nameless

The movie is incredible in parts and tedious in others. Fast-forward through anything with Chris Hemsworth in the first 35 minutes. He just breaks you out of the movie because it is so obvious he is playing some role, not good. This is a wonderful movie, he is just miscast. I thought Anya Taylor-Joy would be the distraction, but she disappears into the role. There is a great movie in here; it just needs to be re-edited.

I was so looking forward to this movie. It was enjoyable right up until Conor McGregor appears Then everthing felt fake after that. It just got stupid. Watch the first half, excellent; be prepared to fast forward in the 2nd half. I don't know what the director was thinking, and he is a good director, but definitely off his game.

I fell asleep twice in the movie. If Barbies were not part of your world growing up, you have nothing to relate to. The last 30 minutes turned into a sermon. Though shall believe this!!! After all the hype I felt ripped off afterwards.

The opening and first half are great. The second half of the movie becomes a parody of itself. I found myself saying to myself, this is absurd... I no longer cared about what happened to these people because the action became ridiculous. Clearly, they just couldn't let go of some of the scenes because they cost so much to shoot. It just goes on and on and on with the same action. See on DVR or some other means where you can control the chase and fight scenes so you can fast forward. Do I want to see the first half again, absolutely; the second half, no. I have to remember this when part two comes out.

Bear is great. A couple of the actors are excellent. The movie is just lazy direction and editing. Formulaic, and not even in a good way.

I had to come back and lower my evaluation. I keep thinking, and it just got worse with time. Great premise... but so many plot holes so they have excuses for the action. Yes, the other reviews were correct, cliche after cliche. The screenplay is the worst, and the editing and cinematography are great. Without superheroes in their story, to cover the plot holes, it just falls apart. If you decide to see it, make sure you have the ability to fast forward through the boring parts (most of the fight scenes where they just hit each other forever). The normal wooden acting from Gosling, but since most everyone are one-dimensional characters it does not really matter. Oh, and in case you care, there are no character arcs for any of the characters, just action.

Wow, this was really bad. Yes, the connection to past spiderman movies was good but everything else was terrible. Every problem in the movie, spiderman caused. I saw this because of a recommendation but this was a waste of my time. If you like to see the same fistfight over and over again, watch this.

Wow, this was really bad. Every problem he faced, he caused. I have been a fan for years and the connection to previous spiderman movies was brilliant, but terrible outside of that. This is the same marvel fistfights we have seen for years. I saw this because of a recommendation. I want the time I spent watching back in my life. What a waste.

I love Adam McKay's work. However, the casting severely handicapped this movie. We don't see characters, we see well-known serious actors trying to be comedic. It came off as amateurish. Jennifer Lawrence or Merle Steep... who is more deserving of a Razzie? The role for Ariana Grande fit her better. I'm so glad it was streaming. That way you can appreciate Adam McKay's script and fast forward through the excruciating acting.

Sorry I had to come back and change my review. I love, love, love James Bond movies but this is just bad. James Bonds movies have a built-in set of rules, we accept those rules which permits us to suspend our disbelief so we enjoy the ride. This movie broke that covenant between audience and producer. I left the movie with a sick feeling in my stomach. In trying to be different, this movie became an art film. If you can tolerate the versions with George Lazenby or Timothy Dalton (which I think are unwatchable) you will be OK with this one. This is not Daniel Craig's fault it is Barbara Broccoli's fault. I went to the movie theater to see this movie... don't do that. Wait until you can see it for free and fast forward. They had two endings, they chose the worst possible one. I will not be seeing the next James Bond in the movie theatre. I have learned my lesson.

There are some clever parts but mostly generic parts. What really hurts the movie is that every time Scarlett Johansson is on the screen, that is all you see is the actress saying her lines. In Lucy, I see her character, not in this movie, it is just a lot of posing like a superhero. skip this movie.

It is one of the director's more challenging films to follow but worth the effort. I loved the concept and how he tried to communicate it. It kept me watching but... and it is a big but. You must turn on Closed Captioning to understand the constant explanations throughout the movie. The actors "mumble" (for dramatic effect). You must turn on CC right from the beginning or you will become lost very quickly. The lighting decisions do not work (for dramatic effect). Often I could not see the protagonist's expressions (nor read his lips) as he was moving or in the shadows. An extremely flawed movie that might be really good the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time watching but not the 1st time. This movie was made specifically for the movie theatre where you can focus. Your computer or at home on the TV, not so much.

An imperfect but good movie. It is worth your time. The negative reviews from critics are much more about the biases they brought than the movie they saw. The acting is incredible. For Amy Adams to play this role took a lot of courage because it is not a likable character. Yes, it is imperfect, the screen adaptation from the book is not very good but the story will resonate.

