There’s like 2 or 3 scenes where Hugh Jackman gets to act. Those are pretty good until you realize we’ve seen those beats already in a better movie. Moreover, there are a couple of well executed fights, for example there’s a tracking shot near the end that was definitely a lot of fun. Besides that, I wouldn’t hesitate to call this a schlockfest. The script is so tacky and forced, it makes The Flash seem coherent by comparison. Don’t even try to put any effort in understanding the logic or motivations of characters, even more so than No Way Home the script is just there to link together whatever’s on Reddit’s wishlist. The comedy has only gotten more infantile since Deadpool, it’s self-aware to the point where it becomes extremely irritating. It already knows what people are going to bitch about, but rather than fixing those issues, it just throws them right back at us. Pointing out the lazy cameo porn in your own movie doesn’t mean you get a pass for doing it. Hugh Jackman is a sellout for doing this piece of junk, yes we know mr. Reynolds, very cool. This movie is like a piece of bubblegum, it’ll lose its flavour once the dopamine starts to wear off. There should’ve been way more focus on the relationship between Wade and Logan, as well as the villain (pretty good performance by an underused Emma Corin). That’s the core of the movie, but it’s pushed to the background in favour of being an extended SNL sketch. Technically the film’s not very good either. Shawn Levy still doesn’t know how to shoot a movie, almost everything looks fake and washed out, especially when compared to previous Deadpool installments. The score is entirely forgettable and the basic b*tch needle drops - while ironically funny at points - get a bit eye-rolling. Throughout I just kept thinking about the use of DMX and the more subversive spirit of Deadpool. Why is this movie so much dumber when its audience has matured by eight years? Shouldn’t we push the subversiveness a little bit further with the introduction of shows like The Boys? Clearly it doesn’t hold back in regards to language, drug references or violence, and it even allows for Feige and Disney to poke fun at themselves. However, it all feels watered down and calculated, which essentially renders the character meaningless. Is Disney just too afraid to deconstruct its own bread and butter besides acknowledging that they’re at a low right now? I’d argue you’re not gonna save this genre unless you’re willing to take an honest, critical look at what’s wrong with it. What better character to do that with than the merc with a mouth?
3/10
They never should have made this into a "universe".
Overly-complicated long fights that make no sense.
Keanu has 10 lines literally.
The only time he delivers lines with emotion is when he's speaking to Laurence Fishburne or - surprisingly - when he's talking in Russian.
Too many new characters that are there only to be killed / to be forgotten and basically nobody cares about them.
The villain is weak.
Too long, which equals too boring.
I am convinced that people just don't get what a good action movie is these days, not only because of the majority of the comments here, but also most people in my theatre liked it so much. Just because there are long complicated fight scenes, doesn't mean that this is a good action movie.
First John Wick film is a perfection. Second one was also very good. I will rewatch them and pretend that this was never a "universe".
I was tuned in until the end cause what?! I get life is bleak and it’s great at showing the ruthless violence that comes with the situation, but I feel like nothing really got resolved? idk maybe I’m missing something
Read what a Colour Revolution is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_revolution) and you'll realise that George Floyd and BLM were pawns to orchestrate one in the USA.
It's ironic that a regime-change mechanism designed by the USA (to be used against unfriendly foreign regimes) was used against her own people, to change the Trump-regime. Those of us living today (in 2022) are witnessing the end of the US empire along with her Western allies. Their own citizens are leading the destruction, same as it was in Libya, Iraq etc.
This documentary only covers the Floyd/BLM/Identity-Politics arch of the Colour Revolution, told from a political commentator's point of view. At this point in time there are multiple story arcs in play, that involve the western financial system, energy supply, food supply and national security. It is my estimate that this stage of the revolution will continue for at least the next two years. The next milestone is the 2024 US election.....
The main message is the film is, "Yes the Armenian genocide was serious, but not as serious as this melodramatic love triangle!" WTF?!
To use the attempted extinction of a race of people as a backdrop for a romance is criminal. The subject merited a 3-hour, big budget epic film rather than whatever this was.
