Racist and not funny. His previous shows are great but this is just too much racism
This is THE DEFINITIVE Superman movie. With truly spectacular cinematography, a heartwarming coming of age story, enthralling action and perhaps the best superhero movie soundtrack ever from Hans Zimmer, this movie hits every beat for Superman fans new and old.
As a DC comics fan growing up, the critical response to this movie prevented me going to watch it at the theatre. I mean who wants one of their favourite superheroes being "humourless", "too violent", and "not epic enough"??? Well, I can truly sit here now having said "lesson learned". Never again will I allow critical response to prevent me from experiencing something I had waited a lifetime for. I will never get to see Man of Steel in the theatre, and this movie was shot for the big screen. Some of the shots are truly beautiful, especially when he wakes up in the ocean with whales, and when he learns to fly in the snowy mountains.
The story is often criticised for not having the kookiness of the original four movies with Christopher Reeve - and don't misunderstand this for hating on the first few iterations, I have nothing but fond memories of growing up with those films - but I challenge anyone to watch those movies now and claim that they still hold up. A truly great movie as well as standing the test of time, has rewatch value, and Man of Steel is one of the few superhero movies that I have watched time and time again. This requires a great story.
The story of this movie focuses on a boys relationship with his fathers, and his coming of age through those guises. His cautious and protective Earth father who tought him the morality and goodness we expect from our Superman, who sacrificed himself in order to keep his sons secret; and his Kryptonian father who encouraged him to embrace his difference and be the man Earth needs him to be.
A bonus is that the relationship between Lois and Clark doesn't seem forced. You get to see how she is a great investigative reporter and through her reporting she discovers Superman's true identity. By protecting it, you can see Clark's appreciation and the weight of not being able to talk about it to anyone - something that bothers him throughout the great flashback scenes as wonderfully portrayed by Dylan Sprayberry and Cooper Timberline - being lifted.
The character development of the antagonist, General Zod is done in a way other superhero movies can only be envious of. The message that this character, like all other Kryptonians are born with a specific purpose, in this case to protect Krypton at all costs, comes across well. From his perspective he is the superhero of his own story, trying to save his planet and his people, and that is the truest of tests for supervillain development.
And this brings me to the epic and controversial (for some reason) third act. As mentioned earlier, Superman has a strong moral code instilled in him by Jonathan Kent, which is shown throughout the flashbacks. Any observer who doesn't see that Snyders portrayal of Superman has the most morality of any Superman in cinematic history is simply not paying attention. He doesn't spin the Earth backwards to rewind time just to save his girlfriend like in the original, and he doesnt go back to Smallville and hook up with Lana because the love of his life Lois is ignoring him a little bit like in Superman III. That Superman, despite all of his displayed morality (e.g. where he refrains from fighting the bullies) feels he must kill General Zod is one of the most powerful moments in superhero movie history. He repeatedly begs Zod to give up his quest to destroy Earth and humans now that his quest to return Krypton has failed. Zod makes it clear as day that he will NEVER give up, and that he will destroy humanity at all costs as an act of revenge. What was Clark supposed to do? He was left with no choice! Add to this the fact that Zod's laser beams were inches away from killing a whole family, Superman reluctantly had to break his neck. Yet unlike other superheroes he did not gloat in victory, the pain and anguish in that scream that follows is filled with the heartbreak of breaking both his moral code and killing one of the few other fellow Kryptonians in the universe.
Overall, this movie gets better every single time I watch it. If you haven't watched it since it came out and had mixed feelings the first time, please give this movie another try without the immediate negative reviews that were extensively covered in the media at the time of release. It truly deserves it. Man of Steel is THE DEFINITIVE Superman movie.
My Little Pony: The Movie is a dream come true for fans of the television series and the brand of My Little Pony in general. As for a movie-goer, this film takes a good budget, Toon Boom, and mashes it all together to make a film that blends the positive message of friendship and the feeling of epic cinema. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity are all fleshed out in their character. They are given moments to shine, and when it's their time, they really shine. Tempest is a wonderful antagonist for the film, though I cannot say the same for the Storm King. I'm also not a huge fan of a couple choices in the soundtrack, but the songs are worthwhile all their own. In short, My Little Pony: The Movie is a worthwhile watch, and even if you are not a huge fan of the series, this is a good movie to get you started. Saddle up, everypony! This film is great.
I know far too many of their names fml
Disgusting amounts of racism. The entire movie portrays white people as killers, Nazis, and politicians. And black people as 'the saviour's of the community' and a gross romanticsised view of gangs. Pay attention, you won't see one white person portrayed as helping the community, and you won't see one black person working with the government.
