this movie looks beautiful. the camera angles, the colours, the lighting, all of it combine to give it such an amazing feel. technically this movie is a marvel with a good soundtrack to add.

though the plot doesn't entirely back the beauty, it suffices and does a good enough job. the actors do well, though at times the motivation to give it their best isn't always there.

7.5/10

watch it if you want some serious plot with some beautiful cinematography

amazing trip into the surreal, undefined and formless. very enjoyable but weird (in a good way though).

movie was very charming, sweet and a very good watch if you're looking for something light. great directing, great performances and some very good moments. chloe grace moretz is amazing as usual and if she doesn't join the line of completely broken and drug-addled child stars, there's great success in her future.

7.5/10

PS, i like zooey deschanel's performance in this but her doing her cutesy thing anywhere else makes me close to puking all my meals out. despise her in every other work of hers except for this

people are really taking it out on this movie. what the hell did they expect from a movie about the white house under attack and having anything to do with nuclear missiles?

fun and fast paced with a satisfying ending, the action is enough to make me forget the cheese, the cliches and the bad effects. had a great time watching this.

excellent visuals as expected from joseph kosinski.

and as expected from joseph kosinski, the plot is threadbare and devoid of any intelligence, taking huge leaps of logic just to somehow keep it moving.

average and mediocre, it adds nothing to the sci fi genre

the mid credits scene was AWESOME.

the plot sufficed. didn't go anywhere action movies haven't gone a thousand times before but it does a decent job of entertaining. performances are great throughout and the only real gripe in this movie was that godawful shakycam fight scene at the funeral.

is this movie full of cliches, a nonsensical plot and sappy scenes. oh yes.

but is it FULL of nuclear-powered, elbow-rocket punching, kaiju smashing, tanker-dragging, city-destroying, underwater-'sploding, space-slicing, apocalypse-cancelling AWESOME? FUCK YEAH.

to those complaining about the plot, if you think this movie wanted anything to do with a sensible plot and deep scientific research, you're obviously not the audience this film is aimed at. this is the most badass, action-packed nostalgia flood i've ever had. the acion sequences are excellent and brilliantly shot . guillermo del toro lets loose all his visual skills to bring us some amazing shots of these epic battles to truly give us the sheer scope of what's happening. but here's the kicker. the characters are DEEP. the fact that the memories of two individuals play a major role in controlling the robots is used to excellent effect for some major character building scenes. though these sequences are short and dwarfed by all that robot-beast awesome, they are a great addition and you really do care about them after a while. and that musical score.... DAT SCORE.

in short, if you love some giant mecha fighting some giant beasts, why the fuck are you still reading? go out there and buy yourself a ticket NOW.

i didn' think the story was really going anywhere. i mean it was great directing, great acting and some stuff was just happening and it seemed like a decent enough movie. nothing really special...

then BAM BAM BAM

that's both the sound of guns in the movie and my brain exploding with all the metaphors and hints thrown at me and i was amazed by just how good the last 15 mins made it. we find out jut how twisted and destroyed this guy's brain is. an amazing movie and a must watch for any film fan.

frankly the best superman movie so far. zack snyder sure knows how to direct though i can't say the same about goyer's writing. plot did let this movie down a bit but overall, really satisfied.

yes, i think we all agree that the last few minutes really let us all down. i really need to start checking every movie if it has even a shred of lindelof's influence cause that guy has given me nothing but pain and misery.

the rest of the movie was VERY enjoyable with a lot of cheesiness but the good, fresh mozzarella not the old one with the green and blue stuff sitting in the corner of your fridge. all the actors kill it in the movie and the special effects are spectacular and used appropriately (which is more important). jj abrams really proves his directing chops. never once was i ever bothered by all the camera angles and the lens flares, being far more engaged with what was happening which is remarkable (michael bay needs to take notes).

the ending takes 2 points off but otherwise great.

if you're looking for the next action-packed, epic, funny and bombastic summer blockbuster, boy is this the movie for you. if you wanted something more along the lines of iron man 1 with it's more serious overtones shining through the humor and action, this one will disappoint you though you may enjoy it.

shane black's signature is all over this film with the humor, the narration and the overall style. though tonally quite inconsistent, with a lot of sloppiness in the second half, i still VERY much enjoyed the movie. it just didn't have as intelligent a plot as i'd hoped.

a VERY enthusiastic 8.5/10. it's definitely better than 2 but don't look too hard for something along the lines of batman.