P.S. If you do see this film (and you have no one to blame but yourselves), wait around for the credits to listen to #ChrisCornell singing the film's theme song, 'The Promise'.
The fact that the main stream media is telling you not to watch this movie tells you everything you need to know — it's a must watch for everyone!
Haven't watched it yet. I'm just surprised Netflix produced to show with a heterosexual couple.
I thought they didn't believe in male female relationships anymore
I feel like I need to watch this movie throughly because it's rated so high and I can't see why.
Firstly our killer Anton escapes his cuffs faster than a magician that needs a piss. He strangles an officer looking a like crazed rat with a lego man haircut. Then he kills another man with a cattle gun whilst being polite. So I guess this is our psycho?
A man called Llewelyn slowly follows a blood trail through a drug deal gone bad and finds some money. He goes back home to his wife who's character relies on asking question after question. Llewelyn sends his wife away and decides to go back to the dangerous scene because.. It's really a basic plot set up? He out runs a jeep until he escapes into a river where he out swims a dog and shoots it. I'm fine with that.
Anton is back. He's now in threaten mode. He's questioning questions... because that's a deep and psychological character trait for a slow walking, frozen faced, mumbling psycho cliché. There's a coin toss full of pretentious meaning for the sake of making Anton appear a complex. Feels more like for a Hollywood award. Anyway he kills two more. Still no police interested in this escaped psycho. Is this a glorified slasher movie?
Sheriff Ed appears. He's to old for this shit and appears a bit senile.
Anton brakes into Llewelyn's home with the cattle gun. It blows locks clean out. He traced Llewelyn because he went back to the drug deal scene (obviously killed people there too) and found Llewelyn's jeep and some personal items. He drinks some milk to leave behind a clue.
The Sheriff is not far behind because he was also at the drug scene and recognised Llwelyn's jeep. He gets to Llewyn's home and jokes they're after a man that drinks milk like they're clueless. How about start with the escaped psycho that has connections and killed an officer?
Llewelyn gets a motel room some miles away with free hbo and hides the money in the air conditioning system. The movie is pretty good so far apart from the philosophical terminator aka Anton.
Llewelyn, who doesn't know the money is bugged switches hotel rooms anyway, still has access to the money through the air vent system. Another lazy set up for a scene that leaves holes.
Anton traced the money pretty fast and walks around barefoot outside the motel room. Quirky. Anton enters Llewelyn's first rented room and kills three cartel members who are also after the money and have traced it. How did they get there? Didnt Llewyn notice as all he's doing is listening out?
Llewelyn escapes and you'd think he'd move to the other side of the country. Nope. He hitchhikes still not far enough away for the tracer to be ineffective. A new motel room. No hbo. By the time Llewelyn actually checks the money (why only now) and finds out he's bugged he hears someone outside the door? There is some good tension building. Obviously it's Anton who is a dab hand at using tracer by now. I think Anton killed the desk guy at the motel. Still non police or witnesses. The police have better things to do like question the point of it all.
A motel gun fight ends up in the streets. Nobody is around and nobody calls the police. Antons prefer stealth method during this tense shootout is to noisily walk slowly in the middle of the street. Guns are fired and Anton the escapologist dissappears.
Injured Llewelyn hides the money and gets into Mexico because he's drinking a beer and wearing coat whilst covered in blood. Brilliant disguise. Is that a typical Mexican?
Woody Harrelson's character Carson has previously been seen talking about how crazy Anton is. Because we never would have guessed. Here he's found Llewelyn in a Mexican hospital. How did that happen? Dont ask. The only questions must be from Anton asking questions about question. Carson takes a walk and happens to find the case of hidden money. Carson is psychic? Carson returns to his room and bumps into Anton. What timing. Anton attempts another illogical deep and meaningful Oscar nomination winning chat but is interrupted by the phone ringing. Anton shoots Carson in that cold way psychos in average movies do and answers the phone. Bye Carson. Thanks for being a part. Anton and llewelyn exchange threats on the phone. The movie is getting a little slow now with only half an hour left.... at some point Anton killed Carson's boss and got all deep again but I forget when....