It is the movie "Heaven Can Wait" (1943 and 1978). Not sure why the people scenes are animated. The "uncanny valley" problem is huge, it pulls you out of the movie, over and over again. It really is a live-action & animated movie. It isn't "The Incredibles" where the character's powers and stylization make sense. They tried to make it for all audiences and in the end, it isn't made for anyone. It is not for little kids because the theme is adult philosophical ideas and it is not for adults because the pacing and visuals are for kids. If you like "Inside Out" this will work for you, if you were just OK with "Inside Out" then make sure you have your fast forward button handy.

Wow, there are some really good scenes and acting in this movie and the pacing is good. Wow, there are some really really bad scenes in this movie and the ending is the worst. If you can watch it, so you can fast forward through the bad stuff (you will know immediately what I'm talking about, it is so obvious) and then know the last 10 seconds are the worst... it is a enjoyable ride.

I guess I should congratulate on Hathaway becoming the next Nicole Kidman. If she is the star of the movie, then it is not good. Kidman figured out how to accept "character" roles. We will see if Hathaway can manage a similar transtion. In regards to this movie, I must admit I had to start fast forwarding.

Excellent. You have an idea of what is going to happen but not how. I was constantly surprised. Yes, it is not politically correct but I do buy into the characters. Saw the Old Guard at about the same time. This doesn't have the big stars, the cinematography, the convoluted plot... but it was so much more enjoyable. Yes, the plot was implausible but with just enough possiblity to keep it going. Ignore the bad reviews, they took the subtext of politics too seriously.

It starts so well. Cinematography, acting... then the rational just falls apart. I'm sure it worked in the script, but somewhere along the way it is clear the director or actors had other ideas. The Nile character doesn't work. She does things for no reason, is just angry for no apparent reason, has no curiosity about what is happening. I had to stop watching and then go back later and fast forward. The movie just goes off the rails.

I've thought about this movie a lot. I've loved Scorsese movies for decades. But this is not good. Initially, I would rate it a 5 but on reflection, this was a complete waste of my time. I can not figure out why people are raving about it. DeNiro is terrible. He does an impersonation of himself as a young man but he is moving like old man. I can't believe people are really watching the whole thing, they must be fast-forwarding through parts of it and not telling anyone. I have that same feeling about this movie that I had after watching any of the Star Wars 1,2,3 that Lucas went back and made. I apologize to Scorsese because you have an immense talent, but I suspect you already know it doesn't work.

A sophomoric movie that did really well at the box office. I don't understand it unless it was made for teenagers. I had to fast forward through parts of it because it became just too boring and predictable. Keep your fast forward button ready.

I could only get through part of it. Renee is a fine actress but this portrayal doesn't work. Renee pops off the screen, there is no judy. Do you recall Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn in Aviator, if that was OK for you, you won't be bothered but it is that bad for me. If you are after the history because your grandmother loved Judy Garland than this will be fine. But if you know Judy Garland's voice and inflections then this will be fingernails on a chalkboard.

Save your money, it works better when you have the opportunity to fast forward. The users are correct, ignore the professionals. Brad Pitt holds this movie together but it is hard to say this is a movie, it is really a novel brought to the screen. Very little action. Mostly Brad Pitt narrating his thoughts as he moves from point A to point B to point C... Our thoughts are the strength of a novel but not a movie. I think the only reason this got released to the theaters inside of direct to DVD is Brad Pitt.

I knew I shouldn't have gone after reading the reviews but everyone was up for action. The reviews are accurate; it is a retread of everything before and then we put in lots more fight scenes to give it a sense of stakes. Interestingly, the current Jennifer Lawrence curse continues, if she is in the movie, it will tank. This movie is about getting the last dollar out of the franchise. Then again Captain Marvel was far worse than this and made tons of money. My hat is off to the marketing professionals at Disney, they made the right choice not to waste money on this one.

I know there a lot of haters out there but if you have seen the movie you know it is bad. The acting is wooden, the running of the character is terrible, everything is not as it seems. It is a formula movie. The USER SCORES are correct.

It hits the emotional beats you want going in. It is imperfect (dialogue problems, acting problems, cliches that hit you over the head) but it does move you emotionally in the way you want it to. I felt good watching but afterward, you start to feel a bit manipulated because it was left incomplete (sequel needed to complete the story. This doesn't ruin the ending but on reflection, you are left knowing you paid for a full movie but got shortchanged. It suffers from the same problem as "John Carter", they fell in love with the original story. They spent so much time on making the eyes perfect and the machinery glittery but the lighting didn't feel real. Sort of like they hired so many modelers they couldn't afford to hire enough lighters to get it right. See this is the problem when I start thinking more about it, I could see why there are low reviews. However, if you are under 25 you won't be bothered by any of this; it is a great ride and if you are a girl in high school you will love it!!

