The visual effects and destruction/battle sequences were really fantastic and looked incredible. Suffers from too many under developed human subplots and eye rolling logic I couldn't quite suspend my disbelief for. Still quite a bit of fun.
Podcast review on The Obsessive Viewer will come out probably tomorrow.
Surprised how much I enjoyed this. Who would've thought that giving ample time to develop characters and actually have some villain motivations explained would make for an enjoyable comic book movie?
Having said that, it's a Zack Snyder movie and I honestly just don't think his style is for me. The crazy dark lighting in every goddamn scene just wears a bit thin and I really wish someone would introduce him to a decent fight choreographer so he doesn't rely…
First time seeing it since the theater and I'm surprised to find I liked it quite a bit more than I remember. Solid monster movie.
Rewatched to record a commentary track for my Patreon.
I was pretty forgiving of this movie the first time I saw it. While I still respect some of the visuals and jumps into surreal visions, as an overall movie, it just didn't really hold up that well.
I love the concept (and dig the novella as well), but the movie takes this confused "lost in supernatural nature" concept and rides it pretty hard into slight convoluted territory.
For an hour and 40 minute movie, it also takes far too long to get moving.
Still, it has some cool visuals and a couple slightly fun moments.
Marriage Story blew me away. The performances are astounding. There's a scene between Driver and Johansson late in the film that packs such a punch that I'll be thinking about it for a while.
