This movie is a pleasantly surprising family drama with a dark artistic twist. I really enjoyed how it culminated and genuinely felt rewarded for sticking with the movie until the end. Good tone throughout. Good direction.. It's worth a watch if you like atmospheric horror that leans on a more artistic edge.

Simply incredible. From the single-shot approach, to the performances and commitment of the actors, to the score, to the realism and intense "ticking clock" device in use - this movie has it all. A heart-pounding and tense experience and BEAUTIFULLY shot. The awards were well deserved.

Intriguing idea, good performances, good tone. but it feels like an incomplete and slightly aimless exploration of this concept (perhaps that was the point?). it felt unnecessarily stretched out and like it missed the mark with a few choices and the "ending". it becomes extremely hopeless and depressing though, so be aware of that. i don't feel like i wasted my time watching it however, but it feels unsatisfying and ultimately somewhat forgettable. it's certainly worth a watch during quarantine though as it kept me hooked for the most part and was able to genuinely evoke some emotions. any fans of these actors or "weird cinema" in general should check this out.

Purely on a 1-10 scale of fun, characters/performance, commitment, humor, action and visuals I absolutely loved this movie. I had a great time with this and I hope this becomes a franchise, or at least has a sequel (which seemed to be hinted at). The cast is great here and the soundtrack and "pace" are awesome. As a mindless movie experience this is the most fun I've had all year and i'm a sucker for the "wacky" direction and edgy tone of this which helps. I'm also a gamer and tech enthusiast which massively increased my enjoyment of this. It was a great distraction during the miserable time that we're all currently living through. don't go in expecting anything more than fun violence and you should be fine.

Felt like this could have been more than it was. Hemsworth is a good leading man and believable in the role (obviously). The action and violence here is very good. But again, it feels like a throwaway movie to me. It could have been more fun with better characters, a more punched up script, and a lighter "blockbuster" feel. Also, David Harbor is wasted imo. A bad creative decision there. This is a good quarantine time killer with some fun/intense action - but don't expect anything more than that.

Really disappointed in this. It had everything it needed to be at least good. I don't quite know how you waste a cast like this, or a character like Capone. Tom Hardy makes some extremely questionable choices with his characters, and the numerous disgusting and awkward scenes in this movie didn't help matters. The dialogue is bland and cliche throughout. The "characters" are flat. The pacing is weird. Scenes feel tacked together. And nothing remotely interesting is explored. Its a mess. It feels like this project was handled by the wrong people and in better hands it could have been something quite special. It's a huge waste of time, and it was an extremely awkward train-wreck to witness. A rotten film.

A rather enjoyable action spectacular. There are some very well done visuals and great ideas here - but the substance of the protagonist and villains is completely lacking. It's a very very thin, underdeveloped, and interesting script in terms of compelling characters or engaging dialogue. It feels extremely generic on that front. Otherwise, I had some genuine fun watching the action unfold and the "evolution" of Bloodshots powers. I really do hope that any sequels to this have a better script because they nailed the action and visual style and motif..

I had a really good time with this. The suspense elements and atmosphere are extremely well done. Elisabeth moss is fantastic as usual. She carried this throughout and made me care about her character. She's outstanding at selling fear, confusion, and sadness. I found the direction and editing in this to be incredibly immersive, and quite creative. There's some thrilling action scenes, and some rather starling violence and shocks. All in all, it's an excellent movie, and it really put a fresh spin on a classic.But beware of the extreme violence here if you're sensitive to that sort of thing :)

I really enjoyed this movie. The animation and voice acting are brilliant. It's well written and moves at a good pace. There's some very creative choices made in this and there's some thrilling choreography and set pieces. It's a slick and surprising movie that was clearly made by people that know (and care) about what they were working on. I genuinely had a lot of fun watching this, even as as adult. Tom Holland and Will Smith did a great job. Highly recommended.

