A steaming pile of Stallone.
For the past few years whenever I have watched something really bad is because I was forced to, by my friends or girlfriend, and I can blame them for it probably even shout a little or block them for a week or two, or try to feed them to my dog for the 100th time without him arguing against my wishes and destroying my belonging by licking or chewing the shit out of them (this dog is just an ass at times). What I'm trying to say is that getting mad at others just makes you happy there is a sort of faith that you have in yourself that it wasn't you who bought into…
This was almost unwatchable. I wanted to turn it off so many times. The writing is atrocious as well as the editing. Example, “hey show me how to fight” “ok after I get off work” literally the next shot is exactly that, with no exposition. There are so many problems and nothing of value to take away from this. Stallone has one emotion, anger, the kid couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag and the main villain is so over the top it’s cartoonish. There’s some god awful CG’s that are unacceptable, even in an early 90’s video game. Now for the positives. There were a couple of funny lines a few of which I’m sure weren’t intentionally meant to be and……….yep that’s it.
I’m gonna need an explanation for the scene of Stallone eating cereal with apple juice instead of milk like that’s a completely normal thing to do

A young boy learns that a superhero who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago may in fact still be around.
There was a time when this film would have worked extremely well for most audiences, even with its shortcomings. There is the occasional cheesy line or villainous celebration that will have you giggling, but the real issue here is how poorly it is able to bring it all together. The cgi is bad, the subplots are uninteresting, and the idea of giving these villains absolutely nothing to do is just odd. Anytime one opens their mouth is cause for concern, but the idea…
Good action would’ve saved this, or just something not entirely generic, but there’s nothing to be found here beyond a good concept ruined by almost every component being weak. Not sure why they keep alluding to a much cooler sounding legend instead of just telling that story. It makes room for an interesting surprise at the end I guess, but what does it matter if you’re bogging it down with a lame villain and half baked themes? I love Sly, everyone loves Sly, but you should just rewatch Unbreakable instead.

Filme wie „Samaritan“ zu gucken, hat neuerdings immer auch eine bittere Note. Zu wissen, dass das Stallone-Vehikel nach mehrfachen Verschiebungen nun gar nicht mehr im Kino läuft, sondern an die Streamer veräußert wurde, stimmt in zweierlei Hinsicht irgendwie missmutig. Einerseits weil Sylvester Stallone ein eigenes Kino-Superheldenepos gut gestanden hätte und möglicherweise gar einen zweiten (eher dritten) Frühling für dessen Karriere hätte einleiten können, anderseits aber weil so ein Streaming-Transfer auch immer die Message mitschwingen lässt - dem Film wird vom eigenen Studio im Kino kein wirklicher Erfolg zugetraut.
Dabei ist „Samaritan“ kein Totalausfall. Der Einstieg gelingt sogar richtig stark, weil die entschleunigte Freundschaft zwischen Samaritan und einem Nachbarsjungen aus der Perspektive des Kindes gezeigt wird. „Samaritan“ lässt…
ENGLISH BELOW
Man mag von Sylvester Stallone halten was man will, für mich ist er, neben Arnold Schwarzenegger, einer der ganz großen Actionstars meiner Kindheit und Jugend, den ich auch heutzutage noch immer sehr mag und von daher sind auch seine aktuellen Filme für mich zumindest immer noch einen Blick wert.
Stallone in allen Ehren, aber braucht die Welt gerade in der heutigen Zeit, in der gefühlt jede Woche ein neuer Superheldenfilm bzw. eine Superheldenserie rauskommt einen weiteren Superheldenfilm? Kann "Samaritan" dem Genere etwas besonders hinzufügen? Diese Frage kann man am besten mit JEIN beantworten.
Auf der einen Seite unterscheidet sich der Film schon deutlich vom üblichen Marvel Durchschnittsquatsch um auf der anderen Seite wieder alle üblichen Klischees zu bedienen.…
If I didn't know that Sylvester Stallone had been in a couple of James Gunn comic book movies, I would have assumed he had never heard of comic book movies, and wasn't sure what they were.
*Scenario*
Stallone is handed the script to Samaritan...and is blown away. "What a completely awesome and original idea. A man with super powers -- people are going to love it."
It's hard not to be cynical watching the heavy lore between Nemesis and Samaritan. The film's deep mythology is pretty thick. Some heart went into this, but it does seem 20 years too late. That being said - I didn't hate it. It's a completely watchable and an entertaining junkyard fable.
One of my most anticipated films for 2022 finally comes out this week & I wanted more from it… The #Samaritan isn’t bad but it isn’t great either.. Julius Avery does his best with the script handed to him & Stallone really brings a lot to this role.. but I left feeling nothing
The movies still good for what it is! But the potential is everywhere! The action was fun but felt like it was edited down from an R Rating & the script really needed some work down. Overall if you want a good time this weekend you’ll find it here but you won’t leave loving it
What if we made a superhero movie, but dark? Groundbreaking.
The script feels like it was computer generated with Stallone uttering inane dialogue and guttural screams in attempt to distract you from the bland action. Why is this PG-13? Have Stallone rip some arms off and this gets a hundred times more entertaining.
At least there’s an attempt at something original, but it’s very much in the same vein as something like Hancock. Studios hoping to make a quick buck off our superhero obsessed culture.
The latest superhero action movie on Amazon Prime was notably flawed. A 13-year-old boy suspects his quiet neighbor/garbage man, Joe Smith, is the legendary Samaritan (Sylvester Stallone) who was gone after a huge battle 20 years ago. He hopes the Samaritan can come out of hiding to save his crime-ridden city. Stallone was coasting through this. I thought the main kid who was from Euphoria was fine. Everyone else was playing generic goons. The film doesn't seem to know its audience, bouncing between family-friendly and mature. Also, they constantly change rules like the blackout bombs were supposed to shut off electronics but conveniently everyone can still use their phone to record Smith saving a kid. It also took so long to build up the relationship between the two leads. The villain's motivation was weak and the visuals were horrible. And it’s filled with bad fight choreography. Not a lot worked in this film.
