This was not at all what I was expecting, it's not for the faint of heart, it's gory, disturbing, and insatiable. It's low bro enough to just have fun with the premises.
I don't know what passes for good these days. This is over acted, frankly nonsensical, immersion is rapidly broken. Basically, you can't make a movie just with pretty actress and good looking actors and call it a day, there needs to be some substance and this substance cannot be just loud and overplayed. Did I mention it was overplayed? It is.
It's like watching a slow motion train wreck: pretty much like any production from Ansari. And Keanu Reeves in this movie? He sticks out like a sore thumb. Don't know how it ends, did not finish it. I had to cleanse my soul after that, so I watched Stripes with Bill Murray, which is a much better movie in every possible aspects.
The movie was off to a good start, the bank scene was well thought of and executed but after that, it was unfortunately all downhill... Casting Pamela Anderson was a mistake, the point of the original trilogy is to have someone who is trustworthy and an airhead. As for casting Liam Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin Jr, again it doesn't work: Drebin is a well intentioned fool, not a supercop who is doing all this rambo stuff whilst being abnormally self aware. Let's hope they do NOT make another one, please allow us to enjoy the original trilogy and Liam & Pamela enjoy their retirement home.
I don't know what to say other than, the first one was well thought, the character building made sense and this one is a very obvious cash grab. It's not inspired, it's bland, it's generic, the antagonist's motivation is what exactly? The reason for Hutch to return to something like his old job is weak. It's not really worth it and I hope they are NOT going to make another one.
oh dear, where do I start and where does it ends? As a starting point, this is as much superman as I am the queen of england. As an ending point, I am not the queen of england: this movie is a piece of trash. It's halfway between a spoof and a pseudo comedy, actors are doing a bad job at portraying their characters unless... their characters were from a comedy cartoon destined to pre-teens. It's not good, it's really bad and I fear for the sanity of anyone giving more than 4/10 to this product.
The first movie of this series was fine, the second was meh, the third was poor, this one is a purgative. Whoever wrote this movie tries hard to make the spectator believe in loving the middle age single mom dating trope. I don't know what to say more but it's nothing but a series of clichés served for an actress who should have stopped several years ago. Nope and re-nope.
it costed USD 110 million to make a biopic about a 90s brit pop singer. Are we in the living version of the producers? Like they knew that they had a flop of their hands and could make millions by getting investor money and creative accounting than selling tickets to Gen Xers who are more worried about their, soon to be, retirement plan than listening to Robbie Williams one more time? It's a puff piece, initially looking like a planet of the apes spin off but essentially worthless. Analyze all the positive answers and identify the first time reviewers and AI generated positive reviews, as usual it's very telling.
Hollywood and its cronies surfing on the current day of current days, celebrating themselves largely with awards left, right and centre in the process for being so progressive. Is the movie good? Let's be honest, no. It's too long for what it is. It's stereotypical. And the current day tropes are nauseating. Acting is annoying at best. Forget and 0.
Fairly enjoyable Christmas action family movie. The actors did a good enough job, the music and CGI were very decent, the story is well executed and the villain is well done. Solid 7/10.
Something weird happened when I watched this movie, as with everytime I watch it. It's a sense of wonder, of hope that I don't get with any other modern superhero movie. Whilst superman is hopeful, positive, helpful, and depicts people with their hopes and failures, it never strays from the path that everyone can be a superhero no matter what. Current day superheroes have powers but are hopeless, they have no charisma, no inner light, and that's why we have already forgotten who is X, Y and Z: some barely exist despite the fact there were dozens of movies with them, others don't exist despite the studios wishing we were rooting for them. I love this movie, and love superman.
It's a teenage movie with teenage discussions, teenage emotions, teenage filming, teenage everything. So it's loud, incoherent, obligatorily diverse and inclusive. Overall it's trash: things happen outside of any logical fashion. In the original movie, it took hours for the xenomorph to exit the body of victim, here a mere couple of minutes happen and here we are with the monster exiting the very flat chest of the obligatory they-them. The rest of the movie is just bland and uses many lazy current day tropes. Better watched at 3 times the speed, as it drags on for poorly executed drama.
