"Put that cookie down. NOW!"
That is Arnold Schwarzenegger's best line ever.
Yet another terrific movie from Clint Eastwood - he's a much better director than actor. All the actors played their part well and the story flows without getting bogged down. 10/10
People who find this movie patriotic obviously cant read the title...its called AMERICAN sniper...im from Europe and cant see why americans are so against this movie. Its a tribute to the man and all those who didn't make it out of various wars. I find this an amazing movie. Not the best picture I've seen from the Oscar movies but its so much more than that
an insult to the movie going public, sadly 1 is as low as I can rate it.
Really funny movie. The ones rating this as bad is missing the entire point :)
Wow. Only a 69% rating and no comments? I cannot let that stand as it is, so here's a short review. I have watched this movie countless times since I first saw it, and it was one of my "must haves" movie collection wise. I still only have it on DVD, but in my opinnion this movie deserves an collectors edition re-release on blu-ray as well.
What we get is a modern kind of western, somewhere down south, near the mexican border in the 1930s, where John Smith, portrait by Bruce Willis is getting into a ghost town that is inhabited by two rival gangs, one of italian the other of irish origin. John Smith, being an excellent gunman, is drawn into this fight by accident, but instead of leaving as soon as he can, he sees opportunity, playing both ends against the middle for personal profit. But while it starts out to be great, in the end it turns out, that John Smith isn't as ruthless as he likes to appear, which is his downfall.
I used to love the 80s and 90s action movies with Will Smith, and if you do too, you'll get a movie that you've got to love. It's hard, it's brutal, it's Will Smith at his best, it has a marvelous scenery, this ghost town in the desert is perfect for the movie and adds to this gerat atmosphere, and the story - though simple - is not too bad either; plus point are the monologs and the ingenious plan that Will Smith has, and that nearly works out to perfection.
It's not deep in any ways, it does not have a deeper meaning, it has no added value, it doesn't even reinvent the wheel - this is credited as a remake of Akira Kurosawas Yojimbo, and the producers also list the heavy influence of A Fistful of Dollars (which has a nearly identical plot); then again - that movie doesn't have neither Bruce Willis nor Christopher Walken, both really great actors that play perfectly in this movie - but also all the other actors are really gerat and so in the end, you'll get a modern western that is fun watching - if you are into those things.
I know, 10/10 will seem much overrated for many, and I probably wouldn't have given it this rating, if I'd watched it nowadays. However, given the countless times I've already watched and enjoyed this movie (mostly during my youth, but even nowadays I do enjoy it from time to time), I think it has earned these 10/10 - at least in my account.
One of the best Laurel & Hardy movies. The piano transport is a classic on its own
This was definitely more for Godzilla fans than it was for critics. It was way better than the 2014 film that got Certified Fresh. The film is just badass. Not perfect but....bad ass.
They do over-do the family drama again though. Especially when the family drama makes no sense. Mark Russel (Kyle Chandler) blames Godzilla for the death of his son. He wants all monsters dead.
Mark’s wife Emma (Vera Farmiga) says screw mankind. The monsters will cure the planet of Climate Change. So yeah in another words who cares if anyone else loses family members. Due to her plan to unleash all monsters.
Her daughter Madison (Millie Bobbie Brown) sticks with her. Despite her mom teaming with some bad men with guns. Who kill some nice scientists right in front of her. So yeah, Mark is the sanest one in that family.
Even if there’s too much of the humans and a silly plot. This is the best of the Hollywood Godzilla movies. Critics are just wrong. One even said the Roland Emmerich version is better. What drugs is that critic on ?
The battles are some of the best done of any monster vs monster battle. Unlike the first film this one has a ton of Godzilla history to it. It shows him way more and shows the character great respect.
One of the best Batman animated movies I've seen to date, both the story and the animation are superb.
Aside from one scene, I thought the movie was a pretty good film. Not better than Gran Torino, but still okay.
It's pretty obvious that this movie inspired Star Trek.
Oh my god, this was good!
I get that it's useless as an adaption of the Godzilla-franchise.
But aside from that I think this movie is amazing. The plot was well structured, , and it was surprisingly scientific for a movie of this genre.
Well let's see... not funny, tasteless "humor" , gross and absolutely stupid. But I guess if that's your thing.
Apparently by reading the comments here and on the 1982 version, not many know the original movie was actually The Thing from Another World 1951. All being based on the 1938 book Who Goes There?.
Yeah, not so much. meh
Tremors ROCK.....
I don't care how many people tell me I am dumb and watch crap but since the first one I was hooked.
I hope they come back to my country and make 1000 more of these movies... :)
This is just one of those franchises that just grab a following and I can GUARANTEE you I am the in the front with my flag shouting the loudest...
Please Please make MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Gross is da bomb
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]
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.
