The monster fights were fun and uninterrupted and extremely well executed. As usual most of the human stuff was horribly written but it felt like a lot of that was self-aware and disposable enough to easily ignore and some of the human plot was actually somewhat relevant to the story. A really fun movie with a ton of great monster-on-monster action and fights that look and sound spectacular
But please FFS can we stop with the Millie Bobby Brown character? Her cohort and her were incredibly annoying and their entire subplot could have been removed completely and it would take away nothing. Or maybe give her a better personality and something more sensible to do than what he got
There's maybe 10 minutes of uninterrupted monster-on-monster action. There's a point in the movie where I audibly groaned when the monster fight was literally obscured by the ass end of a plane filled with boring humans acting out their terrible underwritten plot. The human element only serves to obscure and obfuscate the monster action. At no point are we ever left to just watch two monsters duking it out. I understand the need for the stories of the people involved cause it brings the story of the titans to a more relatable level but you could not have a worse, more cliched, more stupid way to do it. None of the characters were in any way contributing to the movie and the dialog was awful
I watched this only for full context before watching Godzilla vs Kong. On almost every level other than the CGI it sucks
Yeah the last episode was just filler nonsense to build up for this one. I hope this episode actually leads to something coherent cause this was good stuff
This episode feels like a complete mess
Definitely a Coen Brothers thing. A bunch of dark comedy "shorts" with a vague sense of the supernatural all ending unexpectedly and randomly without any firm answers or conclusions. Pretty original and worth a watch if you're already a fan of the Coen brothers
Not so much a horror movie as an incredibly well crafted period movie about puritanical New England settlers and their struggles in the face of adversity. The whole movie is tense and this is stretched tight at all times. Don't expect conventional "horror"
This film was easily an hour longer than it should have been. There's a very clear "plot" that it follows and it's actually really straightforward what happens honestly. It's just mired in so much pretension and wasted time. We didn't need 3 long conversations in the car that all say very little. I'm sure on a repeat watch I'll see more callbacks to future events or allusions to the real plot earlier on but I really don't care enough. It was much more intriguing at the beginning but felt like it lost confidence in its narrative halfway through and just petered out
If you really want to know what's happening, it was all a delusion. A delusion built by a sad, pathetic man, a janitor in a school who imagines himself younger and fetches himself a girl; a girl he might have briefly scene at a pub a long time ago. But even this delusion is marred by his own insecurities caused partly by his parents (whoop-dee-doo). The girl doesn't like him and is "thinking of ending things" but doesn't and can't bring herself to actually do it because that's not what he wants in this delusion. He's ashamed of his parents and imagines numerous scenarios of bringing this girl to meet his parents at various stages in their life but he can't even fix what the girl does or what her name is. That's really all that the movie is about. It takes 2 hours to tell this to you and literally sings and dances this whole thing to you at the end to completely drill it into your head which was supremely unnecessary.
I'm not particularly impressed. Probably one of Kaufman's weaker works
3 episodes in and this show is a disjointed mess. I don't know if I want to go any further
Maybe I'm just too old for this s**t
