Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well, I too saw Kong: Skull Island yesterday. It's a spectacular monster movie, yes, but the characters are so unbelievably static. The movie is more concerned with logistics than developing its characters. Which is a shame, because there are some interesting possibilities set up in the first twenty minutes and they cast and ensemble of A-listers. All of this is wasted. Basically, after Sam Jackson faces Kong for the first time, all the cards are on the table and very little changes until the end of the film. No one learns anything. This leaves us with empty spectacle. And that's a pity, because they clearly put a lot of money and effort into the monster scenes, only to bore me for long stretches of the film. Meh.

It's funny how some characters are presented in a way that make you feel they'll be important to the story only to be killed before they accomplished anything. Spoiler John Goodman's character, for example: it appears he's going to be an important part of the story, the guy who knows a lot of stuff about what's going on, etc... But nope. He just says: "Something attacked the ship. I know it! Something huge... And they said I was mad!" and then he's eaten, and that's it. Same with Toby Kebbel's character. We spend some time with him wandering alone in a few scenes, then you think: "He's gonna discover something important! Surely, it's leading to something important", but then, nope, he's just eaten and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm currently watching Rogue One and it is exactly like I expected. I always thought that Star Wars spinoff movies where a bad idea, and now I have the proof. Well, at least, these are not for me, and I consider myself a big fan! I'm not impressed at all, it's a bad average movie like all the bad average movies Hollywood produces these days. More a videogame than a movie actually, like all the others. This movie doesn't reach the little boy in me who used to play at "Star Wars" with his friends. All the references to the old movies are pathetic and I can't help repeating to myself "My god, this is so bad!". For me, Star Wars will end with John Wiliams's death and I really just hope he'll be able to score the last one... Episode 9. A24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Your Name Really lovely movie.

Matt C 452 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Zookeeper's Wife Jessica Chastain is fantastic here, although her Polish accent is lacking. The story has potential to be a devastatingly good movie, but the script is far too condensed and softens the reality of Nazi-occupied Poland (only two people are killed on-screen). Niki Caro's direction is good, but I wish she and her screenwriter had focused on making the film as authentic as possible, rather than skirting over the more horrific parts of the Holocaust. There are two plot cheats near the end that denies a proper emotional catharsis, like in Spielberg's War of the Worlds. It's a thoroughly watchable movie, thanks to Caro and Chastain, but the script isn't that much better than a Lifetime made-for-TV film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, it's the fourth largest grossing film of all time in Japan and Mark Kermode called it his ninth favourite film to be released in the United Kingdom in 2016. I'll have to get on this.

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Rogue One. I really enjoyed it. I only think that too many good people died rather quickly and really didn't like K2: the voice was just... off. Use C3-PO, but don't try to replace him, it doesn't work. Felecity Jones's character and performance was terrific, I really need to watch her in Inferno as soon as I can. And even though I'm not a fan of the current political correctness obsession that requires everyone to force minorities into every single film, I liked Chirrut and demand to know where I can sign up for Jedi training... and why J.K. Rowling hasn't provided an answer to the question: (How) an blind people use a wand? And now a word about the score. I haven't been following the debate at all on this one, but my answer to 'is Giacchino the next John Williams' is definitely YES. While I found that the thematic references to JW's scores didn't suffice (why use only the first half of the Forcce?), most of the score sounded like something JW could have written. Jin's theme is great. To write such music in such a short amount of time is impressive and even though I generally don't like frantic JW action music, I'm embracing it these days just because I've totally had it with Hans Zimmer's style popping up literally everywhere (including in a Belgian travel documentary).
