Waaaaaay better than I expected. Slasher comedy fans wet dream. Roth nails the tone for this one expertly. Best kills I may have ever seen from an over the top standpoint. Perhaps 10-15 min shorter would have benefited pacing, but small gripe. Some silly choices here and there, but overall a solid 8.0. Happily surprised.
Movie is 100% pure garbage
I wanted Transformers. Instead I got Dumb and Dumber with guest appearances by Transformers.
I was bored the whole time. The story is stupid, most of the movie is filler, and they even copied everything they could from the Avengers. They even got an Iron Man.
The producers "lets bring a diversity cast this time maybe we can bring a new audience"
The audience" nah it's a crappy movie , no one asked for it to be made, maybe we will stream it if there's nothing else to see"
Enjoyed the opening CGI scenes but as soon as we jumped to 1994 and the dialogue started I turned off.
This movie was great because I fell asleep in the theater and had an amazing nap
Jesus this was the worst one yet, and thats not saying much. Time to call it a day.
This was just a lot of fun. Great romance. Oodles of action. Lots of “suit” gags. Chris Evans being adorable. Great cameo. Ana de Armas was new to me but she was perfect for this role. Great entertainment for an evening. I give this film an 8 (great fun) out of 10. [Romantic Action Comedy]
Not sure why this gets negativity, I thought it was a decent film.
This was so much fun. I love everything Ana i Chris are in. It's sad I am that hyped person, but i really like it have so much fun. I can't believe Chris Evans can be cringe. For me this shows versatility
Saw this tonight as part of the Regal Cinemas $5 Monday Mystery Movie. It was an entertaining movie with plot twists that will twist your beliefs about reality. I will not share any spoilers as requested by Me. Rodriguez when he introduced the movie. You will have to discover its surprises for yourself which I highly encourage you to do.
Grant Gustin should have been given the role of Barry. I mean, he's doing a wonderful job on the show and is a terrific actor. Why create this huge chasm between the TV and cinematic universe by casting different actors for the same character, when there's already a great Barry that everyone loves?
Why not cast Grant Gustin for the part? He is definitely the greatest Barry Allen ever, and a great young actor!
Edit 2022: OK, Ezra, move aside, it's Grant's turn!
I do not deny Ezra was good too, and that the last seasons of Flash have been week sauce (I do agree that most baddies are converted to good after a nice speech, nonetheless I'll keep watching it till the end, I'm that kind of viewer...), but Grant is an established Flash, great actor and apparently a calmer human being than Ezra at the moment. :P
Sorry, I'm team Grant! :)
Just back from a secret screening of this and it had no business being so good.
Better and more fun than most of the recent Marvel movies!
It's not that I didn't 'get' it, I just didn't see the point of any of this, why was this film even made ?
This movie is dumb.
Something else needs to be pointed out as well. They never show her getting off the dam tower. Lame ending.
Why didn't she just stuff the phone in the bird
I let myself be carried away by this horrible outpouring because I had heard in some places that the film was "not bad at all".
But: This work of art is a waste of time. Maybe a movie for teenie weenies who don't know true classics of similar themes (like "Running Man"). But for me, this is the worst rape of my sense of aesthetics and beauty.
I can't even bring myself to leave constructive criticism. This sprawling bullshit doesn't deserve it.
I'm old enough to remember the original Hellraiser (1987). That was a true horror film. There were horrible people, doing horrible things. It left you feeling really quite disturbed about the worst aspects of human nature.
The follow-up Hellraiser 2 (1988) managed to recapture a small part of that. But after that it was downhill fast. The sequels were nothing but parodies.
Well, for some reason, Hulu decided to remake it.
Shamefully, the film fails on nearly every level. It's not well written (terrible dialogue) and poorly acted. There's little horror and you simply do not care about anyone or anything happening in it. It doesn't give you a reason to care either. The Cenobites are not scary, or grotesque looking... they just look like cheap make-up and some bad CGI.
Like the later Hellraiser films It has more in common with trashy slasher flicks than anything else. Poorly done ones at that.
As is common today they gender-switched the main role. Did it add anything? Nope. In fact, I keep hearing about what a good performance Jamie Clayton was as The Priest. I don't know what they were watching. There isn't a performance, it's literally all make up and some lines read out flat. Look at the originals: Pinhead's character is all about small, slow movements and looming dread. He's literally an overwhelming threat and you are the prey. Not in this one though.
Or look at the secondary villain. In the original it's Uncle Frank, who is an awful person who fully deserves his fate. Even in the end as he's pulled apart by the Cenobites... he's drawn to it, and much as he tried to run he still wants what the Cenobites offer. In this new version... there's none of that same grimy, disturbing look into subcultures. It's all clean, boring and badly acted.