stuff of legends. hayao miyasaki lets no moment go to wast eas he crafts a beautiful tale of the lost and found and the heart that guides you through the difficult and weird times of your life. can't recommend this enough

seriously guys, if you have even an ounce of a true film lover in you, you won't complain about the length or the content. not being an american i cannot attribute to the veracity of the plot but what a plot it is nonetheless.

acted and directed impeccably, we feel for this lincoln who tirelessly worked to get this bill passed which he believed was the right thing to do. it is not daniel day-lewis who embodies lincoln, it is daniel who has been possessed or such it seems by the excellent performance delivered, worthy of the award bestowed on him. everyone involved gave their heart and soul to this project and it shows.

oscar nominated? why? jennifer lawrence won for this and not winter's bone?

this movie is nice, well directed and acted, with a decent story that goes cookie cutter a long way before the end. i enjoyed this movie and might watch it again.

that said, the oscars are definitely rigged in some way to pander to something other than common sense or artistic sensibilities because this was not an oscar worthy performance by jennifer lawrence, merely a great one. and this movie needn't have been nominated. the academy eschews genius like drive and nominates this? i have lost all faith in them and the brand of academy award winner no longer means anything to me.

excellent movie. really good acting by everyone and logan lerman gives an outstanding performance, a far cry from the disappointment of percy jackson. i began to suspect the twist a good while before it happened and i was glad that wasn't the whole point of the movie, to deliver that twist. it was more about how a broken boy deals with what he has been through and how he finds help in a most unlikely place.

if i had known more about this massacre maybe i would have connected more and felt more. even then this was a very depressing, sad and well made movie. very original art style and choice to make a documentary. this type of film is not what comes to your head when you think about a documentary about war. the animation lends a surrealism to the events and the graphic ending wakes you up into the reality.

THIS is the movie going for the oscars? What the hell? Is there seriously no way for something like Paranorman or Frankenweenie (which I have not seen yet) to win? Thank god it was Brave that won the Golden Globes and not this derivative amalgam.

Predictable from the very beginning, this movie is riddled with cliche after cliche. Bad puns and horrible comic timing abound. I mean they had Sarah Silverman, John Reilly, ALAN TUDYK for crying out loud and it wasn't funny in the least. The dialogue is so SO bad, it stank worse then Ralph's breath might have. And what nostalgia? There is a certain art in creating the feel of nostalgia WITH SUBTLETY. This movie hands you nostalgia with fireworks and candy canes up your nose and it feels forced. The references are simply shoehorned to ensure the acclaim from "gamers" who will squeal from the ten lines that do the required lip service. The setting is barely original following the tried and tested formula of it's FAR superior predecessor, Toy Story where inanimate toys (upgraded to our tech decade) come to life unseen and shenanigans abound.

It's a kid's movie through and through. Kids WILL a blast with this and they will love the tale of the underdogs desperate for love. But as a grown man who has seen animated movies far more beautiful in their message and content, this one sucked for me.

6/10

P.S. What is up with the hype on this? Some dude is celebrating this one displacing Ben Hur. WHY. Ben Hur is a classic and a movie that shaped generations of cinema. And are "retro" gamers so starved for nostalgic pieces of the bygone eras of gaming that they find solace in this? PLAY a retro game for crying out loud, the internet is overflowing with people who feel the same and have the talent and skills to make legitimate nostalgic pieces.

watch this with a date and you're sure to get some action.

incredibly sweet with an ending that left me all smiles, lovely characters with so much depth, a story equal parts ridiculous and funny and equal parts thoughtful and sweet. i'd easily recommend this to anyone.

excellent bond movie. i don't know about "best bond ever" but definitely ONE of the best. and the cinematography almost made me jizz my pants. dat cinematography... a brilliant villain, completely tangential of all the generic "take over world" 1D bond villains of yore. definitely a must watch for all though i see many bond "fans" complaining below. i do miss the gadgets though, they were always pretty cool.

excellent movie. another gem from zemeckis. great performances all around, great directing and the crash sequence is brilliant. ending is satisfactory too as it could easily have been far, far worse.

this movie reeks of cowboy bebop and that's a great thing. the whole movie is so similar to bebop in scene construction, dialogue, even the lead looks a lot like spike. it's really amazing when you have a drug movie played by high school kids and it doesn't turn out to be ridiculous. the ridiculousness of the premise is even alluded to in a couple of scenes where we see just how laughable it is. but seriousness and dark elements take over the rest of the movie and you never once think about that anymore. it's something really original and well written. cinema aficionados must watch this. dialogue is hard to understand but you get used to it.
