"Kinds, and this is a story of how I met your mother" and "This reminds me nothing of Toy Story" comments on the imgur pictures of the Twitter's thread made my day.
Really, really good! Definitely not your typical Bollywood movie. Not that much singing and if it happens, it does not interrupt the story flow. Engaging story, without being too simple or too direct-in-your-face-with-100-flashbacks just so you don't miss any point. And a very likable trio of main characters. I was also quite surprised by the indication of sex that is happening or will be happening - something which is a no-no in Indian cinema.
Cyber Warfare, the fourth dimension of war. Yes, we really should talk about it. Great doc, a real eye opener in a lot of political implications I wasn't aware of.
Now that is one piece of awesome cinema! Sure, tortures are something desired by main characters so they are not portrayed as something bad - which, for one is a shame, but also is how it is in reality. Real CIA operatives used and liked using tortures as a means of getting information. Anyway, I enjoyed it tremendously!
Polish Crash. And even though there were many movies before showing inter-connected paths of many characters over the course of one night, it is Crash that we all now compare such movies to. And so Zero is the same. And as such, it's Excellent. Oh, and the nightclub's bathroom scene is awesome!
Decent, I'll give it that. Also extremely depressing as this is really what our world is succumbing to. There is a relative happy end to this story, that exposing corruption changes something. More and more often it doesn't, which is a great shame.
Decent history drama about the 1911 Chinese revolution. Too bad the revolution didn't change much, although it is more than hinted that if Sun Yat-Sen would not resign, the history would have been written differently.
Barely OK and unfortunately nothing more. Good characters are literal saints, ready to sacrifice their lives just to save some unknown bypasser Bad characters are so evil, that the devil himself looks like saint in comparison. All is black and white, no in-betweens. And all that absurd with "you know what? I'll let you kill me, just to prove my point". So overall it's a very mediocre movie. Even despite wonderful performance by Andy Lau and great role by Jackie Chan (not knowing he's in it, it was a very pleasant and funny surprise to see him).
So stupid it's not even funny. No, wait a minute, actually it was funny just because it was so stupid! Nonetheless it was a great action flick. But absolutely nothing more than that.
Very weak position in the X-Men series. Felt like it was forced to be made. Just for the money. Oh, and some special powers were quite silly if you ask me. Sure it's good entertainment, but leaves a bitter taste in the mouth afterwards.
Ugh... What a waste. This movie insulted my intelligence. It was so utterly stupid... The theory goes that for each movie series/franchise when it runs out of ideas, it has to resort to time travel. And this is what had happened to X-Men. What a waste... what a waste...
OK and not much more. The X-Men universe got really screwed up last time (Days of Future Past) and with each movie the level of absurdity goes only one way, which is up. It's still a decent watch, though.
Excellent! There is something in dramatic stories about people being the best at something. This time it's about a young men who is/was a top classical music pianist. Really loved it.
Contrary to popular opinions, I've found this part to be the best of all. Really great story, even though it seemed to be taken straight out of a X-Files episode. Loved the tragic ending.
Very decent zombie flick. It has its $190 mil flare, so the zombie apocalypse is really spectacular, but what follows is a the usual "our hero saves the world". It keeps you on your toes, though.
Great film. A little bit one sided, without saying much about the problems associated with electric cars (like how to produce the requireed electricity and how much more does the clean energy cost or the problems with wearing of the batteries). EV1 was really pioneer. No doubt about that. Shame they killed it. Good that electric cars are now being taken more seriously.
Ugh. Decent (although a little bit stupid) in the first half, but later on it went straight downhill. Senseless, cringe worthy, pathetic piece of crap. Yeah, that was the second half.
Heh. Now that one one interesting and very uneven piece of cinema. Can't really make much of it apart from the fact that it really surprised me and captivated my attention throughtout.
Good, even very good, although I do have some gripes about it being more than I would like about Christianity slash family nonsense rather than about the sport.
So convoluted, so complicated. Too many characters changing their stance, too many plot turning points. It's still good, some subplots are excellent, the Sci-Fi vision itself is great. Just that the whole thing leaves a lot to be desired.
Uhm. What? First season was mind-blowing. This one is one big WTF. So many weird decisions throughout both by hosts and humans. Such ununderstandable motivations/drives. So weird, so weird. Good, but...
It was a little bit too long and a little bit boring at times, but oh boy was it worth it! The ending is spectacular. I also loved the Michaelangelo's "God created Adam" painting interpretation.
So-so. Nothing really happens and the conversations are not really that revealing/entertaining/engaging. It might also be that I'm not in the target demographic.
Let me first start with the good things. Top-notch music. I was really surprised by how good it was. And one other thing - Paweł Małaszyński. His acting was on a really good level. Everyone else was simply ridiculous. Add to that a very absurd story and you've got yourself another pointless Polish crime/comedy, with poor dialogues, cheap special effects and terrible gags. And that pretty much sums it up.
Brilliant. Jared Leto was amazing. And the whole WeWork craze... was just so out of this world. I read about it a little bit before, but did not realize how insane Adam was.
Very good, but also a very sad movie. Up to the point that it becomes hard to watch. Sure, I could identify the mistakes the mother made during the upbringing of Kevin, but were they sufficient enough to produce a psychopathic killer? I don't think so. They just helped.
Cringe-worthy, one cliché chasing another cliché. Schematic characters. Barely engaging story. I'll give it a little credit for being based on a real story. But it's still painful to watch at times.
The end of a monumental film trilogy, this one depicting the fall of Communism, and the main role of Lech Wałęsa in doing so. Similarly as the other two, the character of this movie is para-documental. A historical biopic. Cannot be rated objectively.
Decent drama/romance. I liked how few of the main characters were of Polish origin and how they used Polish language from time to time, although their accent left a lot to be desired.
Does not really stand up to the original Watchmen, the movie. Unfortunately. It's weirdly, completely different from the movie, taking only hints of characters from the original. The series is decent, mostly due to being a weird pseudo Sci-Fi.
The best goddamn superheroes movie. Ever. They don't make them like that any more. The bad guy wins, the best good guy gets killed, but it is supposedly better for the common cause. Loved it even more now than 12 years ago. Was a perfect 10, still a perfect 10.
Decent, even very good. The only gripe I have about it is that it's way too simplistic. The turning of Orcs to the other side happens over 30 seconds of dialogue... Like, come on!
Good story, but nothing more than that. The horse, was of course just a little bit too intelligent. Oh, and the decision that French and German people should be speaking English was quite ridiculous.
Great story incorporated into the financial crisis of 2008 (besides the "part" about emotionally unstable/totally unreasonable girlfriend). I loved how I could compare Gordon Gekko to Peter Schiff or the bankrupt investment bank to Lehmann Brothers and how all major news events of the crisis were part of the film. It was like going through it again and remembering it all.
Exceptional docu about American public schools system. It was quite eye-opening to see how it's ruled by worker unions and basically irrevocable tenures for teachers (ie: socialism in its full form). And how bad it has become precisely because of that. One quote struck me the most: local union leadership found Rhee's proposal so threatening, they would not even allow a vote (emphasis mine). I don't know about you, but for me this sounds as a dictatorship rule. North Korea, anyone?
Russian movie trying very hard to mimic Hollywood's pathos present in heroic movies. Doesn't fail, but it doesn't make the movie better. It's decent, with my personal highlight being the atmospheric re-entrance.
Decent, decent. Simple concept very well executed, thanks mainly to the awesome performance by Toni Servillo (greatest Italian actor ever?). A little bit too ambiguous ending as for me, though.
Ugh, damn those Bollywood movies with their inflated imdb scores. It's really just a mediocre action flick with lots of cringe-worthy moments and silly plot. Thankfully it has managed to keep me engaged enough to finish it.
More like a series of music-videos, instead of a proper documentary. Maybe a 100 words is being said throughout the whole movie. I did not get to know John Florence. I only saw him surf.
Woody Allen we know and love to watch. Excellent first half with low middle ground and much too quick and a little bit messy finish. Can't have everything...
There's just something about Sci-Fi movies... Wonderful story (just don't mind the holes here and there) with just a little bit too melodramatic ending.
Excellent! And really depressing at the same time to see what the Communist Special Services were capable of during the 50s (in Czechoslovakia, but the same was true in Poland).
Hmm... without reading the FAQ this movie basically makes no sense... And with reading it, it only makes the movie barely ok. But not really that good.
Excellent! Basically non-stop action movie from one third till the end, even though it deals with an unmanned train going on a journey. Highly entertaining.
Excellent! A little chaotic at first, trying to introduce as many characters as possible, but when it gets going, it does it pretty well. What say most about you is not how you handle victories, but how you handle loss.
Unlikeable characters, hardly believable plot plus some horribly bad scenes (the ending memorial for one). It was a good story yet told in a barely bearable French way. On the whole it was quite saddening, though.
Meh. And bleh. Too girlish, too boring, too dragging on. The only interesting part is about the married man. And it's show in maybe 5 minutes of the whole thing.
Exceptionally good. But this is to be expected from the writer of Tropa de Elite. I also loved how the BOPE leader was played by the same actor in both movies. In 174 it stroke me how much fucked up Brazil is -- where you have masked cops killing homeless children and where policemen kill criminals in police car while driving to the station. Both with cold blood. Worthwhile.
Poor dialogues and acting, much too unrealistic environment (like in "everything's perfect") and a very simple story. Polish take on romantic comedy genre.
Definitely one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever. Even though it's not really so much Sci-Fi. It's like the third or fourth time I'm watching this and boy it never gets old. Sure, it's dated now and it even shows, but the emotions are still there. Oh yes they are.
Intriguing. Ultimately I think this one was too one sided. And, most likely, the documents were forged. And the story was hasted without being verified properly.
Brilliant story, brilliant movie, exceptional man. Ah, what a dark times for USA the 50s were with this witch hunt. So much resemblance to current ('2016) situation in Poland.
Great Wild West movie. Love, love, love the Coen brothers. Seems that every time they put their hands on a movie a masterpiece is created. And so is this time.
Wow, it left me speechless. So damn good. Just so damn good. It is a spiritual successor to The Wire, one of the best crime/drama series of all time. And they said they'll never make anything like it any more. And they did, they did. Funny enough I wasn't in awe of the first season. And read mixed review of the second, so decided to skip it. What a mistake, what a mistake!
Decent, not great. Drags on way too much. It could have been nicely compressed into a 2 hour movie that would most likely rock. But with so many recollections, so many subsequent plots, it just did not manage to capture my full attention.
Excellent! Loved it tremendously! I'm not really sure if this was because I was in the right mood for this or just this movie was so good. Nice, quiet, pleasant, simple. Is it about sports? More like of my favorite type of movie - American suburbs family drama. But it's oh so much more than that!
Very good sequel to the original, which was a little masterpiece. Now it's much less shooting/killing and more about the corruption in police and government.
Good, but only that. Sure, it's geeky/nerdy and it's cool because of that, but it's so absurd and stupid at the same time it made me cringe. Oh, and the visuals are really stunning. The computer world is really, really beautiful and the CGI effects are top-notch.
Oh this one was so good! The social commentary was spot on. The dynamics, humour (I haven't laughed so much and so hard in a long while), acting, music (!) all were incredibly great.
Decent docu, although there's too much about family, about the man, and too little about his theories, his vision. And, well, I really want to believe Singularity will happen during my lifetime, although I'm pretty skeptical about it...
SPOILERS AHEAD! It's actually quite a good movie if you only accept the fact, that all of it was his imagination, his own personal memories, then all of the stupidness in the storyline actually makes sense.
Surprisingly good. I was expecting a much cheesier show than that, not remembering much from the last time I had seen it. It still is cheesy, inappropriate, predictable, but also very engaging and fun to watch.
Excellent! Basically nothing revealing, nothing I would not know before about the current crisis, well, maybe apart from the ah so interesting behind-the-scenes talks and that Henry Paulson (great role by William Hurt!) was the main force behind all of this. So, anyway, I had a really great time watching this and if you have any interests in current state of economy, you should have a great time as well. Oh, and I literally loved how they fucked over the Lehman Brothers. It was shown beautifully.
It started out with a big bang, hooking me up from the first minutes. It didn't let go until the second half of the season, where certain shortcuts, plot holes, whatever you call them, became too obnoxious. A good watch, nonetheless, just could have been so much better. Also... ending the season with so many plots unfinished... meh.
Just good and only that. It wasn't the usual Woody Allen masterpiece, so it has left me somehow disappointed. The humour is there, I did laugh a lot, but all three stories are not so great, but get rather tiring quickly (especially the bits with Ellen Page).
Great espionage thriller, which forces your brain into the overdrive mode, so you can follow the fast paced action as it unfolds. Note however, that there are hardly any shootings. This is intentional, as it's more about cat & mouse game, not about killing.
Hard to rate this movie in a justified way. It's a tragic story (which is true to a degree), told in an unpleasant way. The injustices presented are horrible.
Sci-Fi always had a warm place in my heart, even flicks such as this, without a good imdb rating. The premise is cool, the execution falls short. The acting by the lead is great, but the story is too predictable, and falls into cliches too often. But since this is Sci-Fi, it was still worth the while.
Wow, that was a surprising treat. Was about to put a cross-mark on all Marvel films, now I just might change my mind. Great humour, lots and lots of laughs. Great dialogues. Highly enjoyable
Give Kenneth Branagh 150 mil $ and you'll get a decent fantasy/action/drama flickr. "Entertainment at its best" - this sentence says it all. But you should not mind that this movie makes little sense. Loved Natalie Portman. And Stellan Skarsgård too, although he wasn't honored with enough screen time. Oh, and I wouldn't be myself if I haven't criticized the awful post end-credits spoiler of the mandatory sequel...
