That was a freakin' blast! The story is complex, interesting, it fills some gaps in the MCU and simultaneously is a great origin story for the character of Shang-Chi.
The whole cast is amazing, I mean there is so much chemistry between them. Simu Liu and Tony Leung are phenomenal in their respective roles. The Mandarin tho...so well created character.
The movie is amazing bridge between East and West culture. There is so much to explore, much like Wakanda. The history of Shang's culture is so rich.
The fight choreography is absolute kick in the gutts...in a good way. I mean this is something completely new for the MCU and they deliver it again! Everything looks so goddamn good and I can't help myself thinking about some scenes! Also, the colors, the effects, the camera work and etc. Everything is magnificent.
There is humor for sure, but there is also emotional impact. This is not some bland action packed movie, it's made with heart from fans for the fans. Kudos to the director Destin Cretton!
Killer soundtrack and the main song for the movie "Run It" fits so good with all.
There are a few surprises, that were hidden from the promos and trailers and man...just wait to see them.
About the credit scenes...they are two, both are good, but one of them is...SICK!
For sure deserves more than one viewing in the cinema, so much story building, details, action, fun. The people who underestimated this movie will be so surprised how great is it.
The Suicide Squad is an upgrade in every conceivable way when compared to the 2016 movie. Its also a really fun, gory, colorful and a fresh take on the DC universe when compared to the dull, dark and overly edgy garbage of Movies like Batman vs Superman. As well as that, its nice to see a cast of characters that would likely never see the light of day in any other DC movie, Polka Dot man being a prime example. The casting itself was also really well done with Daniela Melchior being the standout to me.
Overall I loved this movie, it was such a breath of fresh air in, at times, today's over saturated superhero movie genre and I would highly recommend that people go see this film in cinemas for a truly unforgettable experience.
I don't quite understand the hate the movie is getting. Too many people expected full comic book accuracy with Taskmaster, which would have been hard to accomplish and harder to fit in the story they were trying to tell. I understand the disappointment from fans who expected that full Taskmaster story, but do not think it means that this movie was a flop. Florence Pugh was excellent in the film and the chemistry between her and Scarlett Johansson was great. Good fighting sequences except for parts of the third act where the CGI was very noticeable. Plus that end credit scene was amazing. One of my only complaints is that Marvel stated you wouldn't need to watch the shows to understand the movies but if you hadn't seen falcon and the winter solider the end credits may not make a 100 percent sense. At least make it clear the shows are a must watch if you are going to make them necessary to understand certain things. Overall a great movie.
Is it better than the 2017's one? Kinda...
Yeah, there is much more storytelling, but the main idea and the final outcome is the exact same. I mean you can polish old car howmany times you want, but is still the same old car, right? Same here with the whole "Snyderverse". DC are already ahead of his vision and this movie does nothing except to please the Snyder crowd.
Snyder is very good with the visuals and this is a known fact. The problem is, that you can't make motion pictures for 4 straight hours and telling people, that this is great idea. Maybe, if you're 14 and still loving the 2010's CGI, slow motion all the way and action over the actual story.
The effects are questionable, yeah they're better than 2017's, but this ain't some big achievement in my book. The villains looks like plain CGI puppets, there is nothing that resonate with me and no, I'll not compare Darkseid with someone from his rank, but you can do the math.
There're some plot holes, that ruin the whole DCEU continuity once again and this is just because Snyder thinks only about his 3 movies, not the grand scale of this universe. Some characters look complete different just because...he like them this way?
I still can't believe somehow you think adding characters like The Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Darkseid and more for first time it's good for the bigger picture. There is no actual gradation, there is no empathy.
Still, there are some great shots, particularly with Batman and Superman. I said earlier that Snyder is a "painter", that's why my review is named "Style Over Substance". The nightmare sequence was the most interesting thing for me in this movie, added to the story we already know it feels like a whole other movie which is not a complete lie if you think about it. Snyder's plan was to make sequel where he explores this story and Darkseid eventually becomes the big baddie.
The music score is better (I appreciate great epic tracks). In some places it's overdramatic, but overall it's fine.
I'm glad that finally his vision is out, no matter that I think he changed a lot of things, knowing there will be no JL 2 soon. I just really hope this whole drama to end now.
Is it a good movie? Yeah, if you compare it to the bad cosplay show from 2017, but knowing that the story is basically the same, with more pompous scenes and still some bad CGI effects, I would say no.
Great visuals if you press the pause button constantly, not a great movie.
The film is nowhere near the first one and it's predictable, which is tiring. If you're a comicbook fan, you've watched the second trailer and you have thought a little bit, you could find out for yourself, how the events will unfold in the exact same way and at the end you'll be right. There was not a single moment that surprised me.
There are some good action scenes, but most of them looks cheesy. The CGI is just bad. The colors are used on spot, but the thing that seemed out of fashion a long time ago and that was in the first movie too, is the excessive use of slow motion. Several times done it's fine, but to be used in almost every action scene...
Although things were predictable, I liked the performance of Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord and I would say that his arc was the best part of the movie, no matter how corny it was. The gradation toward Kristen Wiig's Cheetah was okay, but the final battle, if I can say that was a battle was lame. They could improve her as a character. Actually, she was there, just because, Diana must fought with someone and If you wonder why the fight between Diana and Cheetah takes place at night...well, because the CGI is bad.
There're too many cliches and nonsenses all over the place. Chris Pine is like transparent character. I mean he's there and he's important for Diana, bringing some heart to the movie, but we already knew that. Overall his character was written way better in the first one. Here he's kind of a emotional reminder for Diana plus "the funny guy" in the movie. Basically, this time, Steve is the "fish out of water", which parallels the first movie, where Diana was.
