I found this shockingly dull, like The Aviator even more drained of purpose crossed with Once Upon a Time in America.
I was bored. The only daring or interesting thing about the movie was the comically straight way they shot some of the gun violence. Everything else is just plagiarized elements of better movies. ...
I thought this was bad, and almost entirely due to Tarantino's decision not to have an overriding plot.
I can't really understand that viewpoint. To me, it's like saying The Godfather Part II is Coppola's weakest movie.
I was thoroughly bored through most of this. This might be even worse than Gravity.
Corny and dull. I was so much more impressed by the trailer.
Yikes this thing was lifeless.
Really good stuff. This isn't getting as much buzz as Chazelle's prior films, but I think it's his best by far. Finally working from a good script seems to have unlocked Chazelle.
Tarantino > Elmore Leonard
This was good, better than any Spielberg film since the underrated War Horse. Odenkirk is not the MVP. FOH with that. Streep and Hanks are definitely the standouts.
I feel the same, and I don't like this movie nearly as much as I do Two Lovers. 2017 was a terrible movie year IMO.
And those weren't good lines either. Scorsese and Tarantino to answer your question. As for the idea that great films can not have stories, I think that's absurd in the extreme and just modernist...
I think a movie can have great technical merits, strong acting, and still be nigh worthless. Too many directors nowadays have no sense of the total impression of their movie; they're like novelists...
I don't really understand PTA's scriptwriting anymore. His movies after Punch-Drunk Love feel so aimless to me, and the characters too thinly sketched. I appreciate individual components like...
Because Rian Johnson is a nice guy and shouldn't have his feelings hurt despite making an unbelievably terrible movie? I think it's refreshing that people are calling out this movie's bullshit.
When I see David Ehrlich claim this is the best Star Wars film, I want to tear my hair out. Not only is there not a single memorable line of dialogue in this film, there isn't a single decent line. ...
Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I loved Brick and Rian Johnson's work on Breaking Bad, but I wouldn't even shake his hand in public after seeing this crap. Did this movie really have...
I really wanted to like this, as I'm a big fan of I Am Love, but I ultimately found this nowhere near as swoon-worthy, so I agree with much of what Idiotheque wrote. I haven't read the book, but I...
I liked this, but it's not as complex as Hell or High Water, and Renner, while good in this, is far greater in The Town IMO. Her role/performance wasn't spectacular or anything, but I increasingly...
I thought this was a fiasco, in the worst way. Aronofsky's always been good at coming up with visuals, but I can't stand his writing/conceptualization. It's like he thinks he's 70s Coppola, when in...
For me:
1. The Dark Knight
2. Interstellar
3. The Prestige / Inception
5. Insomnia
6. Batman Begins
7. Memento
8. The Dark Knight Rises / Dunkirk
There's no story. I don't know what the point of this movie is. 1/10
I loved Rise, but I found Dawn quite dull. I hope this is more like the former.
This was excellent. Maybe my favorite Linklater film since Before Sunrise.
I continue to find Edgar Wright's screenwriting glaringly deficient. I can like a good 50% of his movie with some moderate enthusiasm, and just find the rest inept and infantile. The last portion...