Llewelyn goes to another motel room after being let back into the United States because he was in Vietnam. Great. Murcia! Proud. So why not just go get your wife now and vanish? Nah.
The Sheriff, obviously on his own because it's merely a simply drug cartel and mass murder case, finds a dead Llewelyn in his hotel room after the cartel sped away. Sheriff Ed is still wandering to himself what it's all about. That's what his character does rather then call the FBI.
Sheriff Ed goes back to the motel where Llewelyn was murdered. Why? He notices the lock has been air shot out. He's noticed this pattern. The only thing he has noticed. There is a coin on the floor. Sign of a coin toss whether Anton would shoot Ed? But Anton is in the room hiding. What timing Anton has. Ed goes away. He's had his pointless visit.
Time for Sheriff Ed's Oscar winning chat with a pal. It's no country for an old man y'know...
Anton finds Llewelyn's widow because he's keeping a promise to kill her. Just how deep is this Anton? She asks for mercy and the best Anton can offer is a coin toss. Because life is a coin toss.... We don't see if he kills her or not because that would be obvious filmmaking and we want it to be obviously unobvious. Just like the anti climax death of Llewelyn. Genius. Where's the award?
Anton is in a car accident that you easily anticipate. It's his very own coin toss. How clever. Genius. He has a bone sticking out his arm but refuses to stay for an ambulance. Does he even have to worry if an officer shows up? Nobody cares about mass murderers.
Sheriff Ed with some final coming of age dialogue and reflection . END
The movie had potential but Anton in particular was a stack clichés. Why did Anton want tge money anyway? The hell is he going to use it for? Maybe we'll see him gambling in a sequel screaming 'Vegas baby yeah' while killing someone with a chainsaw?
I can't recall any character development at all. The plot was a decent man hunt at times (I can excuse a few coincidences) but it was full of coincidences and the time line was a basic dot connec2ti on that wasn't even hidden. The dialogue was fine but pretentious with Antony and stagnant with the Sheriff. People lap this stuff up to feel smart about themselves and to feel like they've watched something special. Movie manipulation at its finest. Also the filmmakers show that if you use good actors and make a film look good enough and add pseudo intellectual dialogue, you can get away with it. This whole movie feels it's sole contrived purpose was to grab some awards and be credited as a smart movie. Pretty self indulgent film making. Job done I suppose. I don't even mind bad films if they know they're bad and entertain but when they pretend they're clever with cheap dialogue and then attract elitists.. annoying
Horrifying that this is actually happening in the world. And mind boggling that more people are affected by slavery now than when it was legal.
It also sickens me that they had to battle for 5 years for this film to be shown.
This is a very weird movie, but not by its content. Hard to tell whether it was worth watching.
Visually it's nice, extremely clean and ordered. But 90% of what happens has absolutely no interest. Family picnic. Wife showing the garden to her mother. Some random conversations. Dictation of work letters. Administrative work. It is very boring, soporific even.
The only interest comes from knowing who those people are and the whole context, and the contrast with the banality of their lives, with the clinical simplicity of administrative decisions.
The whole camp is hidden behind a wall. There is just a background noise, far away, muffled, some cries, some gunshots. And the chimneys smoke.
Among what is banal but extremely shocking by the context:
- The mother complaining she could not get her neighbour's curtains.
- The commander getting a new post, but her wife complaining about losing her garden
- The sales pitch of the new generation crematorium
- Being so happy that the plan is named after him that he calls his wife in the middle of the night
- Ashes used as fertilizer in the garden
The only small moments that acknowledge the violence are:
- the wife, upset, threatening the maid that she could have her incinerated just like that
- the commander having a young girl sent to his office
- in the commanders meeting, the word "extermination" is said once, but all the rest is just logistics and quotas
At the end, a cutscene shows people cleaning the camp, and it takes a while to realize they are cleaning the current day Auschwitz museum, I guess showing the continuity of mundane tasks in all circumstances.