MJ4Ever. He was the true king of pop. The movie felt like a 110 min long videoclip. The only gripe I have is that he decided not to sing his best song (imo) - Dirty Diana.
Goodish. It has a lot of dull moments and drags on, but then bombards you with unexpected brilliance and masterful dialogues (Voiello!). The plot is weird, the cinematography is outstanding.
Legends never die? Apparently this one did. Maybe not fully, but sufficiently. The myth is gone. X-Files is no more. The story, the atmosphere, the plot, all those are ok, but the relationship and discussions between Scully and Molder leave a lot to be desired. Just ok. And I think it could not have been made any other way.
Ah, The Wire. The whole show is 10/10. I think they went too far with having McNulty fabricating murder(s), although the way they played it out, and the outcomes... brilliant.
Decent, quite decent. Dated, and felt a little bit too amateurish when it came to down to some of the dialogues, scenes, side storylines. It delivered, though.
Uneven political drama. I've lost all sympathy for the main character when he started proclaiming Communist propaganda (yet it was the truth, he was this way as this is a movie based on facts) (ENH2006).
This second season has been nothing but great. The only gripe I have is with a little bit unfullfiling ending, especially when compared with the rest of the season. I have laughed so hard and so much. Enjoyed it tremendously.
Lot's of really loud laughs, something that's not happening a lot at the movies for me. Some weird stories in there too. Not all that good though. Still quite a good watch.
Touching, poignant drama loosely based on a true story (or not, there's some controversy about it) of a couple of people who have escaped Siberian gulag and have travelled over 4000 miles to India. And what an incredible journey that was!
Great! Love those little semi-independent road movies. The downside is that now I really really want to walk The El Camino de Santiago, just like they did.
Way too poetic for me. Sure, the Hubble telescope shots are awesome, but I've seen them a hundred times already. Same goes for evolution shots, although the dinosaurs were cool. Shame there was so little of them. But wasn't it supposed to be a drama not a National Geographic movie?
Decent. Good story, perhaps a little bit too convoluted/over the top ending. Borrows a little bit from both No Country for Old Men and Bourne Identity.
Cheezy and cumbersome at first, but then it gets going and catches you by surprise. A really great look into the life of (one of) the greatest mind on earth.
Quite disappointed they killed Pete Davidson's character in the very first minute of the movie. Such wasted potential! In any case, this is basically Guardians of the Galaxy, just with different characters. Stupid? Yes, of course, it couldn't have been any other way. It's also quite funny, which makes all the difference.
OK as far as horror genre goes. Thrilling, scary, suspensful all that was there. But nothing more. And as goes with most flicks from this genere, the "victims" were as stupid in their actions as they can be.
Decent story with a very disappointing resolution. The motivations of the person sending the letters are not really well explained (or in other words - they simply made no sense).
Excellent watch! The story really takes you in and never let go. And I didn't mind that supposedly most of the story was not entirely true (aka made up). Great movie to start the year with!
Bordering absurd? No, it's way too absurd. It can't even decide whether it is a comedy (only few funny scenes; those were good) or a thriller/horror. Bad editing (unnecessary flashbacks). And on top of that its super tiring.
The greatest democracy in the world my ass. Why do those in power always think they can do anything, and when they do and commit terrible crimes, they always get away?
Wow. I was completely hooked. After the movie ended I felt completely lost. I thought I had no money and no home. It took me few seconds to come back to the reality. Once again, WOW.
Decent, decent, although very uneven, and misses a whole lot of detail on how they were actually able to convince the record labels to give them streaming rights.
Visually stunning. It is probably the most beautifully crafted/drawn world ever. Story-wise, it is also top-notch and keeps you on your toes. If it only were for certain plot holes (why did they stay in their trailer park? how can you transfer/print things 60 years back? etc. etc.). Still great, but could have been better.
It was good, quite good, yes. I have some gripes with plot holes and some general improbabilities, but the biggest one has got to be about the abrupt ending in the middle of the action. C'mon, that's not how one ends season. There should be some kind of resolution.
Wow, what a great series this was. Incredible story behind one of the greatest, if not the greatest movie of all time, The Godfather. I was so reluctant to see this, but oh boy was I in for some treat!
Intriguing. I once read that the only philosophical question that matters was whether or not to commit a suicide... I guess that makes me a philosopher. The sum of the letters in my name is 23!
Excellent drama. The first half of the series had me laughing my ass off, that's how funny it was. The second half is different. Toned down, mostly a court room drama. And it keeps us wondering till the very end. A great mini-series. John Turturro steals the show.
Wow... I've no idea why I skipped it back in 2016. It is jaw dropping marvelous. I had so much joy watching it. And Tom Hiddleston was just killing it.
ADHD series. No take should take more than 5 seconds. No 30 seconds without a forced-funny punchline. Ugh. I could not stand it. And this is in imdb top 250 of TV show?
Too much poetry, beauty, love. Too little gore, fight, war. And too sentimental too. It felt like I've been watching a different movie from the one I've expected. Still, it was a good watch.
All style, no substance. While not entirely true, as there is definitely a lot of substance here, it's all about the style. And style it has. Very much so.
Quite bad if you ask me. Statham's movies are getting worse and worse with each new one out. It's so absurdly stupid it made me cringe. Half-decent action sequences saved it, otherwise I would've stopped watching it halfway through.
It would be good, if it only weren't so cheap. Bad acting, bad dialogues, even the music wasn't great all the time. The story is mostly fine, but it has its own set of flaws and cliches. Overall it's barely watchable.
Very good! Took me a little by surprise as I did not expect this kind of story. Not sure exactly what I had expected, but it surely was not it. But it was very enjoyable and comes highly recommended by me.
This movie is actually quite bad, but it has Arnie in it! Guess that makes it a must see, even though he sure looks like a "grandpa" rather than a super-hero saving the world.
Decent. Loved Timothy Spall's role, he did it superbly. Also loved the message - a quotation by Albert Pierrepoint himself: The fruit of my experience has this bitter aftertaste... Capital punishment, in my view, achieved nothing except revenge..
I really hate remakes, especially if I've seen the <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0282599/">original</a>. Still, this one made me cry too ... so shat's why I give it 7 instead of 5.
Excellent! Brilliant dialogs, good acting and a lot of quick takes with great music, up to a point that sometimes it feels like watching a music video. Had a lot of great laughs, especially in the first half of the movie.
Really, really good. Just not that uber-great as Oscars would lead you to believe. But it's definitely a must-see movie. The highlight for me was Timothy Spall as Winston Churchill - now I'd very much like to see a movie about him with Timothy in the lead!
Wow, what a surprising treat! Excellent CGI (haven't seen CGI that good in a while) and a great story well told bring out a great mix that is a very pleasing experience.
Very decent. Sure, it's more focused on the person and her personal demons, than on the politics that made her famous, but I didn't mind that. You might also argue that the whole movie was a (successful) Oscar bait for Meryl Streep, and you would be also right. Also, I did not mind that either.
Very good, even though it plays the old/used/abused international conspiracy theory. Well, this is the difference between truth and fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
Totally incoherent and chaotic. Lots of interconnected stories with AIDS in the background. It was hard to really feel any kind of emotional attachment to any of the characters, as they were all really rotten.
Decent, very decent in fact, but only if you forget for the moment that the whole "War on drugs" is complete nonsense and waste of everyone's time and lives.
Wow, just wow. Of course, I knew the broad story, but boy oh did those details shine. The whole syping conspiracy, the dynamics. It was marevelous! And what a sad state the UK law had been at the time. They have killed one of if not the greatest mind of that time.
Wow, what a disappointment! Such stupidity, such a lousy story, dialogs. It made me cringe. And they have split this sequel into three different movies? What a joke! Fortunately, it's engaging enough to keep you entertained. But only barely.
Excellent premise wasted on some political bullshit. It could have been such a great movie if it was only about the games. Without rebellion that really did nothing to enhance the story (it got sidetracked and basically this plot has been abandoned), without those senseless politics. And you cannot change the rules in mid-game! This is like the golden rule. Breaking it is just stupid, both on the part of the "rulers" and scriptwriters...
This was so wonderful. I had a big grin on my face for the whole 2 hours. Also, Paul Giamatti was exceptional. And last but not least, Dustin Hoffman's appearance in a movie in a cinema was very much not random.
It's Middle Earth, so what can I say. I loved it, even though it is flawed beyond belief. Everything comes "too easy", the story is flattened, lacking any depth. The characters are rather shallow...
Maybe too intellectual and just maybe too gay, but just maybe. There is no "barring accidents". History is just one fucking thing after another. Oh, and the surprising ending.
Funny and enjoyable, which is quite surprising given the low ratings. Sure, it's stupid beyond belief at times, but if you're in the mood for a light comedy...
Completely hilarious! I was really surprised how funny it turned out, despite being a sequel (and those are mostly much worse than the original movies).
I just fucking hate watching movies dealing with human exposure to radioactive materials. At the time the same was true for Indians massacre in the US. Both themes are just too hard bare...
Childish bordering stupid. Definitely naive yet somehow had me at the polar bear introduction (and then the big fight). I almost cried, which was very surprising for such a lousy movie. And what's with the abrupt ending in the middle of a story?
Ah, the remakes. Why do they always fall short of the original? Don't get me wrong, it's still an excellent movie, it just lacks in various areas. Daniel Craig is OK, but the girl playing Lisbeth Salander? Oh, Noomi Rapace playing in the original was so much, much better! And I really did not like the changes that were made to the original story, which made the ending look kind of bleak. Overall it was still very entertaining, just wasn't such a revelation as the original.
Weak story, weak acting and on top of that the race sequences are mostly computer generated, which makes them a far cry from BMW clips with Clive Owen. The only thing good in here was the music.
"We all belong in a museum" says Stallone. And he's right. You're all too old for this kind of action. And while I admire the cast - I haven't seen a movie that would have so many stars in it - it's the only thing going on for this movie. Everything else is just crap. Dialogs, story, acting, all is way below bearable.
Quite good, actually. Even despite being ultimately naive Rambo style. Unbelievable cast - seeing Bruce Wills, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in one scene is a truly memorable experience. Plus Jet Li's role as a sort-of punchbag - marvellous!
Wow, what an excellent treat! I usually tend to love movies in which the bad guys asks the question: Who are you?! and then gets killed. This one's no exception. Denzel Washington as Ninja, Samurai, Batman and Rambo all mixed into one is simply too good!

The Entrepreneur (2007)
4/5
2007-07-22 20:50
Story about a visionary entrepreneur (Malcolm Bricklin) set on changing the world. Icon of globalization (ENH2007).
Really good! A little tragic story about the lack of choices/imprisonment and... love. Marvelous performance by Ralph Fiennes accompanied greatly by Kiera Knightley. The Duke as a character was so funny (unintentionally, maybe not) I was almost bursting into tears.
It starts slowly, showing quirky Elisabeth with fake "deep" voice that hurts one's ears. It was very much "meh" all around. But some time after episode two it gets going, and once it does we are in for a great ride. Excellent portrait of the lies surrounding the whole affair.
The visuals, the effects, the cinematography. Wow, wow, wow. I want more movies like this. But the story, eh. Big meh. If only this movie wasn't so stupid script-wise. If only. Still, it's a Sci-Fi, so, you know. I loved it anyway.
And here I was thinking this would be a movie about the evolution of snowboarding tricks and snowboarding itself. It's so much more than that. I've no idea why I waited 9 years to watch this... I ride for Kevin Pearce.
Fantasy in it's fullest. Great effects, spectacular battles. Pity, it's so childish, so of course no one dies (on the good side, that is) yet there's a war going on. Nonetheless it's quite enjoyable.
The thing that the main character - Gary Grobowski played by Vince Vaughn - is from Poland and the fact that he emphasize this in every possible moment is simply great. I was laughing very hard. And it has some very brilliant moments. Highly enjoyable.
It's decent docu, though Google was and is right, what they did was not really a ground for having being issued a patent. Even with implementing the exact same algorithm is not and should not be the grounds for any compensation. This stifles innovation.
A little bit slow in the beginning and a little bit complicated finish. Overally - very good. I wonder how much of it is actually true. I suppose lots. One quote to remember:
- A bit tight under the arms, don't you think?
- Traditional fit, sir. One can't raise one's arms above one's head. It tends to inhibit any impulsive acts of surrender.
What do you do when you have a bunch of superheroes, each of them indestructible and immortal, and you want to make a movie with them? First thing you have to come up with a script which is better than half-stupid. Unfortunately Avengers don't fall into this category. The story is so stupid and so full of holes that it made me cringe a lot. Premium example of that is when superheroes instead of fighting bad aliens are rescuing civilians who are trapped in a bus... Thousands are dying in the streets (presumably, not a single dying civilian is shown!) but rescuing few civilians is more important than saving the world. Eh. Very, very mediocre movie.
Excellent! Sure, the story is just a little bit too improbable (too many lucky coincidences), but fortunately it doesn't stop me from enjoying it tremendously.
Homage to The Limits of Control, The Day of the Jackal, Sergio Leone's and James Bond movies. Although I must say, that choosing George Clooney for the lead was a controversial decision. He's normally a very social, the life and the soul of the party type of guy, while here he plays a very introverted and untalkative character. That felt kid of strange.
What is this? A remake? A Hollywood remake of a Hollywood movie? Where's the sense in that? It seems so pointless, like the only reason it was made was money. And money it has brought. Unfortunately. So there will be 2 more parts to the trilogy. Without me, though, as it was quite bad.
Good, but, well, not great. It's a decent story, just the action is too fast/too improbable/too superhero like. And Tintin seems way too smart as well. Although I very much enjoyed the whole intrigue. But despised the foretelling of the sequel.
