Standard fare for Marvel, not as good as the first one, about par with the tripe they produce for Netflix. These are produced for immature, uneducated millenialls and ya's not adults. .
An under rated Scorsese gem. Tight script, great photography. Great performances by all the actors, especially Ben Kingsley. Worth the $5 usual price and the !.99 black friday price.
Didn't like it the first time but was talked into watching again and glad I did, fills some holes from Prometheus. Looking forward to the next edition.
This was good but it could of been much better, some of the writing in the first half was horrible and clunky. Dan Gilroy is an amazing writer (Nightcrawler) but the other 2 writers credited on this film have never written anything of quality and it shows. Having worked in Hollywood for the past 20 years I assume Gilroy turned in a solid script and then a few film execs wanting to justify their job tinkered with it. It's worth a view or two but not as good as Godzilla (which wasn't great but had much better pacing and writing) which they are linking this film to in the new Majestic Universe and nowhere near as good a job as Peter Jackson's King Kong from last decade. Nice job by John C. Reilly and Sam Jackson had a fun and interesting off kilter renegade performance.
I would actually give this 3 1/2 stars if they had it. Indie darling at Sundance and worth a view for those who like seeing quality actors in smaller budget films, has a nice twist at the end and Harry Potter as you have never seen him before.
There is a reason this film is on AFI's list of great films, must view for those that haven't seen it and has the best version that is available on Blu Ray. My former instructor was a 2nd unit director on this film and the stories he told us about Martin Sheen when he was in his Charlie Sheen party days when they shot this really are apparent on the screen, Mr. Sheen actually had a mild heart attack early in the shooting. Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando turn in 2 of there best performances of all time and great cameo by Sterling Hayden.
One of Bill Murray's best films from his peak era, almost as good as Groundhog Day and a good twist on the classic tale. Must see viewing during the holidays.
Non stop action movie flows, hard to get through Carrie FIshers horrible addled voice and Kylo Rens performance but other than that a great addition to the Star Wars universe and way better than the 3 films Lucas tossed down our throats in the 2000's.