If you like Liam Neeson's current crop of movies than you will like this one. It has interesting twists and turns that keeps one wondering how everything will connect. It feels a bit transplanted, it wants to be a Cohen Brothers movie but lacks the emotional thread that makes their movies work. There are some serious casting problems. At times it felt like many of there were "acting". It is entertaining. I read the reviews and was a bit hesitant to go but then noticed how the reviews took a nosedive after his interview problems. Definitely a bias there, just check the date of when the professionals submitted their reviews and you see what I mean.

The trailer was intriguing. I always enjoy McConaughey. The ride wasn't so bad but every time Hathaway appeared the continuity was gone.... nothing believable. She really can't act outside of her stereotype. If you like McConaughey it isn't that bad. Just be prepared.

OK, I have to admit I could only get through part of this. The cliches were a killer. The caricatures were terrible, with Alissa Milano's character being the worst, no wonder she turned to politics. It is obvious the movie is a studio package, assembled to fill airtime.

It is good for 80% of the movie then it turns into an "art film" that loses its way. See it on cable or TV so you can fast forward, ending the audience's pain as the director lost their way in the editing process and obviously changed their mind about the ending. That is why the reviews are so mixed. Only the most elitist critics are giving it high marks.

Maybe I've just seen too many movies. This movie employs so many cliches in the dialogue that only young people who haven't heard them countless times will think this is new fresh stuff. Yes, the visuals, and animation is outstanding. But it feels like a blender of news headlines, standards personal doubts scenarios, and bits and pieces of numerous other films they have ripped off. I don't understand how reviewers are saying this is so original... it is the wrapper that is different, and maybe that is all that is required today. That said, if you are a high school student you will love it, there is no reason you shouldn't.

Loved the franchise but the well is dry. Visuals are great... but this film should be seen on cable so you can fast forward through the predictable parts harvested from every other Rocky film.

I thought the directin and editing worked but the actress just kept pulling me out of the movie. It was more like an acting exercise... watch me do this, and now I'm going to do this. This is definitely a watch on cable so you can get to the interesting parts and move past all the miscast emotive bits.

Well shot, interesting subject... maybe its me but Gosling use to be so good now he is a wooden cutout of himself. I thought it was maybe the movie but saw him promoting and he is the same way. It is like he has lost interest in the craft and wants to do something else, and it shows.

It is part Spike Lee, a solid filmmaker, and it is part Michael Moore. Spike Lee channeling Michael Moore kills everything that goes before it. It is so weird because he uses the audience's intelligence in the beginning to make connections and then by the end he treats the audience as if they must told everything. Go see "Inside Man" again to see the director at his best, this is not it.

I love the Mission Impossible series but this one you can skip until it is on cable. 70% of the movie is an A but as much as you try you can't ignore the plot holes, cliches, 2nd ending which they couldn't really solve so did some deus ex machina slight of hand. Ethan Hunt doesn't earn the ending, it was given to him. Then there are people who he has been butting heads with through out the movie, who don't get punished but are given a pass for their ongoing arrogance and stupidity. Next time I'm waiting until it is on TV, not worth the cost or time.

This film is unwatchable. I waited to see it on the plane. I tried 3 times and had to turn it off each time it was so bad. The fake accent, the same expression, the one dimensional characters she plays. So I fast forwarded to the end; her expression was still the same. So if you think the movie might get better when it reaches cable, I'm sorry to tell you it doesn't, but at least you can turn it off.

This is such an individual film that I could have rated it green just as easly. The problem is that it is a Hollywood film for the first hour and then transforms into an Art film for the second hour. Art Films are fine but we all know that Art Films are as formulaic as Hollywood films. There are some incredible scenes but the film really is a bunch of incredible scenes, it isn't a sum of its parts. Yes, her acting supports the film, she will be nomiated because she carries the film. It is a passion film of Del Toro but lacks the cohesiveness of Pan's Labyrinth. I'm waiting for the next Pacific Rim.

Since I wrote my first review I went back to see what others thought, making sure I wasn't swayed too much because of the politics in the film. The most interesting discovery was that the NYT and the Washington Post gave it 100% since it was about them. If that isn't disingenuous, I don't know what is. No wonder we have lost trust in the media. You have to remember this movie is fiction, it is based on non-fiction events but like Stone's JFK, it uses partial truths to infuse the narrative.

I should have listened to the users. Good cinematography that is all I can say. If you like pretty pictures and the story doesn't matter, then go see this movie. Matt Damon must have given up on good stories; The Great Wall (Kaboom), Jason Bourne (Kaboom), Suburbicon (Kaboom)... his politics or his paycheck must be all he is into now days.

Arofonsky is channeling David Lynch. If you like David Lynch movies then this one is for you. Pensive expressions, things get worse, more pensive expressions (which Lawrence now uses exclusively in place of actually acting as she did in American Hustle), shouting, things are not what they seem and pasts we can't escape.

