This movie was a success before its pre-production stage.
If it's great: Amazing redemption story
If it's really bad: No one's going to be disappointed. Hell, people wanted this to suck!
It was a sure win no matter how you take it.
Truth is, this movie is all over the place and if it didn't have Sestero's and Wisaueauea's name on it, no one would ever watch it.
There a saying that goes: "The only thing worse than a 1/5 movie is a 2/5 movie". This is a 2/5 movie.
Visually enthralling, consistently laugh-out-loud funny and loud in its intentions and messages, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU is a great directorial debut by Boots Riley. accompanied with a beautiful performance by Lakeith Stanfield (whom I've been a fan of ever since SHORT TERM 12).
Its surreal aesthetic, that many people raved about, is indeed captivating. Never boring and always managing to offer something new. I read a review that described it as "Brazil for the 21st century" and I'd say is…
The thing that made "The Man from Earth" so popular and loved despite its lack of budget and general flaws is that its main focus was the "game" between the lovable characters. A no-budget sci-fi "12 Angry Men" with some philosophy sprinkled on top. Religion only became a part of it during the third act and it was handled as the big "twist". It was a charming, quiet, funny and mysterious little movie.
What this sequel does, is take everything…
"I thought this was 150 minutes, where's the rest 60 minutes?"
That was my first thought when "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" ended, I honestly could not believe this insane ride was already over.
I'm struggling to remember a more adrenaline-inducing third act in an action film and the closest I got was Mad Max: Fury Road. And, honestly, I dare say Fallout surpassed what was one of the most action-packed movies ever made.
I saw all previous five Mission Impossible…