Watch Hellraiser (1987) and Hellraiser 2 (1988) and stop there. They did it better on much smaller budgets.
Not good. Save your time. Watch something else.
This movie was so unsatisfying.
old formula, well executed and with a never get old Stallone!
This movie is so bad I had no issue taking bathroom break because I didn't think I was missing anything. My understanding of Marvel universe was that it was about heroes battling evil, this movie does that for about 10 minutes the rest is them trying to crack jokes and Thor seems to be trying to maintain a fragile male ego which I thought he dealt with in the very first movie, hence why he became "worthy" of mjolnir. He honestly comes across like a dumb jock, and you have no trouble understanding why Foster left him. A waste of talent of Bale and Portman and a waste of such an interesting character Gorr. Perhaps they'll do a remake, soon .
Was this parody? I hoped this was parody. I hoped Thor would wake up from a dream or they’d say the whole first half was a play in New Asgard. Oh my word. The last third was probably the saving grace. What potential Gorr the God-Butcher had, what potential a movie featuring eternity had. Garbage. The MCU is done.
I didn't realize this was a Predator movie the first time I saw the poster and thought this was some random horror movie but the positive buzz certainly didn't pass me by so here we are again. After watching it I'm certainly... shocked?
From the get go this did very little to pull me in, be it the CG animals, one-dimensional plot or the the selfish attitude of our heroine. Now obviously one can argue how much that all matters when the action is good but it didn't really scratch that itch for me either... the Predator fighting with the animals was certainly entertaining but random guys biting the bullet with mostly offcam/unclear CG gore not so much. Would have been nice if they showed some wits when they fought him at the camp but somehow him going invisible is enough reason to lower their weapons and start talking to each other. She saw how the camouflage works multiple times in action already..?!!
What all those scenes, and the movie poster for that matter, certainly established, is that our protagonist has little to worry and that a showdown was coming but I would never have predicted the amounts of bullshit that would contain:
- Somehow becomes a baller and expert in alien technology. Knows when the Predator is coming, takes her magic herbs to immediately lower her blood temperature (but is not shivering and still standing up) and is in the Predators path who obviously doesn't see a standing corpse right in front of it or notices her moving out of the way...
- Never used the gun but knows the right angle to shoot and remove his mask (betting on this being a weakness when this did little to stop it before).
- Gets to conveniently escape for the n-th time and has enough time to finish up some traps (which the Predator even hit on some random tree lol).
- Gets hit to the head twice from the shield that cut through the Predators limbs, spear and even stone but is unscathed.
- Can easily remove a fang attached to it's face to save herself just in time.
- GPS dog that always magically reappears is ready to bring her the tomahawk...
- Manages to sit on top of the Predator and even pull him into the bog with a tiny rope and a much much smaller statue.
- The Predator obviously submerges immediately, but little does it know of her the grand plan to have him placed at that exact LOS of the mask in anticipation that he is gonna fire from his gun (despite not having had his mask for the whole time) while he is already targeted by the laser the entire time... b r a v o. Obviously that one shot was also enough to kill it.
...
Honest to god - how does a movie with such a contrived finale get so much praise, or even leave the script writing phase??
This movie is so bad that it is hilarious! The acting, the dialog and everything is so unrealistic that I could not help but laugh. At times I was like "Why doesn't he just throw them outside his house?!" I mean, he's a strong man and they are just two skinny annoying bitches. Keanu is soooo bad that I am not sure if he acted that way on purpose or not...
And finally, I am pretty sure that if Keanu was not in that movie, nobody would have seen it.
Pretty bad, more like a bad comedy. And those girls were just two bitches with daddy issues who think they're making a point and giving what? moral lessons?. The poor bastard said 'No' a few times, and I'm not justifying him because he was stupid but those girl kept pushing, come on, everyone has a limit.
The movie is not bad, but Kevin Hart is just terribly annoying. And why does he have to emphasize race? "Why are you asking a black man to steal a police car". What does that have to do with it? Later in the movie "I am boiling that white woman". Why is race at all important?! Stop referencing if its not important. Not everything is about race.
Kevin Hart seems to permanently play the exact same character who just does not stop talking and tries to be funny by just talking too much. Which it is not. Too bad. It is the same as Melissa McCarthy who also can only play 1 single character and is also absolutely never funny with her one-liners.
Could have otherwise been a fun movie if it had a different actor in it.
Woody Harrelson did kill it and is the only thing saving this movie.
Kaley Cucuo her role is so tiny that its hardly worth mentioning.
Story itself is kind dumb and 13 in a dozen. Or perhaps 15 in a dozen. You see the plot "twists" coming 5 miles away.
Anyway. I could smile a few times and it was fine having this movie play while I was reviewing some document for work.
Not good or funny. It’s satire that becomes the stupidity it’s making fun of.