Simply put: AWESOME. I simply *love* all those mind-benders, that make me to think really really hard first, on what the *blip* is actually going on, and second on what I would actually do when put in the protagonist's shoes. And while it borrows heavily from such cult-classics as Inception, Dark City, Matrix and probably several others, it still provides exceptional entertainment value. And that's really what matters. Originality is overrated.
Oh what a treat! Amazing personality, awesome movie. Not perfect, well, it almost it, but had some, just slight slowdowns and unnecessary scenes and dialogs down the way. Just a tiny bit, so I didn't bother much and enjoyed it as such. WOW!
Just ok. Couple of weak points, unfortunately. First one is how can you be the "Teacher of the year" if all you do is read a book during class? That's great teaching? Not really. And second, the gay plot is not explored fully, the public opinion was not informed, it was just abruptly finished. Still, it's a good watch, just not without flaws.
If they want, they sure know how to make good movies. And this one is exactly that. My only gripe is how much of a show-off it is, and how much it deviates from the reality. I guess that's the price for entertainment.
Decent. Not great, like I was expecting it (I really love those US suburbs movies). Also the sexual subplot felt like someone has watched too much Larry Clark.
Very good drama. The topic is nothing new, it has been used in many movies (i.e. dealing with illegal immigrants), but it has been shown very realistic in this movie.
Exceptional person, exceptional movie, exceptional role. Certainly deserves an Oscar nomination, although I'm quite positive they don't give them out to TV movies.
It’s still great! Managed to keep all the charm from the first season, and the humor is as much awesome. There are some crappy subplots, unfortunately, otherwise it would be a ten.
Ugh. Toilet humor at its worst. Combine that with a pretty boring and predictable story and you came out of this movie pretty disappointed. There are a few good jokes, but those are few and far between.
Exceptionally good. The only drawback was those horrible dancing/singing intermissions. C'mon, it's 2011, could we please get rid of them and proceed with the storyline? Oh, and the just way too smart horse. I know, I know, it's for kids, blah, blah, but... it still takes away a little from the overall enjoyment.
Excellent! Beautiful parallel between Christopher Columbus' conquering of the New World and the real Bolivia water crisis of 2000 (when an American water company bought the water supply from the Bolivian government). It was incredible to see how much the protests of the native Indians against the Spanish rule in the 1500s resembled the protests of citizens of Cochambamba, Bolivia in 2000.
Brilliant! Extremely funny comedy by Stephen Frears. Virtually no dull moments. Also, it has a certain Woody Allen's attitude to drawing the characters and driving the story forward. Highly recommended.
Good. And only that. Does not live up to the original and you'll be making a good decision to passing this one up. Zero originality, terrible, cringe-worthy "personal" scenes (beginning & ending), not much tension and too improbable... oh well. But it's watchable. At least the fighting is at least half-decent.
Excellent! Quite surprisingly at that, as I did not put too much hope in this movie. Even thought that this is basically a South-Korean take on Rounders, it's done with much finesse. And it succeeds even despite a very, very slow beginning.
At first it's your typical Bollywood movie. Dragging on, numerous song intermissions, black/white characters and a very simplistic story. You just have to patiently wait for the first hour (when basically nothing happens) till the story unfolds. And then be prepared for a treat. Maybe it's not poignant, but it was definitely touching.
"China's economy ain't growing as fast as it could because they can't get all the oil they need. Now, I'm damn proud of that fact". Very powerful. And so true... You should watch this movie at least twice to "get" all the twists and quirks.
A world of its own. A world of Charlie Kaufman. Great movie about passing away and importance of things. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain wasting years for a phone call or a letter or a look... from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes, or it seems to, but it doesn't really. So you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along.
Decent, decent. Even though there were too many technological loopholes that made the whole surrogates design completely unusable in practice, so there was no chance for them to become so ubiquitous as presented. Bruce Wills, however, delivers. Us usually.
I think that the outstanding problem with Superman is the fact that he is the Superman. Meaning, that his powers are limitless and he can basically do anything he wants. And that creates a little bit too wide disproportion between him and his enemies. In consequence there is no way to write a good script for him and this movie is a perfect example of that.
Decent, even though it's very naive/simplistic. And a little bit too kiddie for my taste, although I really liked the overall concept of "wanting to go home" (ET, District 9 to name a few).
Very, very stupid, to the point of being ridiculous. Semi sympathetic protagonist, but his companion... oh my! Ellen Page was brilliant as an overreacting teenager (actually admitting to being 22). I also loved how it made fun of the superheroes genre (finding superheroes without special powers, making out between super-hero and super-girl). So despite being a complete nonsense, it was actually really really funny. Apart from some cringe-worthy moments, that is. But the making out scene blew me completely...
Probably the first true Polish western (spaghetti to be exact). With English dialogue with weird accent, shootings, prairie, Ennio Moriconne like soundtrack and not too smart characters. Great fun (31. FPFF Gdynia '06).
Complete utter crap. Can't really say why I did bother with it. Must have been the Zack Snyder's name behind it. Did not help. Sorry... But it might be that I'm not the target group for this movie.
Very, very dark and sad movie. There was no hope for main characters and there is no hope for the child. Pathology lives on, there's no way of breaking it.
There's just something special about high-budget us cop flicks. They are simply awesome. And this one's no exception. Great story, almost perfect execution. Ending, yes, the one bit that just not felt right. A little bit too simplyfied, perhaps. But other than that, it was a really thrilling ride.
Decent. In fact, very decent. However, it's too much of the same old. Third deathstar, similar scenes, similar dialogues, similar duels, etc, etc. Just too much of the same stuff. More originality please.
Very dark, very powerful. I think I had seen this episode only once as I did not remember most of the things. Surprisingly (or not, depends on whom you ask) this one is the best of the "new three".
Too many cringe-worthy moments and too complex political background. Still good, but not as good as it could be. I consider this one to be the weakest in the whole series (1-6).
Considered the worst out of all 6 episodes, I found it to be extremely good (3rd time I watched this, I believe, after all the years). Very captivating.
Excellent! Really, really surprising. Unknown director, totally unknown cast yet it's top-notch! And even two biggest gripes about it (the "big boss" and "of course" the 2nd girl) could be overlooked. Yes, it was that good! Loved the story, loved the main heroes.
Boring/pointless. It certainly made the actors and teachers as weirdos. 5 funny minutes in America showing the completely different culture/attitude than in Europe.
Weak script (with terrible ending) - although the main idea was just a little bit plausible - is accompanied with great acting (love Jake Gyllenhaal) and perfect execution. That combined gave a decent action flick.
Excellent! Light, funny, engaging. Sure, I might have expected something much stronger from Faith Akin, but he can make such a light-themed movie just as good.
Definitely not a movie for everybody. There's really not that much character development, no coherent storyline, it's life, just as it is and for the protagonist it's filled mostly with boredom. But the movie is quite the opposite. I found it quite engaging, especially given the fact that I've dreamed the life he's living (haven't we all?).
Surprisingly good! Goes to great lengths to make this fairy tale as real as possible (with just enough magic not to spoil it). Blood is blood, dirt is dirt (even the white horse becomes black from mud).
Very decent thriller. It could have been a little bit better when it comes to storyline, but it was still decent enough to keep me interested throughout the whole flick.
Much ado about nothing! Apart from the few funny moments, it's nothing special. The best part is actually the music video in the end. Oh, and on top of that most of the snakes are just CGI...
A movie which makes you really angry. Mostly against UK/US at the Yalta conference in 1945, where they have basically sold Poland to be occupied by Russia for 44 years. And for killing one of the bravest heroes of WW2. Such a disgrace.
Simply put: awesome talk & acting. Ellen Page was brilliant. With every role she seems to be better and better, even though every one of her characters share same traits.
Certainly made me cry. And completely blew me away too. Strange that this kind of movie got an Oscar. Even stranger is that it got the most important one. Strong piece of cinema and very unlike any Bollywood movie you might have seen.
Loved the music, loved the visuals, loved the CC-SA license, loved some of the dialogs although the overall story was so-so (I guess I'm not that into Hinduism).
Many, many movies I've seen dealing with this subject. The story's always the same. Only the characters change. Still this one's quite unique. Very good watch.
Good docu, although it just shows how much behind current technology the modern film-making is. And how many of the greatest directors are still relying on FILM instead of going full digital. But it was interesting to hear their reasons for that.
Quite decent as far as it comes to 4th installments. And funny too, surprisingly as you might have fought they have squeezed any laught you can get out of Shrek in the previous three parts.
A little bit boring and dragging on. The pace just isn't there, so you loose your focus quickly. It has some value, sure, but it's not my type of cinema.
Very, very so-so, or maybe even just bad. Just too stupid for me... and also way too Sci-Fi (Holmes' physical & psychical abilities, face surgery, etc.).
Meh. It's a good watch, but the cons are so silly. And the whole concept of not vetting anyone who has direct contact with a billionaire is very naive.
Disturbing eye-opener. Maybe just a little bit too harsh in judging the acts of man, but then again, all movies about protecting the environment are like this.
Rwandan Genocide of 1994 once again. And shown extremely well too. A little bit different perspective from Hotel Rwanda, but the story is very similar. It really was a failure of humanity. Whole wide world rather looked away while they should've been listening closely to the cries for help.
Quite decent, although this being British meant I had to have my concentration tuned at 100 per cent. And it still did not help. Only after reading the imdb forums I was able to understand the story.
This one is a very slow burner. It drags on forever in the beginning, but once it gets going (unfortunately only at episode 8 or so), it steams full on ahead. And then it is a thrilling ride. Such a mind bending experience. Just the end leaves so much to be desired. Ending is so abrupt, without concluding anything, just leaving it all hanging. Ahh.
25 years I had waited to see this (sorry, Bart). And this was a mistake, as this series was an important anime work of its generation (alongside Ghost in the Shell, Evangeltion, Cowboy Bebop, et al.). 25 years later it is unfortunately very, very dated. Though the overall concept, and the characters still stand. It's a decent watch, though one has to be patient with certain parts, which drag on for too long.
One hell of a thriller. It would have been nearly perfect, if it wasn't for the flawed ending, showing a hagiographic depiction of our protagonist (almost a new Jesus). It would have been so much better with an open ending.
The second season is good, especially last two episodes (and the whole plot involving Lila Facchini). The action sequences are also top notch (the club shooting is a masterpiece). The rest... meh. Too much music, dancing, scenes without action.
Exceptional story about an amazing formula one driver - Ayrton Senna. I even had a vague recollection of his ongoing dispute with Alain Prost. And, of course, I remembered his tragic accident.
First "real" movie about kiteboarding? Sign me up. And don't expect complains. The storyline and dialogue is crap, but it's about kiteboarding, so who cares!
The best Polish comedy of all times and the best Polish movie of all times. After all this years it still is extremely funny and haven't aged not even slightly.
Wow, what a story! So incredible you might find it hard to believe it's really true. I was sorry for the guy, but on the other hand he was really happy with what he did. He wasn't even angry about what has happened.
Quite bad... and quite predictable if you expect this "in next 5 minutes someone will be killed" and "the actual killer or killers will turn out to be the least expected person/persons", oh and this "it all will make no sense whatsoever".
Decent. Although quite hard to really grasp. Unfortunately there are no imdb forum posts, but I've managed to find some reviews that explained the ambiguous ending quite well.
This film is pretty drastic, but what could you expect after reading the synopsis. It's an important film and it's good that it has been made. Oscar will surely help it spread and reach wider audiences. But it's a difficult watch. And it's really hard to rate it.
Only half-decent. It's watchable, but it could have been so much better! Too many weird scenes, too many cringe-worthy moments, totally ruined ending ("this is how I have imagined it"... wth?).
Visually stunning. Some of the scenes are really jaw dropping. What it lacks was at least a small caption with the name of the place that it was filmed in (I've used Google Googles to find names of some of the places, but it helped me only in a few cases). Also there's no story, no dialogues, but there's a hidden message, or rather messages, that are left to the viewer to decipher.
Hard for me to say anything, really. Disturbing, yes. I kind of wish it had been put in a context, with some kind of explanation why and who were those people. [Apparently, after reading some more, the overall context might not have been that much necessary. Although it helped knowing it was based on Marquis de Sade's work.] [The Abu Ghraib/Lynndie England case now looks a little bit different.]
This is an exceptionally good series. It has some flaws (he got too lucky; the Firuz cop subplot was so-so; some dialogues are cringe worthy, etc), but the main story is very good and well told. Oh, it also has some very memorable quotes: "Good films make your life better", and "Life is a memory. You'll die when you forget".
Can't really say much about this, although I should as this movie has won the audience award for the best picture during the 6th Era Nowe Horyzonty Film Festiwal (ENH2006) that I had the chance to attend.
Very decent action click. Maybe a little bit too much "over the edge" (i.e. too complicated/too improbable), but if you close your eyes to that, it's a nicely done shoot-most-of-em-all type of movie.
Wow... This is definitely one of the best Polish dramas. So sad, so gripping, so poignant. While it's another movie showing horrors of war (and of Russians as well), it is in no way cliche.
Wow... That was an awesome experience, especially that it was based on facts. Really disturbing too, that special services, the government and even CIA had something to do with the massacre. Italy, shame on you.
Not quite on a par with other underdog stories, although I believe you perceive this movie differently when you are over 50. One great quote to remember, though: It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
Stupid movies are stupid. That's how it is and nothing can be done about it. The plot makes absolutely no sense at all. But hey, there's at least some half-decent action!
Very good! And quite surprisingly, to be fair, as this does not come from Dreamworks/Pixar. Really engaging story, likable characters, good laughs, decent music,... I could go on... Maybe it lacks this spark that would push me to give it 5/5, but it gets really close to this score.
