Nice camerawork, nice cast, trash story.
Tries to be something bigger than b-movie with big budget and fails miserably.
I was entertained. However:
What on earth was Synder trying to do with the “prior team may actually be us, in a time loop” nonsense? Crazy idea that wound up going nowhere despite the big lampshade he hung on it.
The whole zombie pregnancy thing was an interesting idea that got insufficiently explored.
The opening credits scene was stylish and fun and set a great tone but unfortunately the movie proper never rose to meet it - it was pretty standard zombie fare.
There was a UFO in the beginning (or at least some sort of fast moving light in the sky) that was never explained. Also never explained: a robot zombie - sparks flew from his head when he was shot on the casino floor. It was a quick moment but unambiguously a robot. What was up with that?
“They reanimate when it rains” was a big unfired Chekhov’s Gun. About the same size as Chekhov’s Chainsaw - if a character has a big rotary saw as a weapon, shouldn’t it be used to kill at least one zombie at some point?
Sean Spicer does not deserve to be rehabilitated via cameo.
Like others have pointed out, it's basically Moana + Avatar: The Last Airbender + MLP: Friendship is Magic.
The symbolism was kinda sloppy and shallow. If the Drunn were personifications of human discord, greediness and other dark sides of humanity, then they should've only affected the bad people first and manipulated them to corrupt and turn others evil like them. That would've been a much more realistic and emotionally complex story, I think, especially if people couldn't immediately tell if someone had been turned or not, which is where trust and kindness would come in.
Found it to be over hyped. Didnt really feel the drama or thrill. Kinda lack lustre.
It looked pretty and the story was ok but I don't know... something about it seemed off. Maybe I'm just jaded and can't buy into whole "happily ever after" storylines any more.
Like a battery powered toy robot, it's noisy, flashy and doesn't stand still, but it just runs along its pre-programmed track until it ends predictably.
Sadly, however, this doesn't just run out of juice, it makes a hysterically bad exit...
A decent forgettable action movie that will fill your need to see things explode but not much more.
Sloppily filmed with leaps of imagination that don't make it over the gaps in the story, Angel Has Fallen and can't get up.
I enjoyed the little hammer and Chris scene I also enjoyed Tessa through out the movie. I did not think the movie was terrible it just wasn't great. It was exactly as I rated fair, I feel that the original MIB just has will smiths it factor that is really just hard to top., The story line for this one was pretty predictable.
Despite a pretty good cast. They missed the boat on what made the first one good. Chris Hemsworth is a funny guy with the right material and lines. Here though his Thor like charm almost doesn’t feel right for a Men in Black movie.
Tessa Thompson has gotten most the praise in the bad reviews. While she’s a reliable actress. I can’t really say she steals the show. Thompson and Hemsworth are equally wasted.
I didn’t think Men in Black with different agents was a horrible idea, like many say. I mean, it is an organization with not just J and K as the only agents.
It’s just that nothing special was done with that.
A weird one this. It could have been a good film - the source material is fine, Mads is excellent - but the movie is a bit of a jumble. An uncomfortable mix of comedy and thriller; there are some cool moments, but with a sledgehammer approach and an idiotic script, the final result is a disappointment. A pity, because there was real potential here.
Mads is great. Some of the action is decent. Overall the movie tries too hard. It wants to be stylish but ends up being weird.
It did not meet my expectations that were set by the original trailers that Zack Snyder released. The fun parts are childish due to Whedon reshoots. Characters are deep, but they got dumbed down by reshoots, and the story is simplified.
The flashback scene is beyond awesome. Be sure to stay all the way until the end because the 2nd after credits scene is so good, it will blow your mind.
Also, I am hoping there will be a Snyder Cut because 2 hours just felt too short for this movie, and I know there are a lot more scenes that were cut for theatrical release, just like with BvS and SS.
All in all, it was a decent movie, but we deserve to see the real version of this movie as Zack Snyder intended it to be.

Batman v Superman The Ultimate Edition is far superior to the theatrical release. Take a bathroom break. Line up your snacks. Settle in for a three-hour film experience that is a worthy successor to "Man of Steel."
Too long, often boring, dark atmosphere and more like an psycho-drama-thriller than adventure-action-sci-fi movie. I expected more and was a little bit disappointed from this movie. I was really sure to give it 10 points score but I can't give it more than 7 and that's only for the final battle and Wonder Woman, otherwise it would be 6. There are two B v S scenes and that's really not much for the movie called Batman v Superman.
And the end with 10 mins funeral...well...another cliché we saw too many times. We know he cannot die because of another movies and series and yet we have to watch 10 minutes funeral...why?
And what about Lex and Crypton ship? The most-advanced tech inside the ship and you can access the system with the Zod skin on your fingers? No other bio-metrics check? With all that technology? WTF?
I believe we fans deserve more than this.
An entertaining but otherwise forgettable middle-of-the-road comedy that's saved by a really enjoyable cast.
awesome movie! perfect if you want romance and humor
Was expecting something else entirely, not just a twisted spy story. And in the end it was one twist to many
Movie looks great though, attention to details is amazing. And es mentioned by others the soundtrack is brilliant. That is the upside in an otherwise rather generic, albeit diverting, action flick.
Atomic Blonde is a simple concept with the idea of empowering the female role within the action/spy genre, basically turning James Bond into a girl. I don't care for that as long as the movie is good, The movie looks great at first... She can kick ass. But after a while, that's all there is.
I enjoyed the actions but in the end... Meh
But I think if you enjoy watching a hot blonde beat the crap out of men.. You'll like it.
Ok enough when considering that most movies based on popular books tend to be a let down. The script dose not come close to the book, but that is to be expected. The casting was ok enough, and the actors did the job as expected. All in all...good enough entertainment for an evening in front of the TV.
This was a bad b-movie, nothing made sense chaotic story and really ridiculous situations. The dialogous was abysmal
