Brilliant! I was gripped from go. Grace was a little much at times, but eventually she grows on you. Absolutely jam packed with action, suspense, and super well timed humor to keep things well mixed. Future directors pay attention. This is how to craft a great movie experience.

It has been a long time since I have seen a movie I could call a true "blockbuster." This is hands down one. Somehow even miles better than the original, which appears to be such a rare and incredible feat for this generation of screenwriters. Seriously. Top notch pacing. Perfectly blended of action, comedy, and drama. Casting was spot on. This one is going into the DVD collection. Going to gift my parents tickets for my dad's birthday.

From original to gimmick. I think they lost the point and the plot of the matrix. It is sad in a sense, that our so called "modern" culture is incapable of genuine creativity. Instead we get pandering. No soul in this one. Perhaps this was written by some kind of first generation of "artificial" intelligence.

Cringe. Packed so much of wo-man power and other SJW pandering that it kills any entertainment value it could have had.

Do the executives at Netflix not like money? Or is this some new strategy to make the other B-level content look better by comparison? Who casted this? I mean, they couldn't find anything better than fat and genital joke comedians?

I am not a die hard star wars fan. I am, however, a big movie buff. So this is coming from the perspective of someone who is looking at this trilogy in a bubble by itself. That being said, if anyone can explain the mess of contradictions, and new ex machina mechanics I witnessed this evening I would very much appreciate it. It's like they had 12 writers split up and write twelve parts, and then they just mashed it all together. To glue the mess onto a shared board they shoe-horned Palpatine. But hey, that is what I saw. Anyone else who knows more about the lore may be able to correct me.

Excellent use of lighting. The music was so well crafted to the events on screen it was noticeable because of its timing. And the decent into madness was so smooth it almost appeared logical. This was a very entertaining few hours.

So much cringe. So so so much cringe. Their attempt to make the "girls look tough" came off as world-class a-holes. The humor was off-putting. Worse yet, the plot line of aliens that can blend is such an easy win to screw up. How did you screw it up? I want my money back.

Feminists really do ruin everything. This kind of guy bashing trash makes me so happy we got a full refund.

Would have given it a perfect score, but they did not show the punk kid being tortured at the end and I believe the audience really needed it on a cathartic level.

My wife apologized for choosing this for our date night. The good news? I get to pick the next 3 months of date night movies. All in all the 2 hours of no plot and misplaced lines was worth hearing my wife admit she was wrong. Lol

I have seen Solo twice now (second time with a friend). I thought I might enjoy the plot more on the second view and get past the wierd drioid and bad acting. Instead, those issues became MORE glaring the second watch through. This will be the first Star Wars movie in my life that I will not be purchasing and adding to my collection. How can you get so little storytelling talent for so much money???

Who do I talk to about a refund? Seriously, someone needs to compensate me for my loss of time watching this. Who is making the financial decisions at Disney? Are they perpetually drunk or just high?

The reviews here is one prime example of why I don't like the pure nostalgic diehard Star Wars fans. You guys have obsessed over "recapturing" your childhood fantasies so much, anything short of a remake will make you go berserk, and the remakes (like episode 7) leave you feeling disappointed you were not a child again. Is this movie perfect? No, that is not easy. There are a couple plot holes and campy scenes. But as a whole, it was an excellent piece of story telling. It deepened past and new characters, fleshed out the universe, built excellent tension, and was visually/audibly stunning. I really cannot ask more from a movie.

This should have been rated R. The sexual scenes are not brief and the dark scenes are disturbing. And the plotline was stupid. At least the previous movies had a mix of humor and action.

It's boring. The whole thing, boring. The humor has the complexity and subtlety of a 12 year old making fart noises. The trailer suggests that they have found a novel idea, until you discover that is the end of the novelty. Do yourself a favor, watch the trailer, enjoy the chuckle, and congratulate yourself for having watched all the humor in this movie for free.

These are only a few of the sins committed: 1. Thou shalt not make product placement obvious (anyone for drinking milk, in a jeep, while QQ'ing someone?) 2. Thou shalt not pander Chinese audience and have them do nothing 3. Thou shalt not rehash every element of the movie 4. Thou shalt not use PC to pander to critics 5. Thou shalt not cram worthless characters 6. Thou shalt not throw logic out of the window 7. Thou shalt not ruin past characters (crazy president, wash out dad, dead Hill) 8. Thou shalt not have 15 year old write the script 9. Thou shalt not use an Inception knock off soundtrack 10. Thou shalt not plug sequels in your own horrible reboot

I have had more entertaining stomach flus. The entire movie felt so... desperate. They were desperate to seem funny, desperate to appeal to nostalgia, desperate to keep our attention. Their desperation become so obvious you begin to pity those involved in its creation.