A fantastic cast, a great cast and settings to start the story. However it drifts into complete nonsense and implausibility. The story as it is built and developed is plain nonsense: the future humans built a spaceship around the sphere but during the construction didn't suffer any of the consequences, in retrospect the use of 6 digits only to indicate the time of recording is nonsense, the ship was able sink under water without suffering damage but is easily damaged with a chisel, the society of men capable of flying an interstellar ship are unable to keep their mind on the tasks even though flying crews in the aviation industry are also selected and monitored for their psychological stability. The ending is just terrible: the sub would have suffered critical damages and the 3 characters died. So I give a 4 because the first half of the movie is intriguing enough and constructed well enough.
Nothing but a pitiful cash grab at the end. The premise of the story doesn't make sense for anyone who hasn't kept up with the marvel tv shows and movies. I haven't so, what is this TVA dumpster fire of an "agency"? Then, follows many pointless sequences that add nothing of value to the movie: searching for logan, finding one, ending in the desert. I don't have a cluse what is this black smoke monster, the antagonist's motivation is dumb Oddly enough, we've seen pretty much the best of the movie in the trailer. Hugely missed opportunity to cement DP. The cameos were ok at the beginning, frankly annoying after that. Overdone breaking the fourth wall, and the multiverse thing was atrocious. There's no good reason why the DP from other universe would band together yet here we are and the conclusion of "fighting" the DP legion? middle age overweight peter in a DP costume that makes suddenly all the DPs loose their mind?! Is this movie for real? Really don't recommend this movie, it's not a good one.
it's just plain bad from end to end and I absolutely loved it. It's full of clichés, bad acting, a stupid story, more clichés on top of a boatload of clichés and more bad acting. And somehow, it's fun to watch splurging on popcorn and full sugar sodas. Fair warning though, disconnect your brain whilst watching that otherwise you will suffer terminal brain damage.
Ignoring the well played comedy, action and things like that. This is an exceptional critic of the UK as a whole: one which in the same breath cannot stand high performance yet needs it and fails to retain it. A critic of the country, obsessed with its image, even at the expense of its children. And the the image of the one hero to save the day, which is antithetical to reality. Don't just watch it for the comedy, see it for a commentary on the UK's society and its failures.
After AlienS, this movie is my favourite in the Alien franchise. It has everything from weird experiments, exceptional camera work, well developed characters each more crazy than the next, monsters, quite anxiety driving. Really enjoyed it.
They kept the name of the main character and the title of the television show, butchered everything else. It's a complete zero. There are many moments where the message is present, the character portrayed by blunt felt that she was entitled to torture Seavers for not calling her and everyone positively agreed with her and goes along with the torture. That's textbook triangulation of narcissists and it's presented positively without remorse or correction. We all know that hollywood is absolutely sick in the head, but that's a new low.
My teenager son, having played all the 3 games to a completionist level, watched it and overall liked it. He said that it was fun enough even if it went downhill towards the end. He doesn't regret watching it with his buddies so it's a 6.
I had the misfortune of being next to my dearly beloved when she pressed the button play on the remote. I was then subjected to what can only be described as mental abuse. Here's why: the key protagonist played by colman (who is a premenopausal woman in real life) who is a young mother who can't and won't take care of her newborn. Already the story is derailed, her chances of natural conception at this age are less than a percent, with assisted technologies being preferred. For some kind of reason, she encounters a teen boy who explains her how breastfeeding works because she ran out of powdered milk. Again, that's not how this works: it was a geriatric pregnancy in ireland/uk, so she would have had more support than anyone can imagine. Being a sollicitor, we should expect her to have higher intelligence so to pay more attention to things and have a better memory than a teen-mother. So that makes no sense, after that I blacked out and emerged to watch the teen boy stealing an ice cream truck not being stopped by anyone (that is plausible given how the police works over there). There's a big dramatic sequence on the beach with our three stooges and it was meaningless. The dialogs are uninteresting, the lives of the protagonists are equally uninteresting, there's a good dose of PC messaging. As a conclusion for potential viewers: watch this only if you hate yourself, otherwise go for a walk.
It made me think of some nihilistic french movies where the only action is paint drying and old people waiting for their meeting with the reaper. The only difference with these movies is the supernatural elements with the mutants, and the conspiracy to weaponise those. Other than that, couldn't bring myself to care for the characters, the story, the background: it’s nihilistic. What I mean by nihilistic is the morale of the story is that nothing matters and nothing that happened before ever mattered: it only delayed the inevitable, even with the children escaping, only a handful of mercenaries died and more will come later. What a sad message and a way to destroy a legacy.