It is a great ride. I would agree it doesn't have the motivation of the first one but the ride is very similar. It feels long only because the video game deaths are so over the top but if you are looking for something to escape with go for it.

I so wanted to like this. There is much to like about the story but the editing combined with the director falling in love with the screenplay he wrote, turned it into a cliche of an art film. It is not Gome Baby Gone that Afleck did so well. Definitely watch it, but on cable. It was so excrutiating at times, I so wanted to fast forward. Keeping the camera rolling while nothing happens does not make it deep, it just makes it indulgent. Every scene Michelle Williams is in is incredible. Would she deserve a nomination... YES.

I have given up on Jennifer Lawrence. She has one character she recycles over and over again. I now know that if she is in it, it won't be very good. She has become that cliche of the elite hollywood type that would rather talk politics than do anything good. After the potential of Winters Bone, she has squandered it all away. Can you say Margo Kidder? Can't really say whether this movie is any good, I don't see Jennifer Lawrence movies any longer; don't even watch them on TV.

No heart, nothing that made you love the series to begin with. It is just talking, then a gun fight, more talking, another gun fight, repeat, repeat, repeat. I fell asleep at one point. I don't know whether the screenwriters are that bad, the director butchered what they gave him, or the producer doesn't care except to deliver a product. Disney should be paying you to watch. See it on TV. The production values are excellent but it is emotionally vacant except for some cliches. Believe it or not it is even worse than the Lucas Star Wars films of the 90s and I thought nothing could go that low again. If you have never seen a Star Wars movie and are 12 years old or yonger then this movie is OK. What I couldn't figure out was why does Rey act like a boy for the whole movie? She dressed like a boy, talked like a boy, and acted like boy. Are we now ashamed of being a woman? Also two major plot holes. The first one is 3 minutes in which is a terrible sign that they think the audience is stupid.

It is two stories. A love story and the battlefield story. It is well made and it connects the two. I don't know how I feel about it. It isn't American Sniper that touches the audience, nor is it Braveheart, an almost perfect movie. If you are interested in the subject it will satisfy but if not then it won't.

Insulting, insulting, insulting... If you saw the 1960s version this movie is beyond bad it is insulting. If you see this movie you will lose 2 hours of you life you will want to get back unless you are a 15 year old boy.They gutted it of what made the original work. They even gutted the music. There was nothing at stake, some of the townspeople left. There was no existential crisis for the characters. It wasn't like they were poor farmers and if they left they would starve, or that the banditos had to come back because they were starving. If you have to see it please miss the first 5 minutes with it's big speech that made no sense because the point was ignored. The politically correct 7 ignored everything about the time period you could have used to increase the conflict. Which then proceeded to kill more people that violates everything about the progressive point of view it tries to hammer home in the beginning. The director knew what he was doing, the actors knew what they were doing it is the fault of the producers that couldn't protect this movie from the studio that must be employing 25 year olds that didn't go to film school. I can't even recommend seeing this on cable. I love the manificent Seven premise, I will see all versions (animation, Japanese, superhero etc.) but this is not that movie. It kept only the "7" and threw out everything else. I will tolerate bad movies but not this can't even rise to the level of bad.

The plot flows, the actors can act but the action is a mass of retreads. How many fist fights do I have to see in space movies? Is it studios executives, directors... can they think of nothing else? Captain America, Star Trek, Superman... it is ridiculous. They make this pitch about it is great that we actually came out to the movie theater but I'm just about to stop going because I want to be able to fast forward past the monotonous fist fights that accomplish nothing. There are 3 fist fights in this movie. No point to any one of them.

I love Jason Bourne movies. Will watch them over and over again. As good as Greengrass was with the first 2 movies he is that bad here. It is absurd, absurd, absurd. Plot holes that completely sabotage the audience's ability to empathize and stay with the story. It gets ridiculous!!! The last big scene just goes on and on. I'm thinking that after shooting it anybody with a brain would have cut it but since they spent so much money if they didn't use it then the studio would second guess his future films. Watch this movie on cable so you can fast forward. The last 2 minute scene is the best, everything else just becomes repetitive and believe it or not... boring. I was watching the clock at one point. Matt Damon is as good as ever but this movie does not work!!!

It's a very good movie but you have to pay attention. The pacing was a little too regular for me, started to lose focus in the middle. The ending is left a bit ambiguous which threw things off for me. We were led through most of the film and our job was to keep up and then it ended like some art film. Can't agree with the negative reviews.

?? Why is there review after review that are 8 or 9 and the best they can say is that it isn't that bad. That doesn't make sense. Why pay good money for something that at best is to be tolerated. The studio executives are just going to release more of this junk. Even Jennifer Lawrence says she doesn't see herself as that good as an actress (Graham Norton). You have to do more than look pensive over and over again. Of course when you spend more time during the promotional tour trashing political candidates than promoting the movie the actors must not think much of it.
