Honestly, this just looks like your run-of-the-mill, totally predictable Oscar bait boredom to me.

Only God Forgives 2. Man, it’s a bit of a slog—I actually had to watch it in two separate sittings just to get through. I don't mind this kind of stuff when I'm in the right headspace, though. It's definitely style over substance. Honestly, if he could just hire a decent screenwriter here and there to back up the visuals, his movies would actually be worth sitting through.

Honestly, I’m getting pretty sick of these comic book movies, and I just don't get the people who still get all hyped up over them. Don't get me wrong—Christopher Nolan's Batman was great, and I dig Iron Man mostly because of Robert Downey Jr., plus there are a handful of others that aren't half bad—but man, I really wish they'd just dump all that cash into some decent sci-fi instead.

It always boils down to the exact same formula, usually ending with some thirty-minute explosion fest.

Look, if this thing actually manages to hit the same level as the first movie, then we're talking about a perfectly solid pick for a chill night in.

Honestly? Kind of a bust. There are plenty of gorgeous shots—classic Manov wide angles that probably set some kind of record for sheer scale 😁—but the script is such a mess that I could barely finish it. I don’t even know how to explain how bad it was without sounding dramatic, but yeah, it's a slog. It just goes to show that all the high-tech gear, pretty cinematography, and talented directors in the world won't save you when modern scripts are basically just a pile of garbage.

Frank Chase6 said:Even just looking at this trailer, the whole thing feels incredibly dull and totally cookie-cutter. I don't get why they keep churning out these exact same types of movies, honestly.

And let's be real, the title is peak generic, lol. I don't even need to sit through the actual trailer to have a pretty good idea of what kind of movie this is gonna be.

Kind of a snooze fest, honestly. It starts off strong enough, but like someone else already mentioned, things just totally fall apart halfway through. All that subplot about the Child murders felt like a massive waste of time—I was way more hooked by the stuff involving the USSR bureaucracy and how that whole society functioned.

Such a massive waste of potential 👎. I was actually really hyped for this one; on paper, it looked like a winner, especially since I’m a huge fan of Hardy, and the rest of the cast is seriously top-tier.

Women actually dig it when things get a little rough—not that I’d ever go getting too carried away with that particular move myself, haha

So, he had that whole similar vibe back in the early nineties—he actually dabbled in boxing for a little bit before moving on. Then, well, the plastic surgery phase kicked in. Looking at him now, it feels like he’s done a complete 360.

So, he’s landed roles in *The Fighter*, *Iron Man 2*, and *The Expendables*... but honestly? It looks like the guy is sliding right back into that classic self-destructive mode of his.

Honestly, the last movie felt like it was stretched out thinner than a piece of cheap gum—just way too much filler. I’ve got no idea how I'm gonna feel about this one, especially since they decided to drag the whole thing out into two parts... kind of a bummer. :/

It happens—they're literally designed to give you that lift. I usually take mine alongside an anxiolytic just so I don't end up having a full-blown panic attack. Though, I do get this weird, low-key sense of dread sometimes... or maybe it’s just making it harder to actually fall asleep.

That’s why doctors often prescribe them together with anxiolytics for people dealing with anxiety issues.

Brian Williams said:bad bad bad Movie. There isn't even some big, crazy twist at the end; it’s more about trying to find continuity and an actual reason why everything was happening in the first place... I honestly had to skip through parts of the film because it was just that bad.

Hahahaha. What is this even supposed to mean? I’ve read this a few times now and I honestly can't wrap my head around what the writer was even trying to get at here.

So, in your book, does every single movie need that signature M. Night Shyamalan style stupid twist to count?

Look, I know this post is seven years old and I'm probably never gonna get an answer, but I just couldn't help myself. 😁

Pretty meh. Look, let’s be real—the first one wasn't exactly some cinematic masterpiece either (honestly, I think the whole franchise is overrated), but at least it was watchable and you could tell they actually put some effort into the production value. This sequel? Aside from being pretty weak on the actual scares, there was barely even a plot. Honestly, this movie could’ve easily been thirty minutes long and the entire story would’ve still fit perfectly in that timeframe.

And don't even get me started on that nonsense at the end—I was struggling just to follow the internal logic of the film. The pacing is like a snail crawling along for most of it, only for the ending to suddenly start jumping all over the place. I couldn't shake the feeling that they just rushed through filming Insidious: Chapter 2 during their weekend breaks between shooting The Conjuring.

As soon as I saw "found footage" on the description, I was basically out—game over. Honestly, I just can't stand that whole found footage trope.

Man, this movie was absolute gold back in its day. It basically defined the whole 90s slasher era—honestly, I don’t think anything since has even come close. Not that anyone seems to care about the genre anymore, apparently... :/ The way it poked fun at all those tired horror clichés was just spot on.

I still remember watching this with my buddies—the tension in the room was unreal. To be honest, most of the sequels felt like total garbage to me. Maybe the second one could hold its own, but after that? Forget it. I can't even remember a single one besides the original, lol. I don't even recall the latest one, which is pretty tragic considering how recent it is. I guess it was just so "good" that my brain decided to just block it out entirely.

Word on the street is they're already cooking up a third one, lol.

Will Smith needs to stop pushing his untalented son, the kid is just awful
Will Smith doesn't change his expression once the whole movie, zero personality... such a charismatic and cool actor playing some serious bore, the casting is worse than Samuel L. Jackson as a wise Jedi
It's bad, but not total trash... there's just no ambition here, kind of like a predictable video game

electric rabbit's post is pure gold!

Honestly, both kids. I just saw her latest video being pushed all over my YouTube home page today... man, they are both painfully untalented. It’s a shame, really. No matter how much money Will Smith throws at the production, you just can't buy actual talent.

It’s a decent enough flick. It’s got that slightly cheap, digital look going on, but honestly? It’s fun. The cast is super charismatic, and those chase sequences definitely carry the movie for me. I’d probably slap a 6.8 or 7 on it.

Basically, at this point, I’m just happy with anything that isn't some "grim-dark, brooding superhero" slog or one of those exhausting, shaky-cam action messes you forget about five minutes after the credits roll.

Caught this one yesterday. Honestly? I dig it. Even with a tiny $2 million budget, the visuals are absolutely top-tier. The sets look incredible—like, seriously impressive. You can tell it was made by someone who actually gives a damn about filmmaking, rather than just some studio suit trying to grab a quick paycheck. That kind of passion really shows.

It’s got a bit of everything, and those trippy sequences? Definitely didn't disappoint. This is one of those movies I'm definitely revisiting once I finally upgrade my TV setup. It’s a total trip, and honestly, such a refreshing break from the usual garbage flooding theaters lately—you know, those soulless torture porn flicks, cheap ghost stories, low-budget POV trash, endless reboots, and all the other nonsense infecting modern cinema.

Look, don't get me wrong, it’s not exactly a masterpiece or anything, but compared to the junk being pumped out these days, it’s totally worth your time. The visual style carries the whole thing. The plot is a little thin, sure, but let’s be real—that’s not why you’re watching this anyway.

Am I the only one who’s constantly mixing up Insidious with Sinister?