Not that good cup movie, although premises and cast were excellent. I'd say the motives and actions of the noir character were not sufficiently motivated. At least not sufficiently to me.
It's good to be back in the Riddick's universe. I always liked this character. And while this latest installment is a fun ride, it disappoints largely. Just one too many stupidity in the plot.
Simply great. It also got more serious, more philosophical. There's more continuity between episodes, there is some ambiguity (is Beth a clone or isn't she?). All adds up to the show, which better and better.
Quite absurd, if you ask me, but oh well, it's Kevin Smith, so what did I expect? Quite funny, little bit engaging, although dragging on in few places too. Generally good, but without any fireworks.
Grainy, gritty and sad look at corrupted cops in the Yorkshire police force. Enjoyable, but too many characters and a little bit too convoluted plot (same as in the first part).
Decent, but a little bit one sided, praising Bordeaux as it was the only region in the world making good wine. Shame it idn't mention the New World, especially California.
God-like Reacher, who's not Tom Cruise. Rambo-style all the way. Meh. Watchable. I still remember bits from the sniper story in the original 2012 movie. This one? I'll forget tomorrow.
Flawed. Deeply. Too moralizing, too childish, too simple, too exaggerated. Yet it had a few so extremely funny moments that they've compensated most of the flaws.
"Did you notice how there were no Eskimos, gays nor transvestite represented in this movie. What a racist movie! And the band at the wedding wasn't village people doing YMCA. Another proof that this movie is homophobic. "
"What on earth does the colour or nationality of the wedding guests and friends in this wonderful movie have to do with anything. They're all just people."
"are you saying Eskimos, native Americans and Australian aborigenes are not people? they weren't represented in this movie."
"Why the fu_ck should Eskimos, native Americans etc be represented in the movie."
"Because Rachel is getting married."
And that basically sums it up. Way overdone. Dogma US style.
Brilliant analogy made between the rabbits living inside the no man's land inside the Berlin Wall and people living on both sides of it. Funny and tragic at the same time. [DKF Marcello]
Ah, our centuries old xenophobia in the eastern Europe. Beautifully portrayed. No answers given. Just different points of view, and consequences of actions.
It tried to be something good. It isn't. It's only ok, but Pasikowski always made flawed action movies. This one is probably the worst in the series, but it has Franz Maurer, and that makes it all the more worthwhile.
Not as great as the original. The political side is lacking and not so engaging. There are very few such memorable quotes as in the first part. As far as 90s go, this was/is still a decent action movie.
A legend. The legendary Psy movie by Pasikowski. A cult classic. It's not a good movie by modern standards, it's not a bad one either. It is still the greatest Polish action movie of the 90s. Cult scenes, cult dialogues.
Decent, although it has raised many questions but gave no answers. And the main character's "change" caused by figuring out the other's man employment while previously giving bribes left and right... not really that convincing. But it's a nice watch.
Wow... That was an amazing experience! Simply loved it. Oh, and the questions! So many questions left unanswered, so much left for individual interpretation...
Very mixed feelings. It's a very good story - add to that that it's based on real ppl and events - but the way it was presented (the acting, the way over the top drama, the dialogs) left a lot to be desired (i.e. I could not stop cringing).
What a crap. I cannot believe that such a great director as François Ozon would fall so low with this movie. Sure he follows the latest fad of doing 60/70s period movies in a certain "fashion", but man this was so bad...
Like father, like son. David Cronenberg's son. This one required an explanatory YouTube video to fully grasp its meaning. The movie's decent, but only after you understand its meaning.
Typical disaster film. In order to enjoy it you must like the genre very much as there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary in this movie. For me, as always, it is a very good time as I love those kind of movies.
This one got to me really hard. Fuck, fuck, fuck. One could only hope such corruption is becoming a thing of the past. The movie has so much content it should have been a mini series. That's my only gripe.
Didn't really appeal to me. Too chaotic, zero characters I could identify with - everyone was neurotic/nervous or just plainly stupid. And no coherent storyline, just some loosely coupled police stories.
Decent, but somewhat lacking. First the story, which was good (and based on facts), but also too glorifying and with too much martyrdom. Then the acting, just a little bit over the top, accompanied by dialogs full of pathos (although hearing North Korean communists yelling "we're here to rescue you, to have a unified Korea" was quite funny). Only the special effects were really good. So overall it was just ok.
Has its charms. The ending in particular is quite entertaining. It has its drawbacks too, like a one too many cringe worthy scenes. Best to watch it with your significant other. Careful, she might shed a tear or two, while your burst into laughter.
2nd time I watch this movie and while it did not have the same impact on me as it had in 2006, it is still a very powerful piece of cinema. So Polish, so true.
Ugh. Not sure I wanted to watch this movie. To say it's disturbing is to put it lightly. Gruesome, horrifying, shocking. Loosely based on a real story (James Bulger).
I liked the first two parts better. This one, ending the trilogy, was a little bit too complicated. I also did not like the fact that everything was not definite, even death. You can always resurrect.
Nicolas Cage being Nicolas cage it was only fair of me to expect him to kill every bad man in this movie. Instead he didn't even land a single punch, and we got a quiet drama.
Exceptional. Although very ambiguous in some parts (what was the relationship between all main characters? were they all in the scam? did he really betray her? was she really Jewish?), without clear answers on imdb forums.
So-so. Yes, there were some funny moments, true, but the amount of absurdity/stupidity/ignorance was at the point of insulting me and my intelligence. And even though the main /alien/ character shared my first name (and that's how the movie is called too) it only gave it a slight advantage in my overall rating, which is this: barely ok.
Just ok. Could have been so much better, if it wasn't for it being too childish and too moralizing/pompous. And I hate movies with kids smarter than adults...
Not sure why I liked it so much. It was just so very well made on so many levels. And so many great punchlines, such clever social commentary. The only gripe I have is that the reverse aging process is too quick/too naive. But the rest is great. And one quote, which left me in chills. "after the baltic states left the European Union the tourism died"...
Great (and believable!) story, even though it's been done a thousand times in various remixes. Decent acting. Very engaging, I had my hands sweating from start to finish. Overally - excellent movie!
Very surprised at how good this one was. First revelation was Seth Rogen, who was amazing, as is usually the case. Then the characterization of Pam and Tommy, which made both incredibly lookalike. And then Lily James, who as impersonated Pamela incredibly well. And finally the woman/feminist angle of the tape, and the damage it did. Great mini series all around. I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
Good fictionalized drama about the death of a Polish nuclear scientist in 1978. Never resolved, but it is very plausible that Russian intelligence played a role with his death. We'll probably never know.
Oh wow, what a piece of crap! And to think that the master del Toro directed this!? That's just ridiculous. The monsters and the fighting scenes were rather good, I'll give that. But the rest was just cringe-worthy. Acting? Terrible B-class coming out of B-class actors. Dialogs? Mostly just a collection of random one-liners. Story, as expected, is mostly stupid as well...
Ah, finally the end. It's been too long, and very tiring going through all those 4 seasons. It has a decent ending, I give it that, because it saved this series. There's been too much absurd decisions, illogical consequences, weird turns of events. I guess the whole show is worth watching, but... it could have been so much better.
It was ok. There was more action compared with the first season, but there was also a lot more of nonsense in the dialogs, actions of the characters. Still keeps you hooked.
Good premise, but it turned into absurdity and stupid decisions, dialogues, characters, situations too quickly. It gets you hooked pretty good, though. And it's still a decent watch. Just could have been so much better.
Oh the injustices of the modern world. One would think that colonialism ended in the 19th century. Not so much in England. They were still practicing it up until the 1960s. And, which does not surprise me, the catholic church was in it together with the British government (with the usual enslaving/raping of young boys).
One awesome movie! Loved the styling, the dialogues, the story. In a way it reminded me of a previous Jarmusch's work - Ghost Dog. It was just perfect!
Only so-so. Feels like Princess Mononoke meets Avatar, only less action and more useless dialogs (characters explaining their true intentions, despite it being to their disadvantage). The whole concept was OK, just the execution was very flawed.
Guess I don't have a thing in me for old movies. There's just too many mistakes, too many cringe worthy moments, too improbable dialogues/scenes/etc. This one's no exception. The story is good, I'll give it that, but the details are just no up to par. The music was great too. Also, the ambiguity of the last scene didn't really resonate with me.
Beautiful, poignant drama. Very slow at first, but picks up the pace for the wonderfully rewarding ending. It would be really sad if this was Studio Ghibli's final piece.
As Bollywood as it gets. Sometimes I think that they make movies purely to show dancing and singing. The story is just something to add in the mix. And of course those movies really take you in after the second hour or so... but then you're in for a really good time.
Decent, very decent in fact. A couple of low points, though(her partner was just to be there, not to suggest or solve anything; a little bit too melodramatic near the end).
Simply put: WOW. Incredible visuals, excellent casting, acting, music, effects. The only weakness is the story full of holes, but if you close your eyes to that and let the movie overwhelm you (like it did me), you'll enjoy it tremendously.
Absurd. Totally absurd. Brilliant. Totally brilliant. Similar to one old Woody Allen movie and Stranger Than Fiction. Yet so much more refined. I loved Edgar, played by Alex van Warmerdam, the director and script writer.
Brilliant documentary with excellent storytelling of the OJ's life. And the double murder. And the trials. And the conviction. And the racism. And the absurdity of his case.
Surprised how good it was. I've enjoyed it tremendously and am in awe of her physical strength and endurance. All her real life critics can go elsewhere.
78 minutes long and 10 years old music video for the "90210 on acid". This concludes the Gregg Araki trilogy for me. Thrill ride, I say. The Future Sound of London track completely blew me away.
So-so. Predictable and not really that great script, terrible dialogs and not really justified behavior of some characters make for a very uneven movie. Thankfully it has struck just the right chords, triggering emotions in when it should.
Wow. I was literally shocked. Minute after minute I was being dragged into a great suburban story. And with each passing minute I witnessed the perfection of the story and, especially, the main character. Really, perfectly made. The sound, the music, the action, the dialogues, yes, especially the dialogues. Just wow. So indie yet so mature.
Excellent premises. First half is a very enjoyable joyride. Nice twits, action keeping you on your toes. Excellent dialogues. Exquisite music! All ruined by the closing act. Totally unnecessary twists, too complicated, just poor. Overally it was a good movie that could have been great.
Excellent indie-making in a country, when singing by females is forbidden. Movie forbidden to make, banned in its own country, Iran. Definitely a must see.
Haunting love/jealousy story, which stays with you long after the movie has ended. Subtle Sci-Fi background, creating an alternative universe, hardly showing any "magic" gadgets. Worthwhile.
Sure, it features lots of gross humor with toilet and penis jokes all over the place, but I have to say it did have a charm and was extremely funny at times. Really enjoyed it!
So meh... One cringe after another and that goes on and on and on. I laughed only once, in the anthology episode (about his beard) and that's it. Hard pass for me.
Wow, what an incredible story! It is even more surprising to know how close to the truth it was (at least when it comes to number of losses on both sides).
Very so-so. Somehow I don't find movies depicting stars (and especially female ones and especially fucked up like Marilyn Monroe was) that much amusing.
"I cannot believe I still have to protest this shit..." is a perfect quote for the mind-boggling stubbornness of the US government in terms of the ERA, and equal rights in general. Cate Blanchett was brilliant.
The story's been told many times before. Not much there that would make this one any original. Still, the 21st century vision is quite appealing. Good watch.
Simply put: incredible. And terrifying. Really terrifying. The presented scenario is way too plausible. Just not yet. Loved the 2001 references, especially how Gerty was the exact oppsite of HAL.
Tries really hard to be like Cloverfield. Well, maybe it tried too hard. Lot's of things weren't right. Acting and the overall story being the main culprits. But it's not entirely bad. It's quite ok to watch.
Wow... It literally took my breath away. Really really well told story. I felt so sorry for Bachir Lazhar, he was so good and so constrained even though he experienced so much tragedy in his life.
Somewhat ok. Loved Olaf Lubaszenko as SB officer. But as is usual the case with Polish movies, it was too artificial, the dialogs were quite terrible at some moments too.
Excellent! This is what I expect of an action movie. Fast paced action, good story and decent acting. It delivered all of those. One nitpick I have is that Tom Cruise is no longer young. And it shows, but I guess that's the way life goes. Will it be the last one in the series with him?
Wow, this one has caught me by surprise. I prolonged watching it for so long, oh how wrong was I. This film is brilliant. And the humour, just wow. Even shed a tear or two while watching the ending...
Meh. It has some great moments, but falls short overall. Too convoluted, too many forced scenes, dialogues, characters, storylines. Watchable, but could have been much better.
Wow, surprisingly and not suprisingly good! Not surprisingly because most Hollywood movies about sports are pretty good. Especially ones based on true stories, like this one.
Still very good, but not that great as the first part. It kind of reminds me of Matrix and its two sequels. They were still quite good (imo), but did not live up to the first part. Same goes for the Millennium trilogy.
Love, love, LOVE Woody Allen. Excellent cast with Owen Wilson in the lead, as the "simple" man that takes everything that hits him oh so lightly. Also great story about what "golden days" mean to different characters.
Didn't really catch my attention. I've even begun to think that I'm getting too old for Hollywood action movies but then I've read some trashing imdb reviews and everything went back to normal. This movie is simply bad!
Overall so-so. Lars von Trier always created controversial movies and this one's no different. And even though it's engaging, you could not really sympathize with any of the characters.
It's a good movie about a very difficult subject. I think I liked it, although not as much as I thought I would. The homage made to Werner Herzog was really cool, though.
