Laughably bad. The funniest part, albeit unintentional, was when travis scott did his black 'slam poetry' attempt. I heard several people in the audience start giggling. It was the part of the film that I'll always remember. I bet a thousand memes will live on in history thanks to this POS movie.
Acting was bad except for Pattinson. I truly don't understand why some of these people were cast, they have zero connection to Greece. Anyway, like I said several parts were laugh out loud funny, but I'm 100% sure the director didn't mean for ppl to laugh. Next time we won't be so quick to buy a ti…

This movie starts out feeling as though it wants to go in one direction and then pulls a lovely twist and actually makes you get invested in a completely different movie. It does this in a really good way and there is no discontinuity between the two feelings. It's very creepy and very well acted and the directing is spot on. Even the effects carry the horror of this story forward and it turns out being a lovely little horror movie. I highly recommend it.…

An amazingly ambitious effort that mostly pays off. Solid acting, great production values, and an effective reuse by Nolan of plot elements and characters from Homer's epic to tell a story for the modern audience. I have no regrets having paid for theater tickets to have seen this.

With a production design worthy of Sir Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan takes us into antiquity for his take on the second instalment of Homer's Trojan War stories. I have to say it's maybe not the most impressive of wooden horses that is left as a tribute for the maybe just a little too gullible Trojans, but now we know that this decade-long siege has all ended in a mighty conflagration and that Odysseus (Matt Damon) is keen on returning to Ithaca where his wife and son await him. On that island, though, strife is rife. Penelope (Anne Hathaway) is being besieged by an army of suitors like Anti…

Now I'm not sure we really needed another adaptation of Orwell's timeless critique on the pig-eat-pig world of animal hierarchies, but Andy Serkis clearly thought we did. The farmer has been forced into bankruptcy by the avaricious "Miss Pilkington" who wants his land, but luckily "Snowball" notices that the lorry purportedly taking them on a vacation isn't actually heading to the laughterhouse - but there is an extra "s" which they hadn't quite clocked. Alarmed, the horses, cows, sheep, chicks and aforementioned porcines leap back to safety and now without their human master conclude that the…

falls flat
Two lead actors who can carry a movie, a series by themselves, and - in a good ensemble - achieve near perfection? Sounds good!
Plus a number of promising lesser know ones, a familiar scenario but not an exact copy (unused era/place combination, AFAIK),
that could be great.
I watched the first episode, and had trouble finishing it.
It's all so ... lifeless, by the numbers, formulaic; it's the opposite of "gripping" and "immersive".
Maybe they had a bad start? Maybe. But it doesn't give off the "vibe" of a slow start, or hidden potential.
Some will see its appeal.

"The Furious" delivers a solid, adrenaline-fueled experience that focuses almost entirely on its high-stakes action sequences. The fight choreography is impressive, showcasing sharp, impactful movements that feel heavy and dangerous, largely thanks to the chemistry between Xie Miao and Joe Taslim. However, the film struggles when it tries to slow down, as the narrative is quite thin and the dialogue often feels like an afterthought. While it lacks the thematic depth or character development to make a lasting impact, it succeeds as a straightforward, brutal display of martial arts skill. If you…

ABSOLUTE trash of a movie, goes against all ethos and morals in filming, it takes way identity and places people of new world order agenda. Very poor adaptation of homer. Matt with his daughters and wife should spend time in India for the next pandemic, instead of Ireland. I will say this, pacing, story telling, amazing scenery, all of that dont fool the millenials audience, maybe genz, since they are so much into hype and 4k - its easy to mislead them. Also, lets take a moment to dedicate how far the studio has gone to show this film early in the most populated country, to get positive review…