So in the end, this is definitely a work of art that succeeds in what it's trying to achieve. However the boringness is what makes it special, and you can't avoid the fact that it is mostly boring. Not to watch when sleepy or tired.
This movie won so many Oscars. I really don't understand why. Sure it is well filmed but it has no story whatsoever. It is boring and there is a police officer in the movie who just talks but does not add anything at all. Seriously, what did he have to do in the movie? The story is not sustainable for five cents, not much for action either. How can a role where the actor has ten lines of replicas and a face mint throughout the movie even become Oscar nominated?
Overrated boring movie not good
Scary stuff what our garbage government is becoming.
Don't waste your time
Dont bother with this if you have not watched all the other 1000 movies and 100 tv shows that make up the MCU.
It felt like hanging out with some random friend group you’re not a part of and they are making inside jokes for 2 hours straight.
I watched the other 2 Deadpool movies and all x-men and Wolverine movies but still did not understand a lot of what was happening.
A movie to enjoy the ride that leads to nowhere.
Everything was going excellent and the... that ending. Javier Bardem did his best performance here, he is outstanding. But this movie has some unanswered questions and illogical situations that lowered the movie. And that inconclusive ending. So basically it is a movie to enjoy the ride because it leads to nowhere.
yeah maybe everybody just dies in real life but that doesn't make a great movie damnit, 1.5 hours of brilliance followed by eh! fuck it.
People hate the ending because it doesn't give the audience the big showdown they were expecting. Good guy vs bad guy. Marvel style. People hate subtext.
It's one of those endings that makes one of the top google suggestion be "ending explained".
A movie without any music, I was surprised and i loved it, it helps the mood. The psychopath is one of the scariest bad guy i've ever seen. The first hour and a half was extremely oppressing. I loved it ! I found the last thirty minutes were not as good.
If they could time-shift this movie back 5 or 10 years it would be a piece of fiction that could/would never happen in real life and the critics would have destroyed it. But right now in 2020, it's actually happening in real-time.
I'm not American and don't live there, so politically it has no bearing in my life, but holy crap! America - you are in a boatload of trouble.
A well-made movie that everyone should take the time to see - regardless of your political leanings. 10/10
abI watched The Verdict for the first time a while back and, while I didn't love it, it did remind me of how great Paul Newman is, so I figured I'd go back and hit some of his other films. Based on the title, I assumed this was going to be another courtroom drama, but I was happily surprised when that wasn't the case. I found the legal sandbox of The Verdict quite limiting and full of clichés, so this story's wider scope, intersecting with organized crime, newspapers, politics, etc. provided a much more compelling story. Combine that with some great dialogue and Paul Newman's usual charm and you've got a solid movie. I'd also call out the excellent early scene where Sally Field's character discusses the initial story with the paper's lawyer (an excellent John Harkins) - just fantastic dialogue and delivery that really hammers home the premise.
I actually enjoyed this movie more than I expected.
On the woke meter: acceptable.
Another garbage movie from Disney groomers
Best comedy of the last decade.
Pretty dang good. Definitely feminist garbage but good action.
Most movies hold your hand and spoon feed you the story; 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' steals your spoon, blindfolds you, and pushes you down some stairs. Greatly enjoyed its change of pace and approach. George Smiley is Batman.
"Little boy. Believe the impossible"
I was captivated by the acting, as well as the cinematography and special effects contained on this great production. I'm glad to see that the filmmakers and actors are bringing this kind of messages to the world through art reminding us that love is the force that brings us all together and that's the path to follow as humanity. I loved Eduardo Verástegui's performance by showing Little Boy the importance of faith. It made me think about how we must have the strength to defend the truth even when some people don't see it. It also made me remember that if we have the courage to go the right way and follow our goals or dreams, based on good intentions, God will give us what we need to get trough difficulties. Not only is it a very entertaining movie with a deep emotional content, but it is also an example of kindness and compassion, great job on bringing all together. The film made me cry, laugh and feel identified at some point with the characters. It takes you on an exciting emotional roller coaster with a beautiful message at the end that will take your breath away.
Good movie! Felt really good after watching..Be positive is the message..
