  Review by Paulo ½ 18

  So, let’s get real up in here.

  We have four main characters, three are poc, and the only one that isn’t a stereotype is the white kid, okay...

  Then, we have a scene that is allegedly supposed to be a sexual oral act between an alien and a CHILD, riiiiiight...

  AND THEN, there’s this whole scene where a conversation between kids, turns out to be about who’s gonna sleep a.k.a implying to have sex with the girl, who is a child also, hmm what?... 

  This is bad, this is the bad place people, if it wasn’t for the poorly script, the rapist jokes, the sexual insinuation between kids, this could’ve been a cute, nice, fresh, really fun family action movie, what a big fucking miss.

  And with all those sex jokes coming out those 13 year olds mouths, lord have mercy...

  *inserts i’m disgusted gif here*

  "It's pissed about its dog. You ever watched Marley and me or Beethoven? It's a primal bond. It's out for revenge. Ask John Wick."

  DOZENS OF FUNNY MOVIE REFERENCES, ABSOLUTELY 80s VIBES, BUT TERRIBLE CGI IN THE NEWEST NETFLIX ORIGINAL

  
  Hi everybody, even if the trailer loks like nothing special, I had a lot of fun with this highly dumb but entertaining movie. There you have a good example that a 2 minute trailer sometimes can't represent 90 minutes enough to have a good impression what to expect. The trailer to last weeks released "See you yesterday" looked awesome but like I said in the review the result was not nearly as satisfying. Exactly the…

  Review by Mister Cap ★★ 2

  "Rim of the World" dreht sich um vier, von Kopf bis Fuß in Adidas-Klamotten gehüllte Kindleins, die mal wieder die Welt retten müssen. Die Vier treffen sich in einem Sommerlager, als Außerirdische die Welt angreifen und natürlich liegt es in den Händen dieser vier Kinder, die Welt zu retten.

  Die Kids im Film sind zirka 12 Jahren alt und die Geschichte wird wahrscheinlich auch keinen Zuschauer über diesem Alter begeistern können. Ich kann den Film aber nicht wirklich für Kinder empfehlen, da das Drehbuch merkwürdigerweise endlose sexuelle Anspielungen und Schimpfwörter aufweist, die den Film für Kinder zu vulgär und unpassend machen. Für alle über 12, sind die sexuellen Anspielungen aber einfach nur peinlich.

  Darüber hinaus ist die Handlung sehr vorhersehbar,…

  Netflix: "Ok guys Stranger Things is doing amazing, but how can we take its much-loved formula and really make it tedious?"

  McG: "Hiya"

  You know what EMP is?
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s the music white people dance to.
  That’s EDM.

  Das war der einzige Gag, über den ich lachen musste. Minute 22 - von 99. Es ist schon goldig, wie McG immer wieder versucht, die eigene Kindheit, die Kindheit seiner Zuschauer, diverse Ziel- oder Fangruppen oder eben andere Filme auszuschlachten. Es ist um so trauriger, dass ihm das immer wieder so wenig gut gelingt. Und im Falle von diesen „Stranger Independence Day Things“ finde ich es sogar richtig ärgerlich. Dabei wollte ich fair bleiben. 4 „Problemkids“ im Sommerlager, allein gegen eine Alien-Invasion - das wäre früher etwas gewesen, dass ich fasziniert aufgesaugt hätte, ohne es zu hinterfragen. Einfach rein und gut. Selbst ein…

  I don’t see many (especially on Letterboxd) loving this movie; or even liking it. It’s not a film made for our age group and that’s obvious. But something about it made me flash back to when I was a kid. I feel like if I would have watched this at the right age; I would have absolutely loved it. The dialogue isn’t very good. The storytelling is also pretty bad. But it holds enough “fun for the family” to make me look at it and see the elements of fun. Maybe I am overlooking the obvious flaws. A lot of those flaws come down to McG as a filmmaker. He’s just…

  Terribly stupid.
  Fucking ugly.
  Some of the worst performances I have seen in the last few years.
  Racist as hell.
  The worst CGI of the century.
  Product placement from hell.
  Tons of bad movie references.
  Stupid screenplay.
  Did I mention the terrible special effects? Yes? Well, it can not be said often or loud enough.
  Gets worse with every single second.

  Seriously, avoid this movie.

  Review by Nicholas Faron ½

  You got to be fucking kidding me. Seriously, what the fuck.

  Sexist, racist, rape and sex jokes all involving kids surrounding the girl that's also a kid. The direction is non-existent, the special effects look like shit, the action is boring, the acting is ass, and the characters are all stereotypes.

  Even on Netflix standards. This film was something different, something so atrociously awful that it makes it hard to put into words.

  Review by FakeRobHunter ★½

  Makes me want to have kids just so I can insist they don't watch this.

  The jokes are bad, the black and Asian stereotypes are egregious, the idea that the girl has to have a love interest is insulting, and it's ultimately dumb as fuck. I get that it's a riff on kid-friendly adventures from the 80s, but that's no excuse.

  And seriously, the 7/11 joke is just tasteless. (It's also nonsensical as the same kid who doesn't know 9/11 *does* know Werner fucking Herzog? Dumb.)
