Such a beautiful film, story wise and visually
While it took a while to get engaged, this film accomplished it's main goals (don't want to give anything away). This felt like it could have been produced 30 years ago and still be relevant. It's not flashy or fast paced, it's grounded in reality and it's slow in its pacing. It feels like I'm following an average man, mired in his black identity, while experiencing wholesome as well as heartbreaking moments.
The directing and cinematography are gorgeous. The music is also quite beautiful. Most of the film though is someone screaming about getting shot or nature b-roll with philosophical introspective narration. For 3 hours, it's long winded and doesn't pull me in like other war films. Not for me, but it's clearly cherished by others.
I'm already fascinated by kitchens behind the scenes, but this shows acting and dialogue take it to a whole other level. I relate so much to the flaws of the main characters.
I wanted to like this film, but it got boring real fast and tedious to swim through the exhausting details the film has just recap with the family. This would have been better as a book, since visually there was nothing interesting going on.
Ive only seen praise for this film. It motivated me to give it a shot while I was on a plane. Honestly they did a solid job. Timothee is not a great singer, but I thought he did a decent job as a whimsical, nostalgic act. As far as I'm aware, most of this film is made up and not based on much from the book. Allot of the characters were delightful in their over the top acting. The songs themselves were even tolerable for someone who doesn't like musicals.
This could have been a short film and would have been tolerable. Otherwise, I was zoning out after 10 minutes. Visually its just a sterile bland home and the concept of going viral isn't interesting enough to keep me engaged. Almost felt like I was watching someone's boring home movie.
I've always had problems with this film, mostly with Russel Crowe's stiff acting. There are some cool action moments and some great compositional framing at times, but at the end of the day I feel like this film is extremely overrated. While it may be accurate in the portrayals and design, it leaves me yearning to care.
So due to the increasingly bad decisions of one guy, a whole group of people are jeopardized not only as accomplices, but led into technically treacherous rapids. Problem is the character development is pretty weak. The acting is pretty bland, and it feels like the climax doesn't really hit the mark. The last 30 minutes are the best parts. I watched it only because I was stuck on a plane with not much else to do.
I wanted to like this film, but it drags for most of the film, the dialogue is not interesting, and visually its not very strong. The ending was OK, even though it made no sense. The trailer sold this as a much more retro vibe!

I have such mixed feelings about this one. While it does attempt to improve on the original visually, I could care less about the characters and their awful acting.
This was a solid film. It's dumb and over the top, but not void of humour or wit. The CGI was actually pretty good in this one. I wasn't cringing in figured when a lot of CGI was in use. That being all said, there's something about this film that doesn't make it top tier entertainment. I'm not sure what it is but I don't understand the hate it receives.
Like a really long episode of Bob's burgers
A good old romp of a time
A good time, especially if you're a young white dude.
A classic. Shaped my childhood by the goriness that unfolds.
Hated it as a kid because it wasn't gory enough. Now I can appreciate it for what it is.
Still holds up. Still evokes an intensity appt of other horror films don't match.
The character development isn't as strong as the first one, but Jesus the visuals alone are bonkers.
Alot of heart and snow crazy animations and at design that made this a fun one to watch.
I don't even like super hero films but this to me is easily in the top 5 best super hero films. Granted it helps that I knew a good amount of the backstory, but otherwise a thrilling show.
Not nearly as good as the first one, but it's still watchable.
As cliche as allot of things may be, they execute it well to where youre along for the ride rather than rolling your eyes. Fun to watch even on multiple watches.
There's some spots that feel hokey and drawn out, but otherwise, a solid episodic show with an interesting concept.
I fucking HATE the character designs in this film. It's the main reason I give this film a lower rating than it deserves. When it comes to the story and pacing, this film is created masterfully. I went from being angry at looking at the characters to caring about them half way through.