Nothing, nothing could prepare me for this one. Truly the most gruesome, brutal, shocking, violent, disgusting, repulsive movie I've ever seen (watching it in HD might have something to do with it too). One that stays with you for a long time...
Simply put - LOVED IT. It has everything *right* about what is *wrong* with the current finance world (in US especially) and has greatly shown the start of a financial crisis/collapse of 2008, effects of which are felt to this day (end of 2011) and what is even more important, it has presented us the believable look at people who were responsible for the crisis in the first place. Amazing story, exceptional cast & acting. Really really recommended.
Decent, although not without flaws. First of all - the main hero(s) were too much like James Bond or
Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible, i.e. everything felt way too improbable/impossible to be executed like this.
That was exceptionally good as far as superhero movies go! It has kept me on its toes for the whole time. Sure, it's full of stupidities, but you just have to let them go.
Very good story! Perhaps a little bit over the top, i.e. it was made way more dramatic than it should have been, but it is still a very good watch, that puts your emotions in high gear. The other gripe I have is that it did not have much in common with the real story of Korean soldier found on the shores of Normandy wearing German uniform...
Just ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. And some things Mike did, were, well, not what would a smart man as him do. So those bits made me loose interest in the story.
Good, not great. I think that creators had more fun making it, than me watching it. Could have been much better if there wasn't so much music and so many absurd situations.
Still one of the best romance movies of all times. It hasn't aged even a little bit. Bill Murray is simply at his best in this role. I was crying from laughter during almost every other scene with him.
Very decent. I both loved and hated the unfinished character of this movie. And it felt like a badly edited one too. Intentionally, of course. Was he blind or was he not? Was he Mateo or was he Harry? Does she love or hate the rich Martel?
Movie makes absolutely no sense. Time-travel paradoxes are trivialized to the point of absurdity. Fortunately it works at least half-decently as an action movie.
That felt different. Much different from the other X-Men movies. I would give it 10 if there were more drama and good dialogues instead of constant chase and fights.
Very so-so slash bad. Felt a little like a Bad Santa/Love Actually rip-off. And, well, it has all problems of family movies: too smart kids, improbable situations and general disconnection with the reality (i.e. the movie is more of a fairy tale).
I believe it was good. It certainly made me think. I also certainly know that I did not fully comprehend it. What I'm certain of though is that there is a lot of truth in the saying: trying and failing is better than failing at trying.
Great "what if?" movie about an otherwise regular man becoming a somewhat superhero. To be able to become ten times smarted than you already are is like a geek's ultimate fantasy. Limitless possibilites indeed... ah, one can dream!
Half-decent. As is usually the case with all half-decent Hollywood horror movies, the characters had to make all the stupid decisions. I'll give it some credit for being Sci-Fi, though.
Chinese action comedies are definitely not my type of movies. And this one just proves that. Completely absurd story and ridiculous characters with their completely wacko intentions do not make a good film. Sorry.
Really, really unsympathetic characters and their story. I could not emphasize with any one of them. Even though I tried. Surprisingly you still watch it nonetheless.
Ugh. I could not bare to watch it, so terrible... so terrible... What is it with those musicals that people seem to like them and producers keep making them? And even give them Oscars?!
Here's some damn well told football history for you kids out there. That's how it was back in the day. And great it was! Oh, so great and so fun! I was literally bursting with tears so many, many times.
Excellent prohibition drama. What is especially nice is that it's based on real story (although you'll never know how much of it was actually true). Brutal, gritty, raw. Good watch.
Decent, although a bit too long. Has some extremely good moments shot in the music video convention (school scene/party scene), that I've watched a couple of times over again later on.
Loved the realism in the telling of their relationship. The ups and downs, the love, the lust, the sadness, the despair. Perhaps too graphical and too explicit when it comes to the sex scenes, but I won't be complaining too much about that.
Excellent! Really loved the charismatic protagonist (Franck Adrien played by Albert Dupontel). And even though he had near-Superman qualities, it was still believable.
Just OK. Not that really engaging, if not boring at times. The story just did not have too many exciting moments, who knows, maybe because most of it was facts?
A beautiful account of the 20 years of Cosa Nostra in Italy told throught the love affair going on for the same time. Really great movie about the sad state of Italy at that time.
Very decent indeed. Caught me by surprise, to be honest. I cringed the first 30 minutes (why do they have to sing so damn much?), yawn with boredom in the next 30 and got really hooked in the second half. And the ending did it for me... oh boy.
It might be that this indeed is truly a masterpiece. I am not able to say that. Perhaps in 30 years, when I watch it again and be smarter and more knowledgeable I'll be able to appreciate it more. I've missed way too many jokes and hidden meanings. Perhaps knowing more of Italian art, literature and culture would also help. It's still a great movie, it's just a shame I was not able to enjoy it fully.
Very good French biopic about taking down the infamous drug cartel The French Connection. I had no idea they were killing high officials in France just as they did in Italy.
Wow... This is a movie which is very similar to both Argo and Zero Dark Thirty but it's different in a way that it tells exactly why the "rebels" captured the military personnel. And you know the rebels were right, their fight was justified and they were treated very unfair.
Has its charm, that I can't dispute, but lacks a captivating story. It's beautifully drawn, no doubt about it, but did not manage to capture my attention enough.
Even worse than the first part (and worse, despite the high imdb rating). So I was very disappointed. Much too kiddie, not really engaging story, weak dialogs, just poor.
True story of the Krzysztof Olewnik's kidnap and murder. It's really scary to be living in such a lawless country with corruption from local police, to prosecutors to high level politicians. Really felt the helplessness of Olewnik's family when virtually everyone gave them the finger and just did not care. It's the movie that makes you really angry that even the ppl in highest power in this country cannot now (10 years later, when media finally made this case a big deal that it is) find the real culprits behind this awful crime.
Good, quite good. I really dig the ending of this season, though I have some gripes about its beginning. It's been a while since I saw season 2, so I had quite clueless as to the whole intrigue, which made me enjoy it less than I should.
Awesome. Pure excellence. I could identify with the main character almost 100 per cent as I'm also a photographer/reporter (sometimes, at least) (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
It's a beautiful movie. Certainly one of the best in the last decade (of those that I had seen). Although I can't help but notice some subtle Japanese propaganda placed in there. You were the aggressor, Japan, please remember that. You started this war.
Surprisingly good! Maybe even great. Works basically as a Mission Impossible/James Bond type of movies spoof. This works especially well for Tom Cruise, where he is playing the same "hero" as in MI. Only this time he's winking at us suggesting that it's all just for laughs. And you laugh, oh yes you do. Very.
One hell of a story and a great cinematographic experience. Loved every bit of it. "If you think I'm good, wait till you see my sister" is a Venus quote I have imprinted in my mind. While not used directly in the movie, it still is so so true.
OK, but it was a little bit over-the-top. Unbelievable in other words. She should have rebelled much, much sooner. But since this was a South Korean movie, it was still enjoyable.
"America isn't a country. It's a business." is the best line from the movie. A movie not unlike many other crime movies. A movie you'll either like or hate completely. I liked it.
Very decent action flick. I was really surprised to see it was based on real events, but as such, it was not concluded in the usual Hollywood style, i.e. we don't really know what has happened with the main characters after the end of the movie.
Great anime! Who knows, maybe it's even better than the first part. So vintage, yet so good. Although I must say that the political intrigue was not completely clear.
Great vintage/cult anime by the anime-master himself (Mamoru Oshii). Feeling really sad that I prolonged watching this for so many years! Was it a decade already? Sure it's full of computer-related quirks/anachronisms but the storyline is great nonetheless.
Fuck. I really hate watching movies about exploitation and direct, brutal injustice against the weakest. Really hate. Especially when they end in deaths of the innocent...
It's not a brilliant masterpiece like some other Ghibli's works (especially those directed by Miyazaki), but it's still a decent, typical anime coming out of this studio.
Decent but I could not identify with the main character (I found his actions to be completely irrational/absurd), so it was not as much enjoyable as it could be (loved the scenery, cinematography, dialogs, acting, it's just the story was too improbable).
Piss-poor. Barely funny and only momentarily. Gregg Araki, what are you doing? Don't waste your talent! Get your sh*t together and write/direct something decent again. Pretty please?
Same story told again in a little bit different scenery. I loved the original (one of my all-time favourites). This one's not so great. Still, good watch.
TV movie which can easily compete with normal made for theatrical screenings productions. Likeable characters, involving story, good music. Nothing more I'd want, apart from maybe a bigger budget (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
Uhm, no. I'll give it a strong 4 for trying to be different than all other gay/coming out movies. Bear Cub still holds the trophy for the best gay movie, followed closely by Brokeback Mountain.
Very good and very serious samurai movie. Although Takashi Miike wouldn't be who he is if he hadn't included a funny character as one of the assassins (although that apparently had a deeper meaning).
Ah, what a waste! It had potential, it got me going, but oh boy how utterly stupid it is. Exceptionally poor storytelling, lots of logical errors and simplistic (mostly stupid) characters. It's still a good terror show-off, that is enjoyable to watch if you are able to close your eyes on the shortcomings.
That was one awesome piece of cinema. I was literally screaming out of joy seeing the beauty of the created universe. It was gorgeous. One of the best if not the best drawn Sci-Fi universe ever. Sure, the story was cheesy, the characters underdeveloped and full of way too many cliches but oh boy did I enjoy it!
Extremely good. Sometimes just too good, too smart, too intelligent, too everything. Yet other times just perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Just that.
Wow! I really really liked it! Sure the whole concept of "gods" was flawed (they could have their way however they wanted), but it did not ruin the movie. You just need to play along.
Not even half as bad as other people describe it. Sure, it's no Social Network, but it's quite good! I had a really great time and enjoyed it throughout!
Great movie about a great man doing great sushi. Makes me wanna go there and eat it. Although 30,000 yen (about 380$) starting price for dinner stops me from actually going there.
Very good albeit a little bit complicated. Although ain't all Mamoru Oshii's stories like that? Terrific ending (despite being depressing a little bit).
Only good. Too many cringe worthy scenes. Our hero at first was too stupid/too foolish and in the end a saint. And the prostitutes, yeah, they had to be completely stupid. Too much pathos. But it had a decent ending.
Very important movie for Polish hip-hop, showing the story of one of the most famous lead rappers of all time in Poland. Really well made (as far as Polish movies are concerned).
It's 2009 and a 1996 movie still got me going. It's still one of the best movies of all times, for me. Top 5. Easily. Still made me cry. American Dream all the way. Yes, it had me at the hello.
Decent "feelgood" US suburban drama/comedy. Not really revealing, the story drags on at some points (even though it's only 86 minutes), but it's watchable.
It's been a while since the last time I've seen a French movie. Nothing changed, though. French are still weird people with strange problems that I could not, for the love of God, relate to. Despite trying very hard. I just could not.
Excellent, but also very difficult drama. Kids do lie. All of them. Often. That's the only gripe I had, but it made the script easier/more dramatic, so I'm ok with that.
Excellent political thriller based mostly on facts. Loved how they explained the reasons behind Kukliński's spying for the US. Had a great time watching it!
Excellent! Had a really great time watching it. Despite the story being pretty naive... And Jack Reacher had some really superpower-like abilities (i.e. especially coming to right conclusions based only on some vague clues).
Good biopic. Can't really say a single bad thing about it, it was a good history lesson. Engaging, etc. Just that Clint Eastwood is so much, much better at fiction!
A directional debut from Xavier Dolan. I think this movie has really jump-started his career. In 2016 it's not that great, but it's an interesting movie nonetheless.
Few good laughs, I'll give it that, but not much more. Weak plot, forced laughs and turning points in the story. Incoherent, rushed, unpolished. Oh, and low budget. And you could see that...
Wow, I really feel I'm getting too old for this kind of movies. It was so absurd, so incredibly stupid, I literally cringed. Humour was the only one thing that saved it. And only partially. It would have been so much better as anime.
It's an intriguing series. Very meta. Meta meta even. It is probably too long, and leaves some subplots unfinished. But that's movie life, I guess? Also, now I really want to see Kingdom Come with Alicia Vikander (or rather Mira Harberg) playing Meredith. Will someone make that happen?
Yeah, ok... Placing Mike Tyson in here and actually making him fight Ip Man was ridiculous. Interesting, but really, ridiculous. The overall story is very so-so as well.
The story is played 100% by the book. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happens, yet it has grasped my heart (just like most of the other sport movies).
It's not even mediocre, it's just bad. It has kite surfing as the main theme, though, which makes all the difference.
If you skip a lot of lousy dialogues, it is quite enjoyable.
Excellent! Simple story told in a very engaging way, even though not that much happen. The only gripe is that it's not based on real events. I suppose you cannot have it all.
Great round-up of the reasons that brought the financial crisis of 2008. Not that much new here (if you've covered as it unfolded), but it was quite funny, for example, to find out that after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy their London offices had to be abruptly closed, without any prior notification (without the ability to make any transactions). I also loved how they made assholes out of all those Harvard professors, economics experts, CEOs, etc. Die, fuckers! And, of course, I cringe to see Obama putting in the financial administration the very same people who are regarded as "architects" of the crisis and in consequence they do nothing to fix the causes of the crisis or hold at least some people/institutions accountable for all this mess. In other words - a well deserved Oscar for the Best Documentary Feature.
After few years I have finally plucked up the courage to watch this. And boy, oh was I disappointed. Three hours of almost complete nonsense. It seems I'm not cut out for that kind of mind bending movies. Apparently there is some sense in it (see imdb FAQ), but I did not see it.
Gripping/poignant/moving story. Could such story really took place? I don't see why, I've seen many true stories (this one's not) just as much complicated as this one. A really rewarding watch.