Wow, so much hate for this movie? Did I missing something? Did the director shoot a panda in real life of something? Honestly, the movie was fun to watch. Over the top? Crazy? Elaborate? Sure. But did any of you go into the movie expecting otherwise? I loved the sets and the animations were fun. The back and forth was enjoyable too. For those of you expecting a documentary about Egypt, or a Shawshank redemption heart puller, can I ask what made you expect either?

Did I just watch a Pixar movie? Where was the efficient story telling? The deep characters? The relate-able themes? The originality in presentation? It's like I watched a poorly mish-mashed spam of a dozen different movies over the past 20 years. The "twist" of dog-like humans served no plot purpose and caused this movie to make even less sense. 3/10 because whoever did the environment animations deserves an award.

At times we overestimate **** leaders as dark demagogues that are incomprehensible. Documentaries like these remind us that they were nothing but men; and often even less than that.

For a while I thought I was was watching a humorless comedy. The over the top dramatization and glorification made the entire thing feel like a mockumentry. I have see better quality from North Korean puff films. The acting is fine. It's the script that makes you cringe. Heads up to the director; you're trying too hard to make a point from where none exists.

Blew me away. Was an excellent movie to watch with my wife and daughter. One of those bonding movies that reminds you to take the bad with the good, and to use both to learn and love more. I am grateful to the directors for compressing these complex ideas into such a concise and well crafted narrative.

This movie will age horribly. Ever been on one of those really old Disney rights that depict "their" version of our present? This entire movie feels a lot like that. You cannot help but cringe by Disney's attempts to oversimplify contemporary problems. Worse yet is how many "problems" they take as fact. Between the long bits of political diatribe and shaming lectures aimed at their audience, they attempt to sprinkle "wish on a star" magic that comes off as both cliche and naive. All in all, a solid waste of time.

Wow, the critics were really harsh on this one. I came expecting the worst and came out utterly confused by how good the movie was. Did the critics and I watch the same movie? 99% of the time I hate hate hate children actors, but by the end of Self/less, even I felt a real attachment to the fate of the young daughter. The entire movie was well crafted and executed. Give it a try. It really is an interesting watch.

The title fits the movie. The casting was horrible. It felt as though the actors were trying too hard to be characters from a script they did not understand. The movie progressed awkwardly and ended in a way that felt unfulfilling. But hey, maybe I am not the director's audience.

It feels like people are being a bit too critical of this movie. Honestly, it delivered us exactly what it promised, "action that is fun to watch." You will not be moved to tears or inspired to be an ant. However, you will laugh, nod, and speculate throughout the film. All and all, this movie was just fun to watch.

It took me a while to finally sum up my feelings about Jurassic World: SILLY. On almost a dozen instances I found myself in the theater with hands out and palms up in confusion, wondering: why is this in here? The movie has so many old tropes. You will find yourself rolling your eyes, or shifting in discomfort over the dialogue. All and all, 2/10 for horrible scripting/plot. 8/10 for plenty of CGI action.

It seems as though the writers are completely out of touch. The gags were old and played out. It felt like watching 100 straight hours of family guy. That is, the longer you watch the more you see through the movie's randomness and realize there is no real humor, no irony, no scope, no originality. The whole thing feels lazy. Its self-righteousness also detracts from the attempted humor and makes you wonder if they were trying to be serious or funny, because they failed to be either.

Meh. Cliche after cliche. Also, never really understood the motivation of the possession or what the cause. The entire movie was slow to progress. Once the action began it made no sense. Why an omnipotent being was toying with her prey is really never explained. The whole thing felt so shallow. Pity, because the general premise had great potential.

Don't know why the critics are so hard on this one. Yes Morgan feels like he phoned it in. Otherwise, it was a fairly good movie. It was refreshing to see a westernized take on the extreme honour system. The mix of styles was fun too.

Wow! Just wow! I was up, I was down. How engrossing a movie. I am deeply impressed by how much emotion and story they were able to put down in under 3 hours. All the while, I never felt rushed or lost. The what ifs and only ifs make this movie a pleasure to watch. Hats off to everyone involved in its making!

The movie was an audio/visual assault. My wife forced me to take her to watch it. 20 minutes in she was already whispering apologies for the wreck and regret of wasting her movie choice turn on such a poorly directed piece. It seems the cast and director never had a sit down to review and cohesive vision for the remake thoughout the entire filming.

Were it not for the hack, this movie would have been an unknown bomb quietly fizziling to an early DVD release. Now, that is irony. Must fill in the remaining space because metacritic does not believe in succinct reviews.

My family got tickets to an early showing. The movie was excellent. The atmosphere was refreshingly different, the characters fleshed out, the plot touching, and the humor was rich and consistent . I would recommend this one to anyone, and especially to couples and families with children.
