The Stand (2020)
Pretty sad
Sad that all this makes you wanna do it watch the cheesy 1994 miniseries. It has 4-5 more hours and manages to tell less of the story and have the characters be less developed. Most of the horror of Captain Trips is glossed over, Mother Abigail has 10 minutes of screen time max.. seriously wtf?
One and only improvement was the actor playing Tom (Moon) Cullen.
Shadow in the Cloud (2020)
Suspension of disbelief.. look it up
The negative reviews of this are ridiculous. This is escapist fun at its finest, employing the laws of physics from the Resident Evil and Fast&Furious franchises, and weaving several outlandish plots into a really fun rope to hang onto for the ride!
Critics be damned, get your favorite mind altering substance on board and enjoy!
Long Shot (2019)
Unrealistic expectations
This movie really belongs in the sci fi section. I find the premise insulting. 5's and 12's will never mix.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
If you can't understand it nor make sense of it, yet it's revered as a classic...by golly it must be GREAT!
Give me a break. Why is this film considered a classic? I mean there is a completley unidentifiable plot, a ton of visuals that are ultimatley meaningless and music that was misplaced to begin with(Such an epic theme for a slow motion shot of an ape bashing the bones of a dead animal?).
This is a classic example of films which are artsy, no one understands them or can make sense of them...so it must be good, right? Where does that logic come from, I wonder? I rented it 3 times, the first 2 I never got through the first 30 minutes. The 3rd time I made myself sit through it. I had to throw my shirt in the wash because of the drool stains! I mean it touches on some plot points(Alien life, the mystery of evolution...least it seems that was the idea) and them just trails off...REPEATEDLY.
I cannot comment of Kubrick, I have seen several of his other films, non of which I enjoyed with the exception of "The Shining", which was still boring to an extent.
I keep reading reviews that start out like "Greatest movie ever made", "A masterpiece of cinema". OK, I have no idea how one can come to this conclusion. But please explain what this film is about...You can't! Can you?! Any good film needs a plot, this movie is horribly lacking.
I know I will get blasted for this, but if you want a movie which brings up simular type views and uses a simular style in film making, see "Mission to Mars". It is much more enlightening and features great actors like Gary Senise and Tim Robbins.
I can't argue with the fans(sheep) of this film, because I don't know what they see in it or why. I consider myself a smart person, I like long epic style films that don't have to move at the pace of "The Matrix" to be good. I don't even ask for a satisfactory ending, I just want to know that some thought was put into a film.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
A great film that was looked at by the wrong people!
I know now why this movie is getting so many bad reviews. it's because the critics don't play the game! The movie is EXACTLY like the game! Hell I've played half of the action sequences in it!
I thought they did Lara alot of justice. When is part 2 coming out?