Sure, it's really, really stupid. There are so many loopholes and things plainly stupid, that it made me cringe at least a dozen times. Yet it somehow manages to capture my full attention in following the action. And sure, it's modern Bonny & Clide, but it's still good! And very much enjoyable.
Very powerful. Very uneasy at times, but that was expected. Important although by no means revealing, there were many similar (and also true) stories already told/made on the screen.
Hilarious. Bordering insanity, then crossing it, then coming back. Completely boring in the first 50 minutes, then suddenly takes off and keeps you on your toes till the very (ambiguous) end. And extremely funny too.
Definitely the best out of the Pasolini's Trilogy of (Sex) Life. I kind of wish the stories were more 'complete' instead of being cut out in the middle.
Visually stunning. Storyline could be perhaps more clear as I do not know too much about Italian history of politics, but I wasn't the target of this movie. Corruption, killing, mafia connections and lust for power. Yep. That's what this movie has shown.
Very good. Starts rather banal, but goes deeper and more insightful with every scene. Ask all the right questions, doesn't always give straight answers.
Sex tales from the middle ages. Great vision of hell (in the end). Other than that, you must be accustomed more to this kind of cinema to enjoy it properly. Unfortunately, I'm not.
Dull, stupid, cliche, cheesy. All that. But it's made in USA so it's as easy-watching as can be. And it's as much engaging as it can be - so there's not really any stopping for boring moments. But overall it's pretty mediocre.
Excellent! Difficult movie asking the right questions about what it is to be human, a man to be precise. Do we always need to seek revenge? Is vengeance a part of our DNA? Or maybe we can have a "better world" if we can try to eliminate it.
Ah, the Korean action movies. Can you be not so much fucked up, story wise? It was kind of a good watch, but the characters and the story were way over the top.
Very decent, although not as great as it could be. Main character was shot, cut, fell from few stories down yet he was still superhero. It kind of ruined it a little bit. Although I found the story quite involving and loved how the events unfolded.
What a let down. 11 Oscar nominations, imdb top250 #200. This has got to be a really exceptional movie. Except it's not. Sure, story is OK, but it's really dragging on... oh and the kids. Pretentious smart asses, better than everyone and solving problems of the adults. Really hate those kind of movies... And sure, it did not help that I knew nothing about Georges Méliès (excuse my ignorance if you can...). Sure, cinematography is good, but there's really too much CGI. It's beautiful, but I kind of wish it was more "real" feel to it. CGI just feels artificial.
It's not as bad as imdb ratings would have you believe. The intrigue is interesting, only the grand finale leaves a lot to be desired. That was a great show, with the second season finale being the highlight of the whole run.
Still decent, though at this point it starts to fell like a very long sitcom, with the same characters going over the same intrigues time and time again.
"Everything in life is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power." Talk about a powerful quote to sum up the show, or rather its first season. A very good one, an exceptional one, the show is great. The only gripe I have is with some of the subplots being too forced, some people being too trusting, Frank going to too many extremes, etc.
Barely good, bordering on being quite bad. Yes, there are few funny scenes here and there, there are few nice plot twists, but overall it's just too stupid.
Beautiful and poignant story of Jan Palach, a symbol of fight against the communist oppression. It makes you really angry to see what Russia and their totalitarian oppression of the Eastern European countries in the communism era did to the citizens of countries like the Czech Republic (or my own, Poland).
Surprisingly, you can make a movie which is basically about a different scene in another movie. And even more surprisingly, you can make this movie pretty good!
1989 revolution in Romania through the eyes of a militia soldier who abandons his patrolling mission. Very moving tragedy (Romanian Cinema Review '06).
Even though it's a simple, even naive story and a completely unrealistic one at that (afterlie? C'mon, it's been done many times over) it was still extremely good. But it's no surprise as it had Clint Eastwood - the master - as a director. I simply love his works - to me he's one of the best there are. Don't stop directing, you're just so good at it!
Surprisingly good! I've always been a big Keanu Reeves fan and this is another role where he simply does not disappoint. Enjoyable story, intriguing main character and quite a lot of funny moments.
Hellriser aka the mother of all B-class horror movies. Cheesy acting, cheesy music, cheesy effects. The only cool thing was the main hell dude from the poster.
Surprisingly good! Especially when you look at the imdb rating. The only thing I didn't like was the main girl taking a beating in the face. Not cool. But story, pace, dialogs, all were good for an action flick.
First episode: Wow! That is some great story and acting! I want more! Second episode: Hmm... ok, this got dull a little bit. Uh, there's one absurdity going after another. Oh, and those pauses and tension building every 20 minutes or so... ugh. Third episode: absurdity and stupidity reached level never seen before. I cringed and cringed. Ugh. Just so-so overall.
I have to admit that this is probably the best one in the series, but this also means that it's only a half-decent flick. Now what the fuck is that Harry Potter is literally killed, goes to heaven/purgatory, meets his mentor and comes back to Earth? Really, it would make much, much more sense to end it like Matrix. Oh, I suppose that was a spoiler. Sorry.
Quite bad. It has some good moments, but the overall story and characters are terrible. It's like they can teleport anywhere and any time they want, just not when it's most needed (for whatever reason, sometimes none). Oh, and Hermione making out with Ron instead of Harry? Wtf is with that? I suppose I didn't get the memo that in this series, the main protagonist does not get the best girl.
Too simplistic/too long/too much music/too much dancing. Boring... Oscar for that? C'mon! The only good thing about this movie was the CGI, which was really top-notch and has set the new standards for the whole industry.
Season 3 delivered, that much is true. The Great Red Dragon story was dark, scary, strong. Loved the ending, or rather the post end credits scene, too.
Excellent Bourne-like (definitely not Bond-like) flick with teenage female in the lead. Oh, what a treat it was! Also *loved* the hypnotic music - kind of reminded me of Nobel Son.
Much, much too idealistic - I almost wished somebody died (until someone actually did!) - but it has struck just the right chords to move me very deeply. And so it was that I've shed a tear or two... (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
The reviews are mixed about the interpretation of this movie, but I have no doubts that it was intended to be a pastiche. A caricature of the Catholic Church's leadership. Elected pope not able to stand up to the task, ridiculous cardinals playing volley-ball tournament, hiring "the best" psychoanalytic to "fix" the pope. Had really good laughs throughout the movie.
Supposedly the biggest Taiwanese movie. Like ever. Well, I guess it was ok. Very messy at the beginning, I've almost stopped watching. Only after reading the review on imdb (telling me not to care about the beginning) I resumed playing. Overally it's just a love story, that is way too long and way too complicated (too many subplots...). And yes, I did not quite catch most of it.
As is usually the case with such combined series, there are some good and some bad apples. "The Viewing" is brilliant. "The Autopsy" is great. The rest is just ok.
The story evolves very slowly, but with each passing minute it gets more and more hard-core. Add to that a very abrupt ending and you have this movie defined. Very Russian.
Great underdog story. Stereotypical, yet still very good (as is usually the story...). The documentary bits in the end gave this movie a whole different dimension.
Oh, so terrible. Yes, there are few quite funny moments, but the overall intrigue, plot, dialogs were sub-par. But what could you expect at $200 mil but a total crap?
Brilliant, but a little bit too smart for me. Unfortunately I did not fully get the "satire" part and was somewhat dissapointed with the unrewarding ending. But apparrently that's how it's supposed to be! Still a very rewarding experience.
Decent enough to keep me engaged. Certainly better than the first season. Still has some stupidness and very questionable motives by some of the characters, both of which degrade my watching experience.
I'm not sure what to think of it. First of all, it was way too long. And second, way too confusing. I've read imdb forums, even watched some "explanatory video" only to discover that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Weird, ambiguous movie.
Good, not great. Somewhat messy story with lots of subplots, that do not bring much to the main storyline and in consequence make you loose your focus.
So many loop holes it made me cringe. Excellent premises despite being hardly original wasted by a dull and completely nonsense second half of the movie. Just so stupid...
This is certainly better than the Arise: Border mini-series it follow. Slower, with better story. But still so damn complex it is nearly impossible to fully grasp the sense of it.
Decent watch. It strays a lot from the original anime (which I am a huge fan of; watched it probably 6 or 7 times back in the day), but it can stand on its own. It looses the psychological bits, simplifies the story a lot, but makes it up in visuals. The new story can stand on its own too.
Watchable. Nothing ground-breaking and it makes you want to question the reality of certain things, but guess that's what had to be done to create "action".
Brilliant. This one was simply brilliant. I had such great laughs, just wow. And it builds up so slowly, but with every scene something else just doesn't feel right. Ah, what a treat!
Excellent topic. So controversial, so many hypothesizes as to the real reason of Sikorski's death. Piss poor quality, as is usual for Polish productions, fortunately it did not have too big of an impact on the movie.
Must-see for anyone who has even a slight interest in shale gas extraction (using a process known as hydraulic fracturing or just fracking). I really felt sorry for all those people who have to live now with contaminated water in their area and natural gas coming out together with of their taps (aka flammable water). It's even more scary to me, as big corporations and the government in Poland is trying to force hydrofracking on us (first by a massive media campaign).
Very, very so-so. Below mediocre direction, crappy dialogs and not that ambitious storyline make for a movie that you watch, but it does not keep you on your toes.
Awesome series, no doubt about it. Perhaps rushed a little bit too much those last two seasons. I like how the story panned out, love what Jon did and how hard it was for him. Perhaps a little bit disappointed with the lack of wow factor in the very end.
Ah, good old Game of Thrones. It was great. It really was. Apart from a lot of weak sub-plots and over-the-top dialogues. Felt like Martin was rushed to come up with a plot, which would move things forward in a very fast manner, without much thinking about the logic behind it all. Still an awesome watch.
Wow, just wow. It felt like there was so much more happening in the last two episodes of this season than in the three previous seasons combined. Awesome series.
Game of Thrones does not fail to impress. It's a very solid series that keeps me on my toes for the whole time. What irritates me, though, is the fact that it never ends. Some heroes are killed, but the story goes on and it will go on for many more years (decades)... No grand finale whatsoever. This is not something I like.
Definitely not disappointing. Quite the contrary. The only real downside of this series is that they should have killed Joffrey already. I cannot stand him.
Very decent, unfortunately it's a series, so there are many things I didn't like (certain characters, some cringe-worthy scenes), but overall it's a good experience and I'm eagerly awaiting the next season.
Excellent and a very tragic story of Sarah Pallin's vice president race of 2008. It's really sad to see what has become of politics nowadays. And how people so uneducated/uninformed like her can gain so much support/praise.
Overall impression is so-so. Kinda dragged on, wasn't that funny any more. But then came the final episode and I was laughing my ass off. It was so worth waiting for it.
Decent docu about the rise of e-sports. In the past, I've played Quake competitively (even won some prices at tournaments), so I could relate closely to the characters. Apart from the story, I'm really happy e-sports are taking off, with >$1M in prices.
Guillermo del Torro envy. Yes, definitely. Still, stands on its own quite nicely. It's not exactly at the Jeeg Robot level (which was wonderful), but it's a great movie.
It's been 7 years to late for me to watch this movie, but it was good trip down the memory lane. The doc itself is not that good, but its content is very close to my heart (I was playing videogames "almost" professionally - winning at some local tournaments - at times of celebrities like Thresh or Fatal1ty).
First Hollywood movie after 11 days of watching international/non-commercial cinema during the Era Nowe Horyzonty Film Festival. Whoa, so great! I LOVE good USA made movies.
This is not a good show, and certainly doesn't give the books their justice. Some plots are just stupid, relying on magic gimmicks to push the story forward. But some characters (Empire Day, Demerzel), and other plots (AI, power struggle) are just perfect.
The Foundation books were my all time favorites for a very, very long time. When I read them as a teenager they shaped my interest in everything Sci-Fi, which stayed with me till this very day. The show doesn't disappoint. On the contrary, it's magnificent. Loved every single bit of it. Can't wait for the second season.
This was quite great. Without liking any picture which has singing in it, I am astonished at how much I liked it. Sam Rockwell was amazing. Great story, great duo, great legacy.
It's the same crew that did those other mockumentaries. The Guest crew. And this one's just the same as the others. Few funny moments, but overall it's not that good.
Wow, so surprised where this show took me this season. Just wow. It still all bonkers, no consequences, could have just steered it back to Earth at any point in time nonsense, but... it was enjoyable. Very much so.
Decent, quite decent. Unfortunately there are many boring and cringe worthy subplots that one might just skip over (fast forward 5 seconds, oh another 5, and so on). However the last two episodes were brilliant, and they make up for all the rest.
Decent, decent, although a little bit surprised to see Zemeckis doing a movie about alcohol addiction. The ending is flawed (it's too great/cliche), but it's a worthwhile watch.
Don't think you can get any more British than this show. I've had a lot of reservations when coming into this. I rejected it for being too... too everything. And it is like this, but it's also extremely hilarious and quite charming.
Okeyish. It did ask one very important question, though. Why isn't the Catholic Church taking a stance on the Global Warming? It would help the whole world greatly if the Church advocated carbon emissions reduction.
Decent-ish. It's got potential, but somewhat falls short. And the sudden change to "everything is normal again just without humans" was hardly believable.
Much too complicated and way too many characters. But I guess that's the way with FF. Played game, once upon a time. Even the 7th, I think. For a little while. Now as the movie goes - stunning visuals and confusing plot. Oh well... ['2009 version].
Stupid, stupid, stupid up to a point of being ridiculous (good luck hauling the safe using race car(s)). I really have no idea why It has so big imdb rating. I mean it's a good watch - the action sequences are decent - but it insults my intelligence too much.
Decent, decent. Now in 2024 it feels slightly dated with lots of plot holes and story imperfections. Still, a fun and an enjoyable ride. Just perhaps too absurd.
