A popsicle
It tries to dazzle with colorful combat suits and pretty scenery, but the fighting and action is so over the top silly that it fails in doing so. It is impossible to take it seriously and therefore this flirt with potentially profound Chinese folklore is merely a quick sugar fix.Green Inferno, The
Student activists go protest in the jungle to save the habitat of the local natives, but end up being eaten by them

Eat those annoying actors
The cannibalism and slaughter should please those who like this sort of thing, and the live of the tribe - while not eating - even seemed sort of respectful and authentic. The movie is held back by really annoying characters delivering lots of poorly acted lines.Greenland

Decent, restrained disaster
While it doesn't set out new frontiers in disaster movies, I thought it was a pretty good one. It kept us hooked, it doesn't have overly complicated stunts and escapes, and it conveys a message that is such situations, the comets are hardly the biggest problem.Greyhound

Good warmovie but short on real involvement
Enough thrills of naval combat to satisfy war movie aficionados like myself, but it's not perfect. The gray and dark tones seem excessive, and the story is a very basic mission-begins-mission-ends affair, causing a lack of involvement. The two flashbacks of a woman seem a futile attempt to fix thisGrotesque (2009)
A young couple is taken hostage and submitted to grotesque torture. Yeh, that's pretty much the story.

Ultrapainful and hard to watch, with no payoff or clue to any of it
I was never drawn to torture movies, and by God I hope this is the most painful one in existence. I am giving this 7 points for it is not necessarily badly made, it managed to rattle me inside, made me look away and almost made me give up entirely. But that does not mean I recommend viewing it.Grudge, The

A well-made but boring jumpscare horror with zero new ideas
On the face of it, this looks and feels like a decent quality horror with fine actors too. Unfortunately, it has absolutely nothing else to offer but consecutive tired jump-scares with loud noises that you see coming from a mile away - and which get boring pretty quickly.Guardians of the Galaxy
Bound by circumstance, a group of creatures sets out to prevent danger in the universe.

Over the top science fiction action movie (in a good way)
A bit too much of everything, but somehow just right because of that!Wittenberg

Take some time to let it sink in, and start enjoying
Not familiar with this comic, I feared I'd never get into this unexplained stream of weirdness. But the humor, vivid space combat action and sympathetic characters grew on me and left me quite entertained indeed.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Amidst action and chases, Peter finds his dad. But a great danger lurks for the guardians and the universe.

Bursting with life
It's almost impossible not to fall for the groovy atmosphere, ultra saturated colors, fantastic designs, wonderful scenery and continuous wisecracks. It was clearly made with heaps of faith and love for this universe, and I salute them. But a deep, engrossing adventure it is not.Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

Fun, not terrifying, dark tales for adults
While some of these stories can get quite gruesome - there's a lot of full frontal decaying corpses - the overall atmosphere is more akin towards mystery and dark fairy tales for adults, in terms of style and music. Two I found rather weak, but rest of them quite enjoyable.Guilty, The

A decent but not perfect single-person, single-location flick
One of those risky movies shot on a single location with a single actor holding everything together. It works - it is a thrilling watch. It lacks, however the craftsmanship or plot to really make it bite your nails, and would have benefited from more realism and a more likable lead character.Movies found: 1042 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 391 - 400
