I hope the games were better

After falling asleep during four attempts, then by having my phone close by to combat pure boredom, I can finally say that I made it through this. It is all very plastic, artificial, shallow, cold and unexciting.

A good but somehow slightly distant bio

All in all an impressive bio about an impressive person, clearly made with dedication and respect for Lee. Before the haunting last scenes though, I thought it was a bit slow to grab me by the throat. Perhaps because the character is a bit closed and cold, even though that may have been the case.

Fresh series with a unique atmosphere

The atmosphere and tech from the seventies are a great idea, and give these series a unique personality. Storywise it is pretty good too, keeping us curious and ready for more. All in all, good enough to forgive plenty of not so plausible plot points.

Just about interesting enough

The movie is quite sober and slow-moving, but it somehow fits the vibe of the cult, and the mystery surrounding the leader is enough to keep it interesting. That it not to say that there could have been more to it.

Part original, part not

The pool thing is quite refreshing (haha) and overall it's a worthwhile horror. It could have benefited from a more thought out story behind the curse, and the scares lacked creativity.

An interesting but vague scifi puzzler

There is something pleasant about the dreamy mood, relaxed flow and open storytelling. But at the same time this prevents the movie from making a real impact. I am having a hard time remembering it.

Minimalistic

Sometimes I think people underestimate how difficult it is to make an amusing shark movie But having four not so interesting characters sobbing and floating for an hour isn't the way. It's all very minimalistic and forgettable, especially the shark encounters.

Arty and violent revenge

The story is quite straightforward, but it works because there is a good mix of tension, some gore and some classy shots of the desert and people fighting for their life. It's a bit too shallow to deliver a gut punch though.

I think it failed to achieve what is was going for

I can totally see what they were going for: the different world of the night, shocking footage of crime and misery, a muggy atmosphere and erotic tension. While all of this things are here, they are a bit underdeveloped and lacking electricity. Making the journalist a weirdo was not helping.

A gripping drama with some perks that keep it from feeling like one

While the movie gains flair by adding some (mild) horror and comedy elements, it mostly is a drama about motherhood and broken dreams. Not something I'd normally put on, but I am glad I did. Adams is great, her boy Snowden remarkably good, and the whole thing just got me big time.

Perhaps a fair adaptation, but still unable to win me over

The story and execution are interesting enough. But as usual, I find it impossible to really care about the weirdly acting and one-dimensional characters and the drama they display. Oh I wish I could somehow see through this and truly enjoy the wondrous imagination of Manga.

Just about escapes mediocre torture

It starts of as a familiar but uncomfortable torture movie, which I am never quite sure how to rate. Luckily, halfway there is badass animation that lifts the movies' artistic flair, and the story also makes a turn trying to come up with a vague reason for the misery - but at least there is one.

Some possibly interesting ideas won't come to live

I'd really like to sympathize with this for some vaguely interesting concepts and, well, that they made this. But the story feels half-finished, and the movie is slow, clumsy and amateuristic. So much so that it gets in the way of enjoyment

Not so great

Well I guess someone had to try mixing space horror with comedy, but I found it terrible and it felt like a last resort when they realized this film wasn't going to fly. The continuous intercom conversations are weird and tiresome, the action hardly exciting and very 'only in movies'.

Sharp looking nonsense

The core idea is interesting enough, but unfortunately everything else is awful. The characters and acting is hideous, the story a mess. There was something interesting about the way it looked though. Not the design or FX itself, but the crisp colors and sharp lines stood out for some reason.

A decent scifi story lacking magic

It's a pretty cool story, and it feels like a passion project in which everyone did what they could with a limited budget. I just wish it had some more energy and sense of wonder in it - it's all a bit dull and lacking stand-out moments.

Fun with some kick

Rather than playing it save and becoming an average comedy, the jokes are saucy enough to give it some personality. Near the end I was afraid it was going to sink itself in morals and lessons of life, but that remains within acceptable range.

Nice

A really decent thriller with some mystery, interesting religious discussions and horror puzzles. using Grant was great casting; he didn't even need to really alter his style - his friendly demeanor combined with sinister undertones work great.

Who knew: Existentialism and softporn do mix

Even though it looks and sounds very porny, and looks like it was shot in 1970, it still manages to be a fairly interesting philosophical movie about being human. Remarkable.

Fake tough girls

I starts of pretty intense and serious, only to evolve into a rather average and unconvincing action movie. All of the characters feel forced and flat, and even my beloved Eva Green, with just a single grimace and zero emotions can't make her character comes live .

entertaining comedy-slasher

The goofy characters and their petty quarrels make this somewhat of a horror-comedy, even if some of the takedowns are fairly brutal. Quite entertaining indeed, but also quite shallow and volatile.

A good fix, but for how long

I guess it does a commendable job of bringing some new perspectives as well as delivering on the core material. But some fatigue kicked in with me as well; especially the dragged-out nature of everything, and the ultra clunky overacting and dialogues.

Heavy handed drama with insufficient payoff

I was hoping for some interesting footage or concepts about heaven, but this mostly a long, quite boring Christian medical drama. The heaven stuff does come up, but it's banal and unremarkable. There was one live lesson that stuck with me though, which is more than I can say about most movies!

You'll have to meta-watch it

You may enjoy this as Peter Jackson's first movie, for the practical and juice gore effects or just for the cheeky 'some guys with a camera made a movie' vibes. But I mostly found it a bit filthy in the wrong way, unfunny and was actually a bit bored at times.

A beautiful but not terrifying loveletter

The bleak 18th century surroundings, beautiful costumes, the miles thick and dark atmosphere make this an impressive movie, but also make it more of a dark fairytale than truly scary. Perhaps it is not trying or to be, but I am still awaiting the first truly scary vampire movie.