Star Wars. It's more than a movie. It's more than life. I still remeber the first Star Wars Episode I trailer. I've watched it way more than a hundred times.
Decent, I'll give it that. I especially liked how it doesn't take itself too seriously. Is it great? Not really. But a good watch nonetheless. The Last of Us it ain't.
Excellent picture describing what you can do with too much power. What is really saddening is that it is all true. Lives were destroyed, some people could even have been killed and the people responsible for that were not brought to trial. This just shows the shortcomings of democracy and how corrupt it has become (in the USA, but I can say the very same things about the state of matters here in Poland).
It's an ok mini-series. As a series, it is watchable. Has some good moments, and some bad ones. But that's not the point. It's a political movie, or rather a political statement. One I agree with. We are doomed. Of course those presented extrapolations are somewhat exaggerated (geo-engineering will not cause that much damage; will be small scale at first; I don't think we'll need oxygen masks; we will deal with pollution, only CO2/warming will be a problem), which is why people dislike it, I guess. But lots of those things will happen.
So-so, but more ok than not ok. Little like Cube, but failed to really surprise me. This whole recruitment concept, and the virus, it all seemed too artificial and too improbable.
Decent, quite decent. I cannot help myself but compare it to another Sci-Fi "meta" flick, The Matrix Resurrections. This one's way funnier. It drags on a little bit too much in the last 30 minutes or so, but still offers a rewarding experience. The first part is superb.
Much too ambiguous as for my taste. Too artistic, although I must admit that the first half was quite good. It's the second half and the ending, with its symbolism, that got me bored.
Surprisingly good. It has a fair amount of stupidity, childlikeness, cheesy dialogs and weak points in the story, but when you watch it, it trigger just the right emotions.
Experimental European cinema as practiced by Gaspar Noe. This is just what you could expect out of him. It bares some resemblance to his Irreversible, although not that high. It's good, not great.
Just as with every other French movie you couldn't identify yourself with any of the characters. They were simply unlikeable. Plain story didn't help either (ENH2007).
Wow... It is almost mind-blowing how great prelude to the economic crisis of 2008 this movie, or more properly, the Enron scam, is. Lawyers, account firms, investment banks, they were all guilty and they all took *lots* of money to "turn the blind eye". Corporate capitalism it is called. Lets create laws that will make us 1B $ but at the same time the state of California had lost 30B $. "It doesn't matter". Really, Die, fuckers!.
I suppose it was greatly simplified compared to the book I haven't read, as the story did not make too much sense at times. It still is an enjoyable watch.
There's something magical about movies bordering fantasy and the real world. Stardust was a perfect pioneer, which set standards quite high. Enchanted is here to follow its footsteps. Apart from the flawed King-kong reference it is a great take on this theme and a truly magic ride.
Very good! Sure the story is all cliche (ex-con trying to leave his past behind him), but it's told in a very nice way (no big drama, just normal life). And surely it's mostly because of excellent performance by Stellan Skarsgård.
It's a pretty terrible and stupid story that is filmed in a way that makes your jaw drop. It's an amazingly stupid movie, yet breathtakingly beautiful at the same time.
Very poignant drama with excellent lead by Kristin Scott Thomas. And even though the story is fictional, it is based on real events that has happened in Paris in 1942. I've cried just a little bit in the end too.
Decent enough. Some episodes are awesome, but most are just ok. There's some wasted potential in here as well. Great cast, but special effects were rather mediocre.
Come find me when you wake up!. Just OMFG. It was awesome beyond my wildest expectations. And this scene was the best action turning point in like... a decade. The only flaw is with the ending. But I understand why it had to be like that. It's best to just think the last scene did not take place. Otherwise - just perfect.
So unbelievably stupid, it's beyond belief. So many loopholes, yeah, this whole movie is one gigantic loophole. On the good side it was quite fast-paced, despite clocking on nearly two hours. Still... Anyway, a 6.8 on imdb for this? You've got to be kidding me.
Wow. A movie of epic proportions with mesmerizing music and jaw dropping visuals. I just wish so much it had been all shot and presented as a mini-series instead of two (hopefully?) movies separated by two whole years...
Quite stupid, if you ask me, but it also has some extremely funny scenes (like the rescue). And I simply love Zach Galifianakis! Very, very entertaining.
Wow, what a complete crap! So stupid it's beyond belief. The most ridiculous thing was Dredd talking to his weapon to see if he has any more amunition (or to change to a different type of ammo). That is surely efficient! Bleh.
There is something magic about Hollywood movies about US sports. This one's no different. Flawed, sure, with a little bit of too much personal stuff going on, but also extremely engaging and quite satisfying.
Surprising good! Especially considering the low imdb ratings. Well made, intelligent, with obvious omissions (insects/pest in general), which I feel were intentional. Some great laughs throughout.
Mixed feelings. It's a really good action movie, just the story was not up to par. In crime, in police, statistics is *everything*. So while I agree that the general procurator went too far it does not really justify all the killing done directly and indirectly by the main character - namely the "good cop".
Felt like a very long (too long?) psychotherapeutic session for/with the main characters. I think it wasn't a movie for me. Or maybe I just didn't fully get it?
Purdue Pharma fuckers. And the corrupt US justice system where corrupt politicians, paid by corrupt companies, to stop prosecutors from prosecuting. This is wrong on so many levels...
It was a very important movie for South Korea, which was the main reason a couple of new laws were passed there. It also shows how fucked up country South Korea really is, when it comes to laws and cultural acceptance when dealing with sexual abuse of disabled children. Punishment for such crimes? Pay cut. Or public work. The movie shows how middle aged South Korea really is. With corrupted lawyers, prosecutors, policemen, judges, social service workers. I could not believe it, until I read more about it. The movie is unbearable at times because of this absurdity. This makes it harder to rate it, because I had to skip some parts as I could not bare to watch them.
That was quite crappy. Unfortunately as it had good potential. Too bad the movie made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Just plainly stupid. Just one highlight really - Why does everyone thinks I will not shoot?.
Stupid? Sure! Just like every other American movie. Entertaining? Hell yea! Just like every other American movie. And I just love that YouTube is mentioned!
Very difficult and uncomfortable, even to the point of being unpleasant to watch. Not to mention that I was expecting a political drama, not family tragedies. As usual, someposts on imdb board were very helpful in understanding better the ending and the motives of both main character and his daughter.
Love, love movies about power. 'specially about abusing it. This one's great, except for a little flawed ending. S'pose it could not have been different.
Same story, same cultures, same countries. It's been told many times over before. Still, this one is quite good. Uneven in the end, this is my only gripe.
There is something about those Chinese Fantasy movies that I keep coming back to them. Sure they make their protagonists act like superheroes with supernatural powers and insight, which takes away some of the charm from them. But it's still a decent watch.
Excellent. First few episodes were rather boring, but just after the fifth or so the pace dramatically changed and it was a thrill ride till the very end. Dexter, you're the perfect addiction.
Dexter, you're like an addiction. The worst of all. Just a couple of days it took me to swim through the first 12 episodes. Yeah, it's true, you just can't stop. And each one is better than the previous one. Now what I need is a little break, as to not feed my addiction too much.
Wow... This was an excellent portrait of a teacher with a past. Detached from emotions, avoiding more meaningful relationships. It's also a great depiction of how easy it is to damage a kid by a parent.
Great high-budged entry into the CGI world from a company outside of Pixar/Dreamworks. And what an entry it is! Simply put: marvelous and funny as hell. I was laughing basically all way long. I also loved how it sometimes crossed the line between a movie for kids and a movie for aduls (meaning there were some scenes, which are not really that appropriate for children). I wish it would at least be nominated for Oscar.
Decent, even despite being awfully slow, but add to that, that this is indeed a story, which has really happened and you get quite an excellent movie. But, unfortunately, still slow, way too slow. But that's how it's supposed to be among monks.
A little bit boring and quiet, yes, but that's what the main character was really like. Not much talkative, without any friends and family, without keeping contacts with his relatives. 100% concentrated and focused on his training. A real PRO. I actually believe that half the motivation behind the bank robberies was that this was a part of his training. So I quite enjoyed it.
Just ok. Went a little bit over the top in portraying "bad" characters (zero respect for other humans; treating everyone like shit and swearing at everyone) - main character was hardly likable. It's still a decent story.
Excellent! While I did not have so much fun I had hoped with the last few Tim Burton's movies, this one disappoints only a little bit - notable with the messy and unsatisfying ending. But the story, the humor - it's all good!
One of the best if not the best Bollywood movie. Ever. Great story, highly emotional movie. Simple, sometimes stupid, as all Bollywood movies are, yet still charming.
Surprisingly good. I especially liked the social aspect and the depiction of racism, particularly in the police force. Though it's still a very dark series, not for the faint of heart.
Wow, what a story! That is one hell of a terrific movie. Had a really great time watching it. It kept me on my toes from the beginning till the very end.
Half drama with other half being a document of the Solidarity movement and strikes in Gdańsk shipyard. Man of Marble was an exceptional movie. Man of Iron is not. It's just good. Although it captures Gdańsk of 1980 exceptionally well.
Arguably the most important Polish movie of the 70s. Mateusz Birkut, my hero. "Ale to jest nasz kraj" / "But this is our country" left me speechless (or swearing).
Awesome, independent Polish Sci-fi movie. First one (I think?) since the semi-Polish Oshii's Avalon (and Szulkin's works from back in the day). Congrats to the garage, self-taught director Bodo Kox for making it into the big league. You deserve it! Can't wait for what's coming next.
Polish country-side. Nothing less, nothing more. Maybe even nothing new, but that might be too much. It's been a long time since I've seen so engaging Polish documentary.
Wonderful! I was literally screaming with joy while watching this. I was rooting both for Jacob as well as for Cal. Pleasant characters, intelligent dialogs and not-insulting but omnipresent humor is a winning combination.
Simply put: great! Sure it's an old and told many times over story, but Jeff Bridges' perfomance just stole this movie. And the music is great, especially the title song.
I really, really enjoyed it. Surprisingly and despite many reviews dissing it. But I love Sci-Fi, Western and Daniel Craig. Sure it's predictable and full of useless pathos and show-off heroism (and don't forget the little kid, who turns out a hero as well), but it's another Hollywood super-production, so that's expected.
It was good. Not great, as one could hope with such an original concept. There were too many simplifications, too many weird coincidences just to move the action forward.
Excellent! Even more than that. Multi-layered, personal, ambiguous love-story. Great dialugue, great acting both by Binoche and Shimell. Perfect little gem.
Just ok. Too complicated action -- there were too many thing going wrong, too many characters, too many pointless turnarounds (the whole Sebastian "thing" was completely unnecessary imo). But it's an action flick that still keeps you anticipating.
Very good! And also very real as to what might happen when there's a deadly disease outbreak. Humans turning to their basic instincts does not make an easy watch.
A truly epic movie. Loved it from start to end. Definitely requires a second watching as I'm sure I've missed at least a dozen meanings of different stories.
Despite being a very good movie, I felt disconnected from the story. I couldn't share his feelings. Was it because it is a French movie or because of my empathy level being too low?
Great doc. Snowden is a hero of our times. The true whistleblower. And also an account of the dark times we live in, where basic freedoms are being taken away from us. And heroes are prosecuted. No privacy == no personal freedom == no freedom of speech == no civil liberties == the worst dream out of 1984 .
So-so. I don't know why, but it failed to capture my attention. It was dragging on at the beginning for so long that I've completely lost interest in it and started doing something else simultaneously. The story was good, just the pace of it was way too slow.
Great war epic. Could be a true masterpiece if only there were more war and less personal affairs. And maybe just a little bit less CGI. Great war epic, nonetheless.
Just what the fuck? The moment the movie was really rolling it has simply ended. Had I known that before I would wait for the second part... Damn. Still, amazing.
Yeah, ok. If it only wasn't so stupid when it comes to AI/technology, oh, and dialogs. Total crap, if you ask me. It's still very much enjoyable (apart from the frequent "omg what a stupidity").
It's OK. And it says quite a lot about this Bollywood flick. The main gripe about it is that its pure fiction, whereas Hollywood movies about the proverbial underdog in sports are mostly based on facts. Other than that it's your typical Bollywood movie.
Surprisingly good! You might actually call it a gem among all other crappy comedies coming out of the Hollywood lately. It did not insult my intelligence, which only happens rarely. And it did so even having included few "fart" jokes. Simply put - loved it.
It was almost a documentary, depicting the life of a very famous gangster/terrorist - Carlos The Jackal. I loved how he was cooperating with Saddam Hussein, KGB chief, Stasi and other numerous organizations. It was a little eye-opening that certain countries (East Germany, Hungary, Syria, Sudan) gave him asylum, providing with money, shelter and military security. I believe the same can be said now about Osama bin Laden, I'm certain some government somewhere is aiding him. Now as far as the movie goes, it's a little uneasy to watch, as there are lots of people, lots of places and hardly any plot connecting it all (apart, of course, from the main character - Carlos).
it lacks a standard plot scheme. I've watched the 165 min version. And it felt a little bit too long, dragging on sometimes. I cannot even image how the 550 min version could be. It's a good watch, nonetheless, as it accurately portrays modern forms of terrorism.
Decent Swiss take on Matrix. Sure it's full of flaws and plot holes, but since I'm a sucker for all Sci-Fi movies I had no real problems in overlooking them, focusing on what's best in there. And I surely was not disappointed.
Very so-so. Those latest super-budget superhero movies are really really lame. Only Thor was nice and only because of good humor (story was still so-so). And the 2nd part spoiler was the worst.