I was entertained through the movie, there were some meh moments here and there and some inconsistencies and some characters are absolutely not necessary. I think it was rushed in more than 1 aspects and the story is not very consistent, it's quite a downgrade compared to Afterlife but still enjoyable enough. Don't expect miracles, there's none.
The movie is in your face throughout it's entire length, it's played well enough (aside from the long stares), filmed well (aside from the absence of timeline, incessant scene jumps, lack of articulation), music works well with it all, costumes, etc: all of it is okay-ish. However, the story has too many plot holes and inconsistencies to make it a decent sci-fi movie. One example of this plot hole, and it's (sic) where not the filmmaker but the book author is to blame: sandworms attack vertically their prays, except when they are called by thumpers to be mounted by fremens. Also, how are they dismounting the worms, who knows. And why would a worm capable of swallowing sand and machinery would be bothered by a rider with two miniscle hooks. Eugenics without technology is impossible, the "voice" is supernatural, shields that block high kinetic energy but allow low kinetic energy would hinder the wearer in absolutely hilarious ways, a chemical or biochemical compound that affect melanin in the eyes but not in the body is magical, same as giving some casts of people supernatural powers. Harkonnen had decades to nuke the fremen from orbit but thankfully waited now to destroy their main encampment in the north, hundred of nukes have been smuggled on the planet (given the cost of the interplanetary transport and the control exerted by the Harkonnen, no one asks how), it's extremely difficult for a fremen to "board" a worm but when the script requires that a whole tribe, including a pregnant woman in a "crib", boards and deboards a worm, there's no issue. Part of the movie is in black and white to reflect something about infrared light: how does that make sense exactly? A gigantic theatre to see a shielded guy kill 3 people? Really? If house harkonnen was so savage and ruled over dune over several decade, how didn't they track and eliminate the fremen? If the worms are so sensitive to sound they respond to people walking, a thumper, or even a shield, why has no one developped any technology to lure them away from spice farming... worms are cylindrical limbless invertebrates, how can they move as in the movie? The atreides moved on the surface of the planet and neglected controlling the sky at all times, what kind of civilization achieving interstellar travel would neglect that? How can a chemical/biochemical compound grant the power to fold space-time? And much more. I understand the plot holes and inconsistencies are from the poorly written books (there are vastly superior Science-Fiction books available, but probably not as accessible to the general public), but I find it frustrating that these elements still persist. Even taking in account the fact these books were written almost 60 years ago, it is still frustrating to watch this debauchery of flashing images and sounds making little to no sense whatsoever and the public applauding it.
That's some hot pile of garbage. Daughter was watching that, and she very obviously likes this garbage, and I seldom watched a few scenes. The expressionless face of the main actress is something unique. The acting is beyond poor and from what I saw, it's just a waste of bytes and film.
To be able to say that this movie is above 1/10 (and it's only worth 0 to be fair), you have to be able to gobble up nonsense like there is no end to the day. For example, the acceleration from spinning would have rendered anyone, including astronauts, unconscious and unable to control their arms. Take it for what it is: a space drama pretending to be somewhat realistic in some aspects. Garbage.
Skipped most of the movie once the 15 minutes mark hit. The theme of the movie (end of civilization following cyberattack) is interesting however everything else is garbage from the performance, characterization, behavior, story development, dialog, photography, etc. From the bits that I’ve watched: people wait until the last minute for the ship to beach and no one reacts before that? Planes don’t crash if there’s an internet hack (even a gps hack as they have their own instrument, surely less precise and they can fly looking out the window): their embedded systems work independently. The husband is a committee-approved depiction of an acceptable husband: he follows sheepishly his wife, who is his better, doesn’t comprehend anything. A crashed plane wouldn’t leave bodies. If there’s no gps, no internet and not radiocommunications the Teslas wouldn’t be autodriving more than a few meters without crashing into something, and their batteries would, most likely, have been on fire due to thermal runaway reactions. I can’t comment on the race baiting because I skipped most of this pathetic excuse of a movie. Don’t waste your time with this product, not worth it.
It's a chick flick for teenage girls: jewelry, power of girl friendship , cats. And everything happen when the plot needs it, just like in teenage girls TV shows and movies. Also, look: men are just an accessory to the plot, again like in teenage girls flicks. The plot (copyright Spaceballs) doesn't make sense because it doesn't have to, the plot is also an accessory to the key aspect: power of girl friendship becoming women. That's it, that's why this movie has more holes than swiss cheese.
it is just a copy paste of current days tropes in animated form. It is so current day that only a blind person might be able to enjoy it. Really frustrating to watch this.
