AWESOME. If people didn't like the first one, why do they even bother to watch the second? I really liked this sequel and I DO understand the hype about this franchise. And Max is actually one of the best Mel Gibson's characters ever.
To enjoy this film you have to buy into its weirdness. I did and had a good time with it, despite the bonkers plot. Cage is great here bringing his usual brand of cool and he is clearly having a good time in the role.
Bunch of random set pieces with incoherent story arc tying them all together. Definitely suffers from sequel-itis.
Nothing special at all about this movie, rather dull and too long.
Stunning visuals wasted on a shockingly uninspired screenplay.
Like an NFT, this looked good but I wasn't invested in it.
Let's face it, if this was Andy's favorite movie, has questionable taste in movies.
When do we go for a ride?
Visually beautiful film and the performances are great, especially from Bale. However, the pace is slow as molasses in the first 3/4s of the movie.
Agreed, this is my favorite Cage movie.
The second one is Face Off, and the third is National Treasure. xP
It’s so funny to me how this kids movie with lego characters has deeper and more challenging things to say than most movies that are made for adults.
The way that this is constructed as a narrative is truly genius.
It’s essentially a big ode to creativity, but it also takes a firm stance about how corporatism can ruin it by favouring predictability and stability.
Not to mention that it also looks great, the voice acting is top notch and the animation is inventive.
And it manages to be funny for all ages.
It feels a bit too long though, which comes as a result of it being as fast paced as it is and makes it overstay its welcome.
The Lego Movie is ridiculously fun while offering more than just that. Richly layered plot, fantastic animation and a sense of humor that is self aware offer more than what you expect.
I had low expectations about this movie, I didn’t even want to watch it. So, because it did better than I expected, I liked it.
Oh! And I’m a lesbian now :rainbow:
Amazing visual spectacle but tedious and full of clichés.
The movie is boring, but hilarious if watched with friends. 5/10 for bare Hulk butt. This movie is a crime against editing, my eyes were bleeding by the end of it. Almost made me as nauseous as Battlefield Earth did.
I watch this and Die Hard every year between The Santa Clauses just to keep me from getting too cheery.
World Premiere Review - 4/19/17
Still a lot of fun, but suffers from sequelitis. Bottom line, you'll have a ton of fun with this, especially if you're familiar with the backstory and characters. The most common problem is slow pace. Scenes go on for too long. Second, the tone is all over the place to where its slightly confusing. I can't imagine what it must feel like watching this if you're not familiar with the material. Music is used perfectly as the first one did. It's enjoyable and fun and that's all I expect from movies like this.
Stray observation: Stallone can barely get his lines off without having a stroke...he can't possibly keep getting casted because he's the best person available...
What an incredible story, with so many layers, I've honestly lost count.
Please watch it to the very end, it is worth it, believe me! I thought the movie was super average at best, especially towards the end, but there was a specific scene that the moment it happened, certain things about the story clicked, and it became beyong relatable for me within the span of a single second.
To say I'm pleasantly surprised is a grave understatement.
To conclude: everything is awesome.
Beautiful film, but pacing is excruciatingly slow as the very simple story is stretched out too much and the characters are too boring to carry it. Its still required reading for movie lovers, but its not a classic I’m wanting to revisit anytime soon
If you're a sci-fi or Toy Story nerd, this movie will probably prompt more questions than it answers. The world-building is shallow, the sci-fi concepts are under-baked, and the way this movie fits into the Toy Story universe is vague at best.
If you're not worried about that kind of stuff and/or you are a child, then you'll probably enjoy this as a space-y action movie that expands on a character you know, and adds a new bunch that you don't.
Overall, Lightyear is a fine movie, but it definitely feels more like a (2010s) Disney movie, than a Pixar movie of any sort. It's missing a lot of that heart and charm Pixar is so well-known for, and that's probably the most disappointing part of all.
Just give us a Handsome Cavill Sherlock series/movie...unfortunately this was terribly boring.
I started to loose all interest in the series by the third movie. First off Bumblebee. Yes the car radio thing was a nice gimmick the first time round, but he got his voice back...WHY is he still doing this? (I gather it's not a spoiler but better play it safe...)
Featuring awards worthy work from David Oyelowo, Selma rides the power of its true story to magical effect.
Female version of a Happy Madison film, aka defrauding a studio of millions of dollars for an all expense paid vacation for the producers' friends under the guise of filming a movie.
One of the most fascinating characters I've come across even if he is a garbage human being.
wtf is with 80s sequels and the "just add kids" formula? They all suck. Movie starts off entertaining, then the child actors come in and its down hill from there.
This movie is so much fun, almost from start to finish.
These old Bond films just do not hold up well. Sean Connery's one-liners never get old, but good god the pacing is horrendously slow and action is repetitive. The Connery Bond films are just, SET PIECES: THE MOVIE. If have to watch one more blast door or rocket silo open, I'm gonna Xenia an Onatopp.
