - being lifted.
The character development of the antagonist, General Zod is done in a way other superhero movies can only be envious of. The message that this character, like all other Kryptonians are born with a specific purpose, in this case to protect Krypton at all costs, comes across well. From his perspective he is the superhero of his own story, trying to save his planet and his people, and that is the truest of tests for supervillain development.
And this brings me to the epic and controversial (for some reason) third act. As mentioned earlier, Superman has a strong moral code instilled in him by Jonathan Kent, which is shown throughout the flashbacks. Any observer who doesn't see that Snyders portrayal of Superman has the most morality of any Superman in cinematic history is simply not paying attention. He doesn't spin the Earth backwards to rewind time just to save his girlfriend like in the original, and he doesnt go back to Smallville and hook up with Lana because the love of his life Lois is ignoring him a little bit like in Superman III. That Superman, despite all of his displayed morality (e.g. where he refrains from fighting the bullies) feels he must kill General Zod is one of the most powerful moments in superhero movie history. He repeatedly begs Zod to give up his quest to destroy Earth and humans now that his quest to return Krypton has failed. Zod makes it clear as day that he will NEVER give up, and that he will destroy humanity at all costs as an act of revenge. What was Clark supposed to do? He was left with no choice! Add to this the fact that Zod's laser beams were inches away from killing a whole family, Superman reluctantly had to break his neck. Yet unlike other superheroes he did not gloat in victory, the pain and anguish in that scream that follows is filled with the heartbreak of breaking both his moral code and killing one of the few other fellow Kryptonians in the universe.
Overall, this movie gets better every single time I watch it. If you haven't watched it since it came out and had mixed feelings the first time, please give this movie another try without the immediate negative reviews that were extensively covered in the media at the time of release. It truly deserves it. Man of Steel is THE DEFINITIVE Superman movie.
Why the hate here and especially on imdb? I liked that one back in 1997 as I do now. Is it mediocre? Yes, but it's uncomplicated fun.
This follow up to 1959's "The Return of the Fly" seems barely related to the first two movies of the series. There's no new fly-related action in it at all and there's no Vincent Price. But there is the Delambre family and this time they're busy teleporting back and forth between Quebec and London to stay one step ahead of the authorities.
There are some cool directorial touches. The scene that plays during the opening credits is in slow motion and it's again in glorious black and white. It features Carole Gray escaping from a mental institution in nothing but a bra and panties. The laboratory set and transporters are classic Sci-Fi inventions. There's also an amazing shot when Martin enters a "cage" to find a deformed man leaping toward him. The look of this shot is really freaky, the man is filmed with some sort of negative effect that makes him look almost other dimensional. Also shocking is the transportation of two men, one after the other, but before each of them reaches the destination transporter. The result of the reintegration is actually fairly gory.
The ending seems a bit rushed but it's not the typical happy Hollywood ending normally encountered in movies from this time period. "The Curse of the Fly" is a pretty entertaining and stylish finish to the overall satisfying "Fly" trilogy.
Now we know where the Professor gained all his knowledge prior to boarding the S.S. Minnow.
The tingler isn’t really scary but who cared when you watch Vincent
Price! Great movie…. Watch it!
If every filmmaker had the passion of Roger Corman, what a wonderful Hollywood it would be.
a colossal epic that still holds up to this day. Dare one say one of the best movies ever made
She just goes - a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes.
An underated Michael Caine gem; worth it for the line "Don't forget to tell your mum you went to Disney World"
Keeps you on the edge of your seat, cheering for the underdog the entire time. A perfect example of Hitchcock's work.
Animation has to be by far one of the worse. They tried to hard to be original but it just looks horrible. Awkward proportions, Movement terribly unrealistic. Resemblance of badlands. That alone made for a terrible watch.
Voice actors were also terribly casted.
Storyline was not the best.
this movie was just horrible and omg so much screaming! i just wanted him to kill her and end this movie.
Do yourself a favor.... skip this one and just watch Red Dragon.
Dissapointed. No suspense. The dialogue wasn't clever or interesting. Seen better episodes of Columbo. It felt long. The music is awful. I think it's rated high by people trying to be purist or different.
William Peterson's acting was sometimes bad and his monologues were very bad soap opera.. I'm thinking Sunset Beach.
So Dennis Miller at some point utters the line ...........I feel like I'm in a bad episode of Tales From The Crypt!
My microwave popcorn was better than this.
You can't just do 90 minutes of people's heads exploding and call that a movie.