Decided to be very VERY generous because of Margots performance and a few fun and creative set pieces and the colorful and enthusiastic look/editing and r-rating. An effort was clearly made to get this movie to a place where the audience would at least have some fun and visual enjoyment. It's by no means a particularly good piece of film, but it's (barely) tolerable if you completely shut your brain off and like the schizophrenic and ridiculous things that you're witnessing without wanting more from the story or characters. It really does take a love of the performers/characters/aesthetic/directorial style to enjoy this. The dramatic egg sandwich narrative arc was a cute and very well done piece of this movie, perhaps even one of the best parts, which basically tells you everything that you need to know about the overall quality of BOP. It feels like a huge waste of the cast though. It could have actually been a pretty big hit with better creative decisions. Definitely don't go into this movie with high expectations. It's not that kind of movie. The soundtrack bangs though.

Phenomenal movie. It surpassed my expectations. The fights are amazingly well choreographed and directed. There's an incredibly visceral and intense feel to every confrontation. The music also wonderfully compliments each set-piece. There's some real emotion here too, and the fights all have a lot of meaning behind them (which made the movie far more compelling). It will definitely affect you emotionally. It also explores issues like racism, bullying, and family values. There's actual substance here that surprised me. This movie is a genuinely beautiful (and BADASS) culmination of this franchise. And Scott Adkins' performance is spectacular.

Loved it. It's fun, it's irreverent, it's chaotic, and it's genuinely funny. It moves at a good pace and It's littered with sweet moments. The chemistry of the cast (old and new) is highly entertaining. There's an "ease" with these performances at this point that make these characters so likable. There's tons of violence and zombies (as you would expect), and there are surprises and a bunch of fun moments. it's a good time and a worthy sequel.

Episode IX felt like a rushed chaotic patchwork of sorts. A course-correction made out of a desperate attempt to appease the critics and save the franchise. Unfortunately, I don't think it worked. The entire trilogy is a mess at this point, and it's been massively mishandled. There are (of course) many aesthetically pleasing things to enjoy about this movie, and the performances are fun and quite entertaining. And as always, the score is tremendous. But as a satisfying conclusion to the saga this falls very short. It never had a chance to truly reach it's potential after the crippling effect of TLJ and Rian Johnson's shenanigans. I don't envy the overwhelming task that JJ had on his hands. Star Wars is a machine like no other. But there was simply too much to resolve in a way that felt natural. It's a very commendable attempt, but TROS was always doomed with the disjointed and shambolic creative team behind this franchise. At best, it's a visually pleasing fun watch with a good score. And Palpatine rocks.

This movie got to me. It's a stunningly beautiful portrayal of married life. The performances here are incredibly strong. The entire cast, in fact, knocked it out of the park. Dern and Liotta were excellent. There's also some great deadpan humor in this. It's "shot" with great care and precision throughout, and there's a ton of light in the spaces and a wonderful naturalistic feel to the scenes. I loved this movie, dearly. It's one f the best of the year.

Watch it however you can. It will make you fall in love with Adam Driver.

A fascinating dive into classicism and greed. The cast here is stacked with fantastic actors. The dialogue is intriguing and fun. The pace is fast and snappy. The narrative, the intrigue, and the twists keep you on your toes for the entire run-time. The editing and direction is slick and compelling. This movie has it all.

Highly recommended.

An absurd and silly movie that revels in it's own ridiculousness. Will Ferrell is at his most ludicrous. The cast here is excellent and reasonably well used. There's some genuine moments of heart to this and it has a sweet ending. It will get you in the Christmas spirit if you're not a Grinch!

The performances here are powerful. The themes are relevant and handled responsibly. There's even some humor to balance things out. The cinematography is beautiful. The direction is wonderful and really captures the actors/characters perfectly. It's a stunning movie from both a narrative and acting perspective. And the soundtrack bangs.

Loved it.

Beautiful film. The bond between the two male leads is moving and inspiring. It's wonderful to see a actor with down syndrome be given so much screen-time alongside a Hollywood star. We need more of this type of representation in modern cinema. Dakota Johnson was a nice addition to the cast. Shia is always good with this type of material. The script was strong here, and handled the situation with sensitivity and respect. The movie was also shot beautifully.

The cameos were a nice touch.

Well worth a watch.

I'm a fan of Ben Foster so I gave this movie a chance, but I was utterly bored, and I felt like the it dragged far too much and became incredible boring and bloated with nothingness. overly indulgent in it's own silence. Was not impressed with this whatsoever and it felt like a huge waste of time. It's one of the most boring movies I watched in 2018.