You can't fix a lacking story with art

Only at the very end the movie gains some momentum, and I actually liked the stop-motion scenes in there. But up until that point it is rather slow, vague and pleased with itself - so much so that the finale is unable to make up for it.

Close to 80s cheese, but not close enough

This got pretty close to the campy but highly entertaining 80s scifi bargain-bin material I have grown to like, but the endless scenes of people running around pointlessly through the same hallways, doing vague actions according to a vague script, ruined things a bit.

Familiar story without new inspiration

Something in the atmosphere feels off, the jokes tend to fall flat, it lacks a punchy script and dialogues. If you're going to do such a predictable story, at least make it good.

Amateuristic, repetitive and vague.

It's all painfully amateuristic, repetitive and vague. The misleading artwork must have been the last resort to have people watch this, which unfortunately did the trick for me.

Disaster that delivers

Some of the actions and motives of the people involved may be dubious, maybe even infuriating, but overall this delivered what a disaster movie should: tension, screaming at your television and a good time.

Not scary and out of fashion

Despite a few decent moments, my main impression was that it is very dated: the old mansion with vines and cobwebs, a pale lady, creepy dolls and stuffed animals, little ghost girls. Even the music sounded out of fashion. Perhaps it is an ode to those days, but then at least make it scary.

Decent but immature

It's quite original and has some some nice mystique and a pretty dense atmosphere. But it wasn't too scary, and the story felt a bit underdeveloped, like some ideas not fully formed into a well flowing script.

Great movie with a big heart

If you want to call it 'Wall-E in the woods' that's fine by me - it still is a great movie that made me laugh and even cry a bit, and the remarkable 'paint' style looks great. It has pleasant, sensible life themes that are well balanced and never overdone.

Forbidden pleasures

As uncomfortable as it sounds (and is), there is something exciting about peaking into this subculture. It's definitely a peculiar and pleasantly forbidden movie, but it would have been more involving if the characters themselves were at all impressed with their newly found fetish.

Series with epic grandeur but some distance

This show features plenty of interesting and well casted characters, some unique scifi designs and plenty some subplots that work well together. It's a bit cold and distant though, which may fit in the cold universe this is, but makes it less involving.

A dissapointing end of the trilogy

On itself it already was a rather meaningless movie that can only you make you shrug. But seeing this as a part of the trilogy with the remarkable Pearl and X, really makes you wonder how this ended up here and what they were thinking. Mink needs a better finale.

Remarkable and uncomfortable.

A gloomy and twisted movie that is not about sensationalism, but a more subtle sense of sickness and discomfort. It effectively uses some scifi and horror elements to create an interesting mix.

Chocolates were emtpy inside

I usually like these short stories, like a box of chocolates. But these were pointless, poorly acted, badly choreographed, bad looking and just utterly boring.

An orignal and tense story. Not great but perfectly fine.

While it never quite reaches the nailbiting, unbearable anxiety the premise ought to have, it still did a good job of keeping me hooked and involved. Extra points for originality. That guy though, twas just too damn pretty. Somehow I think it would have worked better if he looked like actual people.

A semi-found footage flick that's messy and fails to impress

The mysterious broadcasts were creepy, I wish they had stuck with that. Instead it was a pointless addition to an underdeveloped story that actually got a bit boring at times. That reporter guy out-acted everyone and therefore almost seemed in the wrong movie. Misleading artwork too.

Average entertainment with no surprises

A scfi monstermovie will probably always provide some solid entertainement, even if it can be pretty darn average. The monsters are unimpressive, the characters okay but flat or unlikable, the plot is predictable. Even the music was run of the mill. Decent, but leaves your mind immediately.

Great horror full of inspiration

I felt there might be some inconsistencies in the lore, and perhaps the script is even a little jumpy. But my my - what great and fibrant horror! Full of memorable scenes to give you the chills, not relying on lazy jumpscares. Fine performances and great sounds and music.

Extremely unclear and boring

Who knows - maybe in 10 years time this movie will have a cult following, pondering it's deeper meaning and misunderstood brilliance. But as it stands, I did not understand what was going on and was extremely bored by it - begging for it to end.

Likable movie in need of a tad more spices

While this scores with a non-sensationalist approach, sympathetic characters and some pleasing effects and biological creatures, it is let down by an overall slowness and lack of dynamics in the already sober story.

Objectively good, but not involving

A very good looking animation, that - I think - retains the gloomy and underdog atmosphere and unique style of the comics. Nevertheless, I found it hard to get really moved by it, or get involved with any of the characters - except of course for the spectacular Dr. Manhatten.

A two hour long fart

I still think I get this humor, and could enjoy the anarchy and meta self awareness. But mostly it feels like two hours of immature teen jokes. Everyone's invincible so the fighting is pointless and boring as hell, and the story is just completely irrelevant. Hmmm, maybe I don't get it after all.

A reasonable scifi with a reasonable, but not entirely new, twist

The story and the twist were done before in another movie, but is still worthwhile. Up until the twist, it is okay, with decent performances, decor and a nicely accumulating sense that something is wrong.

Another average comedy, albeit in a nice setting

It's fine. The 60's atmosphere mixed with space rockets emit a good vibe. But like all comedies, it seems, it evokes some light chuckles at best. For me, the stiff and lifeless character and/or performance by Tatum was the main culprit.

Played cards too early?

It starts of pretty interesting, but pretty early on we already get what feels like would be the twist. After that, what remains is a mildly entertaining, but hardly believable or groundbreaking crime/thriller.

Unique but can be boring and slow

Reimagining the Greek Gods in a (very) modern setting was a great idea, and I generally liked the style and vibe of these series. But I also found it was rather dragged out, and at times very low energy, especially the scenes in the afterlife - during which my mind wandered of several times.
