It looks amazing (Coppola playing his greatest hits), talented cast, the music is good but yeah, the story isn't there.
This episode is about a hot button topic: transphobia in parents. I wouldn't be surprised if they cast the child accordingly.
Loved, loved, loved this film! The only thing I knew about it is that it was a big flop and that it's a musical. I thought characters would break into singing and dancing. Pleasantly surprised it's not that kind of musical.
Although I thought the happy ending was unearned. He was an asshole who didn't fully redeemed himself.
I can see the influence on La La Land.
Godzilla fans hype up this one way too much ("Last great Godzilla movie", "best Godzilla movie since Godzilla Shin").
It's more of a disaster procedural than a monster movie.
It looks like soap opera.
The monster has the animation of a kid playing with a toy.
The editing and directing is schizophrenic (either make it handheld camera style ala Cloverfield or shoot it traditionally).
And the amount of screen text is ridiculous.
Roberto Begnini is a divisive actor. Some people adore him, others find him too much . The italian Robin Williams. I'm in the latter group. That's why the first half was a bit of a chore to get through. But I loved the second part. The contrast of the seriousness of the situation with the sweetness of the father and son scenes was perfect.
When the mother's accident happens, you think the third act is about to kick but then you see there's an hour left and the whole investigation segment drags the pace down. Could have been a good 90 minutes long movie.
People criticizing the historical aspect are not taking in consideration when it was made. It's an old fashioned Hollywood movie, ffs. At least it showed more sides than Saving Private Ryan.
I love everything about this movie but the ending. It's too goddamn sentimental ("Tell me I'm a good man"). And the flag can be too much for anyone from outside the USA. But it's Spielberg after all.
The ending where everyone got what they wanted felt like a cop-out.
I wasn't that invested in the characters' lives.
The Cure on the soundtrack? That's a straight 10, right there.
That ending at the hospital was some soap opera BS! You would not get away with that twist in a western movie. That and some of the acting.
A kamikaze sacrifice would have been better but I can get down with the "choose life" lesson, too.
The movie didn't reinvent the wheel as I was led to believe by the hype but it was a good two hours, all in all.
This is one of those movies that you'll enjoy more if you are a fan of Old Hollywood, not just the pictures but the story behind them. Like Fincher's Mank.
I thought it was a collection of some good scenes that didn't add up as a whole.
I saw the complaints about the focus being too much on the photographer before watching the movie. Plus I never watch trailers so I guess that's why I'm not disappointed. If the the actual civil war were on the foreground, it could have been another generic action movie, like those London Has Fallen movies.
The only thing I disliked was that stupid, cliché sacrifice. I can't believe a writer as talented as Garland wrote that.
A movie about a stunt guy is a good idea, and it starts off interesting but it gets really stupid once the plot with the missing lead actor kicks in. It reminded me of the Nicholas Cage's Dracula movie from last year in that way.
I thought it was heading to a predictable path (they fight in the season finale, they make up the next season...) . I did not expect that chess move. Looking forward s04 shaking things up.
Ok, this is as far as I make it.
Yes, this has more plot and dialogue than the previous one but people are acting like it's Game of Thrones. I thought the story served the action well. I liked the introduction of different factions.
The action scenes were good but not as mind-blowing as Fury Road's. They didn't feel as practically made.
This miniseries was very frustrating for me. There's talent in front and behind the camera and a story of Vietnam from a Vietnamese point of view is refreshing but it was all over the place.
I thought it was going to be a movie about Hollywood ala Altman's The Player. The murder and everything that happened after threw me off. Might need to rewatch it to 'get it'.
There really is no justice when a rich and famous person is the accused.
We're seeing it again with Trump. And he still has fans!
One of the funniest thing South Park has done. Loved the opening parody of Dawn of the Dead.
I missed the beautiful color palette of the original the whole time.
I did NOT expect such an emotional ending after the silly comedic tone of the movie. I imagine it must hit double harder on couples that can't have children.
Finally! I could not take another season of will-they-or-won't-they. Although now I wonder what will happen without that tension.
I thought how odd it was to watch A Christmas episode in May but then I remembered the Actors strike delayed everything.
Good episode.
I cringed when someone said "multiverse". That word is so played out now.
Also, Apple shows really look expensive af.
What a strange, strange picture. Some really great ideas in it, though. Demands a rewatch.
Hudson was amazing, specially the disturbing last scene. I only knew him from his light comedies.
First time I watched this as a teenager I didn't get what all the fuss was about. Now that I'm more versed in 70s exploitation cinema, I appreciate it the more times I watch it.
People judge it with modern eyes by comparing it to Fury Road and that's just absurd.
Is it just me or is the plot hard to follow? Maybe I haven't paid enough attention...
Just when you think there was nothing more to say after the verdict...
