Letterboxd — Your life in film

If I was a Communist this would probably resonate with me more.

Great premise more or less squandered by absolutely smothering it in prepubescent cringe. The funniest bits are mostly throwaway lines.

Hatsune Miku at the merge with Pete Maverick Mitchell, fights on!

As expected from Watanabe, there's a conceptual edge to it, but not without a bit of style over substance. Thing is: with style like this, I'm having trouble seeing that as a bad thing.

Yoko Kano going mental on the soundtrack as usual.

May the record show I saw this on the anniversary of Hiroshima. 🤓

No disrespect to Cillian Murphy or the rest of the cast, but the true star of this movie is Le Bomb (it le kills people). The movie knows this and does everything it can to delay the reveal, scurrying down rabbit holes and gratuitously long face close-ups. When Le Bomb is finally revealed, nothing that follows seems important, and there's a lot that follows.

I went in with a few spoilers, but actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Had plenty of laughs, and Goz seemed to be having the time of his life.

Thematically and message-wise, this is a mess, from tossing anti-cap rhetoric smack in the middle of the doll-and-Chevy commercial to the notion that high-volume lectures have ever changed anyone's mind about anything. Barbie in Toy Story 3 had a more timely political message than anything here.

Then again, I'm just Ken.

Is this even a movie?

It flashes some sophomoric ideas but frustratingly does nothing with them. I thought I'm the exact demographic this movie was made for and yet it's utterly lost on me.

This is 1/2 star without the hot rod dialog.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This movie was just OK.

I wanted scarier: the chimp was scarier than the big reveal. And I wanted a better connection to Daniel Kaluuya's OJ. He comes across as slightly autistic and I'm not sure that was the intention. Also could have been funnier if JP wanted to go that direction.

Are all dramatic roles from this era so wooden, or was this just the way people existed in the world back then, especially in Britain? Yikes.

But we're here for the airplane porn, and per house rules that +1/2 star.

I mean, you can't not love Sully, but even at 96 minutes it drags. Turns out making a feature film out of a 200 second event leaves some stretch marks.

We all know what we're signing up for when we turn one of these on. Nobody claim ignorance. By those standards, c'mon people, this wasn't that bad.

Stanley Tucci losing his mind was good stuff!
