Everything Everywhere All At Once has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, will be seeing that in theaters next week.
A character Jenny Slate and her (now ex) husband created a while back. Pretty sure they made an animated short that won some awards. It was semi-popular.
I didn’t enjoy Everything Everywhere All At Once. At times I was thinking, “When is this going to be over?” It was also much too silly just to be silly. I love silly but it just felt forced, which maybe was the point? I dunno. I’m sure it’s right up most people’s alleys and I’m in the minority on this one. Just not my kind of thing.
I saw it the other night and I don't understand how both the critics and audience reviews were so good. It seemed like it wanted to be a deep movie, but the humor was too slapstick for me. If you don't find the jokes funny in the first 10 minutes you're probably not going to enjoy the next 2 hours because it was the same stuff over and over again. I got bored with it pretty fast.
Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm probably still going to see it but I might pull my expectations back quite a bit after reading this.
I fucking loved everything everywhere all at once. Genuinely think it’s one of the best times I’ve had in a theater in a while
Yeah I keep telling friends it’s the best movie I’ve seen in 2 years and they think I’m overhyping… then each one sees it and agrees
I probably agree but that’s also bc horror hasn’t been all that great in awhile, outside of Hereditary
as someone who does not like the marvel movies or superhero movies, I fear I will recoil from this movie.
Marvel bores me and my feelings on this one are conflicting. Strong, emotional components that felt kind of cheapened by overly stylized action sequences, trying too hard to be weird and broad, generic humor. Really feel like this script made on a smaller, indie scale without Russo's input could have been amazing.
Title literally says "blockbuster level" even if it wasn't made with that type budget/production team, it was made to feel that way. Watching that I guess their intentions were always to have a Marvel-ish movie not the producers interfering
they are saying that bc of the lack of people who worked on it, whereas "blockbuster level" means VFX teams that have huge gigantic lists in the credits which is what they said in that video
they talk extensively about making it have the feel of several blockbuster type films despite having no budget and used tricks they learned from making music videos. Watching that they fully were trying to make the movie have a bigger feel, which is another way of saying blockbuster
the story is about crossing multiverses, so im not sure how they tell that story without the scope it requires
I saw a tik tok today saying that Brittany Snow sings Landslide by Fleetwood Mac in the movie X and it’s incredible
Lotsa eye candy in the movie - definitely delivered in that regard. Probably over-delivered if I'm being honest. Those who have seen the movie know what I'm talking about.
X was good for what it was. Idk about declaring it the best horror movie over the last couple of years. It Scary Movie’d Texas Chainsaw in a really great and more serious way. Haven’t watched anything as it pertains to Everything. I have high hopes for what an indie flick can do to put a dent in the nonstop remakes and comic-book recycling.
I ain’t even seen that shit but I bet it’s way better than you make it out to be. I ain’t tryna watch a Kurosawa horror movie
Scary movie is a comedic spoof. X is not that. It’s a terrible comparison. My liking of X is also bc so much horror of the last 10 or so years is just not all that great.
Disagree that it’s a terrible comparison. And I think its reference to Psycho is a nod of the head to the fact that they’re messing with the genre as a whole.
You can’t say it did “Scary Movie but serious”. The whole point of Scary Movie is that it’s not serious and it’s just a spoof. You’re doing a “lamb and tuna fish”
Spoiler When your lead actor doubles as a geriatric. And has a geriatric sex scene. I think it’s safe to say there’s some spoofing going on within the genre. The movie was over the top and I don’t think tried to shy away from that fact.
Okay, saw EEAAO today. It was good - quite good, in fact - but soooooo long. So long!! It had so much going for it and some fun performances, but what the makers of the film needed to understand was that, with a film this dense and packed wall to wall with action and entertainment, less is more. It is draining to be continuously pummelled for the last 2 hours with tightly cut action scene after scene. I'd happily say that if this was 30 minutes shorter, it would probably be the best movie this year, and comfortably so. But so many scenes blended into one in my head that I'm struggling to remember a lot of what happened. It was just too much of too much - I normally never look at the time during movies, but was horrified when I checked and saw there was still over an hour left. That said, I'm looking forward to getting it on Blu Ray and enjoying it more the 2nd time, much like Joker. It's a damn fine film - there's just too much of it.
