Hey Zach, not every action scene needs slow motion. For fucks sake
Not allowed to do a review yet but I'll say this:
This is how you do a superhero movie.
This is how you do a war movie.
And the best comment of the night: "It was amazing, it made me believe I could become Wonder Woman." -6yo girl
uh.. first of all let's stop comparing this to greys
the movie itself was decent, i believe the plot could've had so much more potential BUT, THAT END SCENE? really? she died for literally no reason. they could have prevented it.
Wowsers - this guy was a dick! It's not the festival goers I necessarily feel sorry for - they had money to burn by all accounts - but its the people who worked on this event, especially the Bahamians, who didn't get paid, that were hit the worst. Billy McFarland needs to take stock of his life and BACK OFF from doing anything like this again.
A great doc, certainly eye opening, and a valuable lesson for those people in Billy's shoes right now.
DC has finally did it! Not only is Aquaman much better than any of the Marvel movies, it's an awesome movie on its own. The pace is good, music is good, humor is good, and visual is awesome! Wan did a great job displaying the beauty of the deep ocean.
That was cuuuuute and totally lived up to the book! Also aaaah that author cameo <3
9/10
I was totally engulfed in this film. Everything about it was well done. There was incredible character development, well-executed plot, and honestly an enjoyable world. There were multiple 'Inception' moments and SO many references to pop culture and the gaming world.
I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary on today's culture, and where we are going, taken to the extreme. It was neat to see the players who met online, meet in person and continue being friends, despite everyone being different in person. I really enjoyed that message as a gamer myself. Also funny to see commentary on corporate culture trying to take over any power available anywhere (in this case, a hobbyist gaming community.) Various good messages and insights on what the world has become/is becoming.
SUPER ENJOYABLE.
If there was a bit more character development, Rogue One would be one of the greatest films of the year. Either way, it was easily one of the best Star Wars films, and it got that way through likable characters, spectacular cinematograpy and a great final act.
Oh, and the Vader scene.
PLEASE, GIMME MORE TWO MOVIES!!!!! It reminds me of the best of what spoke to me in the best of John Hughes's movies, i'm literally screaming... i'm in love!
What a fun movie! As someone who was born in the 80s, i can appreciate all the pop culture references in the movie. Great cast, with lots of laughs. I'll be watching this one again!
Wow. Really liked this movie. The look of it is very dark and kind of dirty but on the other side it's a lot of fun and I thought the stoey was pretty interesting and exciting. Can't wait to watch it at home in 4K.
To call this another Marvel winner would be an understatement.
Volume 2 is the best cinematic experience I've had in a long time. The action is great, the various cameos hilarious, the effects awe-inspiring and the laughs frequent and well-placed (one of the few gripes I had with Doctor Strange). And in the midst of all this, what really drives the story and keeps the audience interested is the character development. The heroes with which we fell in love in Volume 1 become deeper and multilayered, and the new additions add fantastic new dynamics.
While still falling victim to some minor storytelling tropes, GotG2 is the epitome of the spectacle movie.
I can't understand why there's such a low rating from critics and stuff. What were they expecting??
The scenery, wardrobe, makeup, everything is so beautiful and colorful. I felt like I was watching a play, a musical, everything was amazing. Emma Watson was a great choice for Belle, Gaston was perfect, the Beast was lovely as expected (Dan Stevens is a great actor - I might think Gaston was a little bit better though) and you're there for Lumiére. He stole the show for me. Ewan McGregor proves again he's the best, most versatile actor ever.
It is exactly the same as the animation, just some changes. It was a great movie overall, I cried like a baby the whole time (favorite 'Disney Princess' tale right here).
I can't understand why people wouldn't like it.
This film was very cute and heartwarming. A really feel-good movie, with great songs, some of them very current. A definite watch for children and children-at-heart.
Against all the critics I read, I just loved the movie. Visually stunning and brlliant performances by Pratt and Lawrence. Definitly worths watch this one on cinema.
I walked in excited and walked out a smile that I couldn't wipe off my face!
Rogue One was a story almost developed to perfection, at every point your on the edge of your seat and can't help but feel invested in the story. And the Vader scene was epic in of itself, just made me tingle.
The amazing cinematography, fantastic scenes, and a final act that made this an Epic movie, and a must watch for every person, Star Wars fans and others shouldn't miss it.
On par with Empire Strikes back and probably one of the best movies of 2016.
We want more!
I've seen some super mixed reviews on this and that kinda bums me out. I loved this movie and I've been thinking about it all day. Leah Lewis does a great job playing Ellie and I really liked her character. I do feel like this shouldn't really be labeled as romance, it's much more about friendship and acceptance.
Properly funny if you ask me. The characters are interesting and somewhat relatable. It's not a masterpiece but worth the watch.
It's like The Big Short but... boring. The reason being, as the previous commenter has pointed out, that the movie failed to give the viewer any reason to care about what is happening, the script and the direction failed in giving the story a personal dimension, so it feels like you're being lectured for an hour and a half.
Funny, touching, incredible talent, with a really beautiful and important message. Loved every minute of it. The dynamic between the characters are gold.
In tribute to this lovely film, I've chosen to write my review in song form:
I'm a writer
Who's a critic
A keyboard fighter whose
Life's a picnic
I'm a movie buff
Won't condescend
Sometimes I'm tough but i
Will recommend
I'm half Anglo
Half American
But for an hour or so
I was a kid again
Mary's poppin'
I'll see it again

This is one of the strangest movies I've seen in a while. On one hand it is very clearly a Hollywood movie, filled with Hollywood people. But on the other the whole thing plays more like a soap opera. Like a whole season of a soap opera that was edited down to a movie runtime.
I think every scene has a shocking revelation, or big twist, or dramatic confession. Every time you think you know what is going to happen with the rest of the movie, that whole thing either plays out in 5 minutes or the opposite happens.
Are you a sufferer of TSB (Twist Seeking Behaviour)? Then this is the movie for you.
Moving period piece romance about coming to terms with the past and moving on into a brighter future. Lily James is superb.
Perfect film. About real and unbending friendship.
I loved the movie! It was really fun to watch from beginning to the end. The cast was perfect and the whole story is just so amazing and funny! The fact that it's after a true story is just so adorable and amazing! The ending really hit me in the heart, but I loved it and the ending scenes where we even got to see a few clips from the real-life event. Great work I really have nothing bad to say, I don't even mind that it finished with a kind of a cliff-hanger even though I HATE those.
I'm surprised by how well this works. The cast is the best part. Everyone just plays so well off each other.
There is a good film in here somewhere, yet the disjointed structure undermines the powerful message at the core. A mess then, but a worthy one.
i was very much in the mood to fistfight people after this
That guy who said "age becomes you" to Colin Firth. I appreciate him.
