(No Spoiler) This film was riding high in my book up until the ending. I even liked the general story of the ending, but the visual choices left a bad taste.
Praise for relative newcomer Katy O'Brien, the first Oscar-worthy performance of 2024
This isn't a musical that will sway people who aren't musical fans. However, it's bright, fun, and flashy. The actors do a great job filling the shoes of their predecessors. And a lot of the jokes were new, it never felt like I was watching the original over again. Kinda dumb but still earnest and enjoyable
Did you like Black Panther 2, Antman 3, and Thor 4? if so, then you'll probably like this. Far from being a bad movie, its just more of the same from Marvel. If you are getting tired of these kind of movies, then this isnt going to change your opinion. But if you enjoy them or go in with managed expectations, then you'll like this movie fine
yeah its better than the last few saw movies but only because the others were so bad. This is far from being good and not even close to the original (2 and 3 were good too). What was nice was the linear story telling, which this franchise is use to ignoring to confusing effects, also the acting all around is pretty good.
heres the bad, the traps arent very creative, to even downright stupid. theres no mystery or twist. not even a puzzle to solve. It feels like Jigsaw had gotten so lazy setting up these traps this time around and on top of that
he openly tells his victims who he is before the game begins. If they survive wouldnt they then tell the police who is doing this? One of them does survive (pretty easily considering she was the worst one) and Jigsaw seems completely unphased that she knows his identity. one of the weakest endings in the franchise
Interesting story, but i dont know if this needed a whole movie. The filmmakers seem to rely solely on the true life story to drive the film and add no flair or creativity to it.
Spoiler Free - I like Waller-Bridge's character (and her sidekick). And I liked her dynamic with Indy. I also liked the opening action sequence. Aside from that the movie was really boring. The plot was boring, the action was boring, and the villain was boring. But worst of all, Indy was boring. I like Harrison Ford, he was great in Blade Runmer 2049 and Shrinking. But here he is just old and out of place. It felt like everything had to be toned down so that he can keep up. Frankly, I really wished they had recast him and done a James Bond thing of another non-sequential adventure film.
Spoiler - I don't like what they did with Shia LeBeouf's character. I hate when sequels completely ignore previous films character growth just so they can do it again. Mutt wasn't the greatest aspect of Crystal Skull but how they treated him here made it all pointless. And the time travel aspect falls into the same cliches of other timetravel movies. It was boring. Crystal Skull had plenty of issues, but at least it tried to be original
A good comedy should still be a good movie if the jokes are stripped away. This movie had a surprisingly insightful and original core. Not every joke worked, but enough did. And I was invested in the characters and their relationship with each other. It was better than I was expecting
You leave her apartment without saying a word to get her a new diary? you made her run out in the street in her underwear. who could possibly think that was a nice and romantic gesture. so tired of your stupid mind games. you're a grown as man
had its funny moments but overall kinda forgettable IMO. It wouldve been better as a tv series with all its subplots going all over the place. 6/10
fun, colorful, and funny. the plot was kinda meh but the whole point was to squash together a bunch of Mario easter eggs together in a coherent manner and mission accomplished.
it doesnt feel like a dinosaur movie, it feels like a typical alien planet movie, which isnt a bad thing just not what i expected. the filmmakers even said they completely made up dinosaurs for this movie. If they are just gonna make stuff up, whats the point of setting it in a prehistoric era.

X can't be the villain, that's way too obvious. The villain must be Y(1 hour later)
Nope, X is the villain