Ugh. It's probably the 10th or so "superheroes" movie that I had watched since saying "I won't watch any other superhero movie from now on". I skip some of the really crappy ones (Spider-Man, Transformers, blah blah not a superhero movie, but hey okey), but I don't skip those advertised as being good. This one good is not. Oh no. It's pretty terrible and senseless all the way through. It's saved by two awesome punchlines ("- I'm Steve. -I don't care" and "Manchurian Candidate"), but only partially. It's still a really, really bad movie. Enjoyable, but bad bad bad.
Highly opinionated, highly subjective, highly manipulative and highly skew towards one option. Just your another typical Michael Moore movie. Some things he got right, others not quite.
Another Woody Allen. What can I say, other than the fact that I liked it. Just like any other Woody Allen's movie. This one's not an exceptionally good one, but it's still worth your while.
Very good. Breaking, destroying, not listening to anyone and then lying, cheating, coming up with excuses every time. In other words, your almost "usual" childhood.
Very good. It is really surprising how fucked up South Korea was with its military (almost) dictatorship in the 80s. And how corrupted it still is (reading wikipedia about him helps).
Koreans can't make Zombie movies. Sorry. Way over the top. Way too many cringe worthy characters, dialogs and scenes. It's watchable, but cannot compare with any US-made zombie flick.
Great. Yet as a kid's movie it was so wrong on so many levels... atheist's vs Christian argument, dealing with a loss of a loved one, it just felt more appropriate for teenagers.
Quite poor if you consider Pixar made it for a whooping $185M. Uninspiring, too simplistic story, unlikeable characters, lots of cringe-worthy scenes. It's watchable, but nothing beyond that.
Hmm. Not sure what to say about this one. It's definitely an art movie, with not that much going on. There is a story, mind you, but it's not going anywhere. It's just some days from the lives of men taking care of bulls.
Decent docu about one of the greatest chess players of all time. I wonder whether if he was brought up nowadays, would he be able to deal with his demons with the help of an army of psychologist?
Exceptionally good. Shows real characters, neither good, neither bad, just normal people with their own problems trying to be together and raise a daughter. Excellent cast/acting. Good music.
I cannot believe how good that was. Awesome story, great animation, the dialogues, the puns. Oh I loved it. The only thing that bothered me was that this was all in English. Would have worked so much better in Japanese!
Great docu about the perils of making wine. In Arizona, on top of that, a state which had never seen vines. And by the Tool leader, Maynard James Keenan. Very inspiring and really engaging. Funny too.
Decent. Some good laughs ("do I look like I have a pencil?"), some action too, but it's same old Statham, who got just a little bit tiring. Fortunately the movie is British, so it's not complete thrash like a Hollywood movie would be (with this script).
Oh my, oh my, this is so good! All the computer game references, all the hacking culture, just loved it. And the hissing! I was rolling in my seat from laughter.
Exceptional. I simply love Darren Aronofsky's works. Who knows what pushed him into the dance genre, but he executed flawlessly. As usual, it's a rather dark story, telling us things about humanity we maybe would like not to know. The obsession of being perfect is no stranger to me. But anyway, Natalie Portman was perfect in her role. Fragile, naive, infantile, completely introverted yet extremely focused. And, of course, beautiful.
Interesting concept, but I guess you have to watch it interactively to really enjoy it. I just watched a prepared version with multiple timelines inside it. Overall it was just a little bit too weird.
You know it's still Black Mirror, just not fully, like it's somewhere else (nod to the first episode). Still a good watch, but it could have been so much better.
So-so. Too many problems raised without giving any real insight into them. Sure you could put the blame on US/EU, and sure, subsidizing food production in general is not good, but the truth lies in the details, which this movie lacks. What are the specific laws and WTO regulations that make coffee price so low for Ethiopians? And what really subsidizing foods in EU/US and coffee price have in common? After all coffee is planted solely in the southern hemisphere...
Decent-ish. Liked he was a little bit in the "grey" in the first half. The second half is more or less "I'm the good guy all the time". Apart from that it's just another mindless superhero movie.
Very depressing movie. No, really. Main character's situation was so bad, that I had trouble watching it. I needed to switch off momentarily not to be too depressed. It's a really beautiful movie, it just gets too deep into you.
Very so-so. Only after reading the imdb forums I was able to comprehend what has really happened in the movie. Way too long/too boring. You have to be extremely careful looking for subtle clues to really understand it.
Enjoyable, although I expected more comedy than drama. And was really surprised in the end finding out it was based on real people and real events! Even half of the cast were real people.
Wow! Incredible story (mostly true!) and awesome execution of it. Every other dialogue could be printed and hanged on the wall. So much drama, so much passion. Tremendously enjoyed it!
Crimes and misdemeanors. Very uneasy movie, almost unbearable to watch. No good heroes. No good deeds.
As a side note - definitely the best opening scene I've seen recently.
May you be in heaven half an hour... before the devil knows you're dead.
Quite bad, but not really much worse than all other US super-blockbusters (think Transformers...). Once you switch your brain off, it starts to be enjoyable.
Very, very mediocre. Absurd story, lausy dialoges that make you cringe and bad acting by most supporting actors playing soldiers. Only the effects were ok.
Uhm, it was just ok. Too quirky and did not really manage to capture my full attention (i.e. I could not identify with the main character fully enough).
Yet another sad story written on the pages of human history. Fifth of the East Timor population killed. Too bad that the film was not good enough to capture my full attention. I found myself reading the wikipedia more than watching the movie.
I was wondering why this movie was so bad and the dialogues so terrible. but during end credits I noticed who had directed this - Patryk Vega - and all was clear. Meh.
Still one of the best movies of all times. Back in the day it was my number 1 movie. I've watched it over 20 times. Now old age is seen clearly, and some situations, characters seem a little bit goofy, but it still has its charm. And it still just as much enjoyable.
What a mess. Nothing makes sense. Every bad movie franchise must resort to time travel when it cannot think of anything smarter. And with that, the story becomes an incoherent mess.
Wow, what a crap! There were maybe two good jokes out there out of hundred thrown my way. Apart from that the story was just plainly stupid. The dialogs cringe worthy. Eh.
Totally absurd. And absurdly brutal - on the verge of being absurdly funny. Just absurd beyond belief. And even though almost everyone has been killed, they're still making a sequel.
Way too exaggerated, although the story is quite believable. The main character too. The rapist too. Only all other characters are drawn with a way too thick pencil. Exaggerated, that's the right word.
OMFG. One of the best Sci-fi movies ever. Denis Villeneuve is now my favourite director of all times. And I have just realized that I had watch almost all of his full-length movies. Starting from Maelstrom, a movie I watched some odd 15 years ago and still remember it and the impact it had on me.
I would give Arrival 11 if I only could.
War. Only this time it's 100 per cent authentic. Like in for real. This means that most of the time nothing happens - we are as much bored as the actual soldiers - but when the action comes, it comes in full.
This one took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting an animated series based off of a game to be that good, both in terms of visuals and the story. Not to mention the dialogues and awesome action sequences. I knew nothing and still don't know much about the League of Legends game itself, but one does not really need to know much to enjoy this series. Highly recommended.
Excellent! Love those financial thriller/dramas. Richard Gere's performance was top-notch, it's like this role has been written especially for him. Loved it.
I seriously need to stop watching this Marvel crap. It's beyond ridiculous now. The only good thing in this movie is the ant/dog joke, which makes me think they were inspired by our own Wardęga's "spider dog".
Decent. Not great, but quite good. While I enjoyed the older happily married couple and their relationships with friends and other family members, the whole movie missed a grand concept. There was hardly any conclusion. Just another year in life.
Excellent! Had a really great time watching the answer to the question of "Who Shakespear really was". Even though it's only a hypothesis, it's a really good one!
Been a long time since a movie had such a strong emotional response in me. I was actually terrified through the second half. Mind you, it was not by those strange animals...
Captivating, almost surreal yet so real at the same time. And so tragic. So surprising. Gangster/mafia movie almost without shooting. Without action. Without chases.
Decent documentary. Sure there is a global warming. Sure it causes global problems. But are human CO2 emissions solely responsible for this? Sorry, but I'm still not convinced.
Certainly not my type of movie. "Art", that's how they're called. Been a while since I've since one of such and it will certainly be a little while till I see the next one.
The concept, the noir detective, the cyberpunk feel, first 8 episodes, all were exceptionally good. Then they were slightly ruined by the absurdity of the main antagonist and the general stupidity of various scenes/dialogues/plots. Still a great show, not far from perfect.
An intimate look into Lyndon Johnson's US presidency and the man himself, someone very hungry for power, but also with the right political agenda, both about civil rights and more social privileges. Great watch.
So-so. Sure, power corrupts and ultimate power currupts ultimately, up to a point your wife commits suicide or you need to kill her. It just did not convince me.
Ah the Japanese with their weird problems, weird behavior and weird movies. Did not really liked it. Some actions by main characters were too absurd to be believable by me, a European viewer.
Decent. Goood for a well worn subject, meaning that that other bee movie – that documentary that got the Oscar or was close to getting one – was better.
One of THE BEST action flicks in recent years. Simply put - it's awesome! Awesome acting, awesome shooting, awesome fist fights and the most awesome of them all - knife fights! I wonder how it is so that when in a Hollywood action movie the protagonist solely by himself kills 20 men, it simply looks ridiculous (think Sylvester Stallone/Jason Statham), but when the same happens in a South Korean movie (think this flick or Chan-wook Park's works), it looks convincing and even realistic - but first and foremost awesome! This movie was so good, that even the oh-just-a-little too cheesy ending did not ruin it even by one little bit.
Chan-wook Park wants to be David Mamet. He mostly succeeds too. Good movie, which keeps you on its toes, with lots of visual beauty. Not a masterpiece, though, as his older works.
Not as bad as the reviews or ratings would make you believe. Sure, the dialogs are cheesy, and super-serious Will Smith is ridiculous, but the story, the tension and oh, the visuals, all are there. So it's still a decent watch.
Great study of what war causes to humanity, although sometimes I found it hard to identify with the main character knowing what the Germans did in WW2.
Giving up your autonomy when building your family can have dire consequences... This movie is so sad that I could really enjoy it as I was trying to detach emotionally as much as I could from it.
Very good, albiet a little bit unrewarding in the end. I expected joy and happiness, but was given a hard kick in the lower back. Ah, life dissapointments. That's how this movie is. Real as it can be.
Wow, just wow. It was so totally unexpected! I prolongeed watching it for so long and now I wish I had seen it sooner! It was supposed to be some moderately good intellectual drama, but I got an extremely engaging movie full of life and passion. It really is Beethoven's fault!
Not that bad as imdb rating would make you think. I did really enjoy it. You just have to treat it with one eye closed, thinking it's some kind of fairy-tale.
Wow. I feel like I've watched at least a dozen films just like it (Spike Lee, thank you imdb), yet somehow this one felt quite different. Maybe because most of it has actually happend? I'm not sure. Funny thing is I got tired of the chaotic story and shaky camera movements quite quickly. And the story felt so cliche at first. Still I became entangled in it basically before the first half went by. And the ending gave at least 2 stars more to the rating. Great soundtrack did its job too.
Good, although very long and full of intellectual talk, that you really need to concentrate your attention on. Perhaps a little bit disappointing as the underlying story is, well, simple.
- What is your greatest ambition? - To become immortal... and then die. A movie that defined pop culture (and how movies would be made) for the times to come. Now, 50 years later, it looses much of its appeal to become only a lesson in history of filmmaking. A valuable lesson, though.
Just another Bollywood fairytale for grownups. Sure, it's better than most others, but it's still full of those unbelievable situations/stories created solely that the main protagonist can "show off". Everything is just too good/too beautiful/too improbable. But the emotions are there and that's the most important thing.
A Sci-Fi of epic proportions. One I have been longing for oh for so long time. Too long. Too long. "Come. We cannot save ourselves. I will help you conquer this world" had me collecting my jaw from the floor.
There's something in those high-school movies. Especially if they're not of American descent. This one has goot too much of it, much too much. Very disturbing. Similar to Elephant, in way, only goes inside characters. Deep.
I simply cannot believe I go on and on and watch those silly, no, no silly, just plainly stupid hollywood romantic comedies. One, okey, two, three tops! funny moments. And that's all. Everything else? Ridiculously bad. In other words - total crap.
Decent French crime/drama. And even though it's filled with clichés from start till the end, it's a good watch. Oh and even despite the improbability of driving a bike like that with one arm paralyzed.
Uhm, so-so. Tries way too hard to be funny and in effect most of the time it's not funny. Fortunately there are some funny moments, so it's not all wasted. But it's not a good movie either.
It's a really great series, I give it that. The intrigue, the world created, all is top notch. The only gripe I have is with too many unanswered questions (who survived, who were those man landing on the beach, what is going on with the nuclear arsenal and so on...) as I don't think there's going to be a second season.
Excellent historic epic. Sure, it was cheesy at moments, and effects left a lot to be desired, but the political background, the Piłsudski character, the depiction of historical events were top notch. I loved to learn a little bit more about those times.
Excellent! Although I must say that it was very uneasy to watch it. Certainly not for the faint hearted. Out of all pictures that were basically a one-(trapped)-man-show, this is one of the best.
Great documentary about Formula 1. How the sport evolved, how the safety came into play (way too late and too many great F1 heroes had to die for that to happen).
Much, much too complicated. And way too quick to actually follow it. Only after reading the imdb forums I've realized what this movie was about. Strangely enough, the director Theo Van Gogh has been murdered for similar reasons that Pim Fortuym (Dutch politician, whose murder is the baseline of this movie) was.
Fucking brilliant! Denys Arcand has been my hero for a long time now and even though this is not the best out of the trilogy it still is simply fucking brilliant!