I was wondering how to rate this piece of garbage. Then it hit me: who is bill burr tackling with this production? Everyday men. In his eyes, they are uneducated teenagers in grown men bodies (they can't even protect their families, their jobs, their employees, what they built or even themselves). They are easily controlled by anyone giving them a look, or wiggling a finger in their face. The only way his character can live a good life is by being emasculated, therapized, and under the watchful eye of a chardonnay drinking wife. Wow, what a message.
Side note: many if not most of the jokes are not funny but cringe.
some decent actors, music is meh, photography is ok, most characters are garbage including the portrayal of hellboy, the exaggerated british accent from this pseudo girl-boss is atrocious, the rest is just as fun a watching paint dry. It is not as fun as the movies with Ron Perlman by a very long stretch. It's so bad that I thought it was a TV show initially.
I didn't know what to think of the movie. Aesthetically it is great, acting is also good, the ending is rushed and the characters are ridiculously superficial. I was intrigued and excited on the first half, then it became meh and the ending is just a waste. What is the point the movie is trying to make? That chefs are like cult leaders and that the rich and famous are cruel, corrupt and despicable? And they kill what the ones at the bottom love, or pretend to love, doing? And that it is okay for those at the bottom to destroy themselves and those above in a fiery blaze to purify it all? I don't like this kind of nihilistic message: 0.
This movie is so inconsistent there is no point to it. The plot moves because of the need of the next mcguffin. Humor is inappropriately delivered most if not all of the time. The overuse and frankly inappropriate use of of 80s/90s music is annoying at best. The motivations and actions of the characters make little to no sense at times. There is something really wrong with this movie, an underlying lust for depravity that is really annoying. How can one enjoy portraying the killing of massive numbers of mutilated animals when they have no agency? Some of these creations are just grotesque and the CGI pushed the limit more than once to display gross and grotesque creations.
This is the kind of movie created in a boardroom by people in expensive suits who take their advice from old clichés gathered here and there. The photography is okay-ish (still quite cliché), the rest is not.
not that good and what is with this ending? Basically a mix between the original pinocchio, tim burton's animated movies and AI from Spielberg. Actually, I revise from not that good to absolutely amoral. Do not watch that with kids.
the first one was great and disney should have stopped there: it was a good story, the fairytale ended with a happily ever after. Nope, they had to milk it and this one is a snooze fest. I fell asleep and my kids disengaged or rather never engaged since it's excessively boring. Not original at all.
Let's be honest here, most people who voted 5 or above did it for the VFX, they missed the rest. The problem is a movie is first and foremost a story brought to life by actors. Here the story is more than lacking, it's pompous, childish and ridiculous. Should the absence of a story (and with massive inconsistencies) supported by gorgeous computer work be rewarded? In my opinion, the answer is no and as long as we rate highly these kind of products, we will only be served this kind of garbage.
When a person gifted with a reasonable sense of self watch this movie then the positive comments, there is only one comment coming to mind: "I want out of this idiocracy". Let's be honest, the movie has more plotholes than swiss cheese with the biggest ones being that scientists can create alien bodies with a complete understanding of their biology but can't cure a paraplegic? An army and scientists who can master the biology of an alien race cannot create biological or chemical weapons that can be spread from space? pass on the rest, it's forgettable.
it's politically correct garbage, nothing else. Just hated the whole thing, kids left during the first 20 minutes and I watched the rest to see how low it would go, I didn't think it would drop that low, but it's bad. It the opposite to Scrooged. I don't want to see Will Ferrell showering, even if it's the top third part of his body and for not more than 15-20 seconds.
ouch, very ouch. The actors can't act, the writers can't write and the whole thing deserves less of a score than the first iteration. Thank god the rest of the production (photography, music, costumes, sets, lighting, props) do their best with the garbage they are given. Let's hope this is the final production.
200 million dollars spent on that? They should have spent a couple of bucks on a story that makes sense instead of just focusing on fireworks, expensive sets and big stars. It's just garbage, dialogs are beyond cliché, acting is poor. 2 for the photography and sets, 0 for the rest.
As usual a solid portion of the 10/10 crowd appears to be fake. As for the movie: not worth your time. As for the "message": it's not up to a corporation to decide how and when us, parents, decide to talk to our kids about any of these things. Their job is entertaining, our job is parenting.