"WW84" feels too long and it really is. They drag some plot points way too much and you can feel that boring.
I'll not gonna spoil anything, enjoy the movie when you have the opportunity. I'll probably watch it again after time, but I think that my overall opinion will not change much. For me, the first one is way better as a whole, compared to this one.
This movie is a slow burn that gives you enough time to get to know the new mutants but it's not very atmospheric. It doesn't put you in the mood, despite the horror vibe of the piece. I never felt anxious, or worried for any of the characters.
Even if the tone is a bit of a miss for me, it is a smartly constructed story. I felt I got the characters. I understood their fears, their traumas, and why they were the way we found them on an intellectual level but I hardly felt for them. I can't say that the actors didn't pull their weight, even though they are no oscar worthy performances, but giving that the atmosphere wasn't really there nothing elevated the work they put in.
The action scenes and visual effects were great for what they were going for, but in comparison to the sets looked like an expensive new car in a junk yard. The facility they were in is so rundown and cheap looking that I couldn't believe that it had voice activated locks. It would have been easier to believe that the doors opened and closed because of a Mutant's power.
The New Mutants felt like a great idea that wasn't totally followed through. There is a gun-shy feeling to it. They didn't go all the way or didn't strike the right tone. The first half of Josh Trank's Fant4stic Four felt more ominous than this entire movie. Unless they going for an intellectual horror superhero movie - if that's a thing - it worked! Because I understood what I was suppose to feel but never experienced any of the emotions.
The movie is not that bad, but to be honest...it's a movie about Harley, everyone else, pale in front of her.
I knew, that there will be feminism, but the whole movie is about feminism, which IMO is too much.
I would categorize the movie as DC's version of "Deadpool", but it won't be quite accurate. It must be seen to be understand.
There are some pretty creative approaches, some not so much. The story is not very impressive, but I think it's expected, nothing really special.
Black Mask got exactly one comic book scene...kinda. Everything else about him was just...strange.
The action is probably the best part of the movie.
The music somehow fits into the overall atmosphere, there're 2-3 strikes.
Considering that I was expecting to be a total waste of time, I can say it was boring, but not disappointing as "Suicide Squad". I would say, that it's forgettable Harley Quinn movie at best.
You will go through all sorts of emotions if "Star Wars" is in your blood.
There're answers for the question that "The Force Awakenes" and "The Last Jedi" put on the table.
The action...is the best of this Star Wars trilogy, and it can be said that the film has scenes that will be remembered and followed by a time.
The story is too much for 2 hours and a half. There were all kinds of theories, but I will not give out anything, you'll judge for yourself. The story of this movie, can be told in 3 movies and I think it will make a better sequel trilogy, than the one we received.
The music as always is the soul of "Star Wars"!
Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley are giving out everything until the end! There are surprises for sure, good ones and not so good...
I need to watch it again...
In the end, like it or not, as every "Star Wars" movie, there are still plenty of good things to remember. "Star Wars" is a movie for the generations!
This is not your typical comicbook movie! This is a MUST SEE pure art!
The Joker is such a complicated character and every actor in the years portrait im differently which always will be great.
Joaquin Phoenix is beast in this role! I'll not compare his portrait of the character till I see the movie second time, but man...such a great performance!
The whole dark Gotham vibe is so good, you can dive in it. There is pure acting and pure violence. Some people will like it, some not.
This is not Jared Leto surrounded by 1,000 knives without reason...this is the real world.
The movie perfectly show our society nowadays and maybe this is one of the reason why is so good.
De Niro performance it's great as you can expect, same goes to all other supporting actors.
The music kills at some points, because it's so intense with the particular scenes.
So ground based and so good. This is probably the best movie this year after "Endgame", honestly...you can't compare them, they're both unique in their ways.
I recommend this movie so much, but is not for everyone for sure. It'll make you think about so much things in the end because as I said....
We are all clowns...of our time!
Spider-Man: Far from Home holds the unfortunate title of being the only film I've ever fallen asleep to while watching in the cinema. Having now rewatched Marvel's latest blockbuster I can firmly say that episode of snoring in Cineworld was induced by a lack of sleep the night before, and not the content on display.
Tom Holland gives his best performance as Spider-Man yet. In other reboots it is often easy to forget (or even hard to believe) that Peter Parker is only a school aged kid, but Holland plays the role so convincingly. The viewer feels a lot of sympathy for Peter throughout Far from Home as he struggles with the burden of being expected to fill Iron Man's shoes, all the while proving to be more relatable than ever as he endeavours to enjoy his school trip and win over the girl he likes. Speaking of which, Zendaya's inclusion in Homecoming finally makes sense now - I should've known the writers would have more use for her character in later instalments.
Jake Gyllenhaal also plays his role applaudably well, his character as unlikable as ever. Despite Peter's frequent references to pop culture throughout the series he clearly hasn't seen Nightcrawler, or else his tingle might've warned him against trusting the cunning Mysterio.
I love how these Spider-Man films examine the effects of the Avengers on the microcosmic environment of Peter's high school, where they study Thor in physics. This dynamic was especially effective in highlighting the complications of the blip and how humanity has dealt with the outcome of Endgame. Therefore Spider-Man: Far from Home serves as an effective epilogue to Phase 3 of the MCU, and I am grateful that Disney and Sony have worked out their differences to ensure we get to see what becomes of Spider-Man after that jaw dropping post credits cliffhanger. Whenever the next instalment may hit cinemas, I'm certain that this time round I'll manage to stay awake.