I also was disappointed at the amount of gorr or scare. I have seen a lot of shit, and this movie's darkest moments were absolutely basic and boring. An entire island can do anything they want, they wouldn't be nice. Society is far more degraded than this movie portrays, which disappointed me. I was expecting to see some realism, but experienced none of it.
The terminator is a shameless copy of of Alex Mercer in the Prototype pc game. Also is filmed and use the same face all the time.
A really bad movie.
Terminators: Recycled was the same program run the same way after a soft reboot. Still, it was fun to see Linda Hamilton again and Mackenzie Davis is so good that I hope there's a sequel just to see her continue to be the action hero I never knew I needed.
This documentary is truly an eye-opener, a red-pill revealing another face of the world in front of us. It beautifully demonstrate the Orwellian nature of our time, how can the world be manipulated and make to believe a historical narrative created with a sole purpose: destroying the self-esteem of Western peoples, and pave the way for the rule of the financial plutocrats that we know today.
If this documentary was shown to the whole population, our world would be a better place, and the decline of our civilization could be reversed. I hope to see this day.

I had wanted to watch this for years!! Finally was able to find it and I was pleasantly surprised. Very cute film, it's a shame it's banned but I do understand the reasoning behind it. Splash Mountain makes a lot more sense now.
I really enjoyed watching this great film and thought it told the story about helping Johnny deal with his problems in a beautiful way.
It is most certainly not racist and I am of the opinion that anyone who says it is racist is watching the film trying to create racism because they heard it is supposed to have it. If you don't watch it expecting some sort of racial issue, you won't find one, because there isn't actually one unless you create one.
I am deeply saddened that one of my favorite rides at the Magic Kingdom park is being changed due to political pressure and I'm glad that I'll have the childhood memories of going on the ride countless times and whistling along to Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.
To many errors in every Tarantino movie
Okay so walking into the theater I wasn't exactly expecting much however wow I was blown away complete must see
This was fun! I'm sure I watched this when I was younger but I didn't really remember it. Not too bad for a straight to video sequel.
I agree about the last part. The rest wasn't that scary.
Very scary and sometimes shocking horror flick based on the eponymous PC game: a girl, burned nearly to death because the village elders think she's the devil's spawn, takes revenge on the whole town of "Silent Hill". The ending (the return of Rose and Sharon after the destruction of the Church in Silent Hill by Sharon's "Twin") is somehow strange: are they both dead and live in a parallel world or why can't Christopher see them?
Enjoyable adaptation. Had horror, suspense, and a fair bit of drama too - guy below must've been watching a different movie...
Let me start by saying I have been a Godzilla fan ever since I saw Godzilla vs Mothra back in the 80s. With that out of the way I really liked this movie. It is in no way like the 98' movie (which was terrible) but instead kinda takes the Clover field route by showing how the fighting of the monsters really impact human. In this movie it's very clear that human need to get the hell out of the way! While there is not an overly amount of scenes showing all out fighting with the monsters you still get a feel for the current situation with Godzilla. This also attempts to ground Godzilla the creature in reality but doesn't 100% succeed. Some of the explanations for why things are happening are not always believable. Still, I enjoyed seeing Godzilla take on these "enemies" and eventually kill them. One interesting twist, which I had never seen in a Godzilla movie was he used his radioactive breath. In the movie he uses it almost as a last resort, seemingly because it takes a lot of energy from him. While this is inconsistent with any Godzilla movie before it I rather liked the idea. It would probably take a great amount of energy to create that blast of power. This is best seen when Godzilla brutally kills the last creature with a prolonged blast of energy that knocked him out till the next day. So if you cam looking for a movie that showed nothing but Godzilla fighting all the way through or a "Man v Monster" movie...this may not be the movie for you. However, give it a shot...you may like it after all.
The monster battles are awesome. There are a ton more than the last one and I loved every second. It makes up for all the family drama they make us watch to get to those fights. Hopefully the next one will be Godzilla and Kong fighting for 90 minutes with little to no humans.
Love the recap at the end. :D
Typical kids movie with some fun callbacks to the original show. The plot is kinda crazy.
Not as retro kitsch chic as the original cartoon, not as tight as modern CGI features and not as self-aware as the the live action films, this is the kind of movie you fall asleep watching and still don't miss anything. :dog::sleeping::confused:
PS Why do they have Scooby speaking better than most of my students, yet he still can't pronounce the first letter of words? WTF!? :person_facepalming_tone2:
A good movie ruined by lame pop culture references and political agendas.
It does the Blair Witch world justice. But adds nothing fresh. Pretty much is the same result as the first film.
When teen movies were funny, not just stupid :) !
I’ve read the bad reviews but I liked this film. There was a lot going on but I found it fun.... sue me!
Great movie, like many of Elia Kazan, sometimes distressing to see. James Dean transmits his anguish
