Needed another hour to balance it's characters and story. It's a fun enough movie, but if you're not familiar with Warcraft lore you'll find the characters undeveloped and you won't have a clue what the hell is going on.
Those pining over a lack of relatable protagonists are missing the point, and if you're expecting any audience empathy you are sorely mistaken. Consequently this is not a movie for everyone.
It hit me halfway through that it was paced exactly like a Japanese Godzilla film - lots of build-up and blue-balling before a single final battle. I feel as though viewers lacking the experience of Toho Godzilla films will leave disappointed.
Good, not amazing, but very impressive debut. This is William Eubank's Reservoir Dogs or El Mariachi, it's not brilliant but it shows some serious promise.
A decent thriller that's at least of unique style. The biggest issue is the ending, which feels sorely inorganic. Had the original ending been kept, it would have easily bumped this one up higher than "forgettable".
It feels like QT and RR got together for brunch and were just like "You wanna film somethin' cool?" and did whatever they wanted. Don't ask for what you know this movie won't deliver.

Truly dreadful. Looks like a bad tv movie and full of awkward improv. Misses out on what made the original funny and doesn't replace it with anything.Movie comment on American Honey

There's a really good hour-and-forty-five-minute movie in here somewhere. Unfortunately it's inflated like it's made of yeast.Movie comment on Fateful Findings

Plays like the reenactment scenes of a documentary. It lacks the human touch of The Social Network, which remains the precedent for tech dramas.Movie comment on Non-Stop

If you like Martin McDonagh's work, Shane Black is like his scruffy dad.Showing items 1 – 25 of 32
