This might be the worse thing the MCU has ever done. Cringe Whedonesque dialogue. Putting a side character at best into the main role. Totally ignoring the much superior comic for a story that was just lazy writing. I get more entertained at wiping my own ass. Fuck Marvel and fuck Disney. Feige needs to be fired. So does Tom Breevort.

I keep hearing great things, but I can sum this up so you dont waste time. European idiots let their clearly vampire father kill them all. The end.

You would think with the pieces here that something new could have been concocted from it, but instead you have another retread MCU origin story that is like 10 others. Didn't really expect much. I'm honestly not the audience for this. But I watch it, wondering, who is?

Mediocre film at best. The Brutalist and Conclave were robbed, and it proves yet again that the Academy doesn't know what is good. I don't know why I continue to watch The Oscars. This year yet again shows it is a popularity contest, and not a place where we reward the top of the arts. Other movies have done this story much better. If I wanted to spend 2 hours watching people yell at each other, I'd just quit my job and go work in a kitchen again. Not a bad movie, but not deserving of all its praise. Now to wait for next year so I can see how disappointed I'll be. Yay torture for the love of film. As someone in the industry it is almost sacrilege to not.

As usual, Cillian Murphy is just fantastic. I found myself questioning the focus of long close ups with very distinct and loud sounds, but given time it becomes apparent that this was a choice by the director and dp. They want you to be ever present especially in still moments because those style choices inform the trauma that Murphy is experiencing along with these poor girls. Fantastic film.

There is set up here that would have made for maybe not a great series, but the second half of this film (I use the term loosely), especially the 3rd act, was almost unwatchable. I want to ask Shyamalan if he has ever seen a human reaction at any point in his life. And let's be honest...nepotism doesn't me you have talent. You'd ask at least that for the price of admission. This movie is painfully flawed, as every new film in Shyamalan's lackluster output it. This is the kind of movie that makes me feel dumber for having watched it.

This man was a gift on the level of Fred Rogers. A beautiful way to sum up a beautiful human.

I've known the Von Erich story but actually seeing it just breaks my heart. Those poor people. And what a great way to express and expose the story of the "Von Erich' curse. One of the best movies I've seen all year. I'm a life long wrestling fan but you don't need to be to feel the tragedy and loss. I would rate this up with The Wrestler.

My gripes are minor. I wish they would have embraced Davd Mack's art style. It looks basically like Rez Dogs but for Marvel. That said I enjoyed the story. As a waseechu I'm always interested in learning more about the red road. It mashed those elements well within an interesting if not always an overly impressive story. The cast was great and the cameos made it feel well within the world of the MCU, which so many of their recent shows failed at. I just feel they dropped the ball on a major stylistic touch.

Joaquin Phoenix... excellent actor... horrible Napoleon. This movie is proof yet again that Ridley Scott's best years are far behind him. It was a great disappointment for a historical treasure trove to be presented in this jumbled mess of Hollywood glad handing and empty value. The thing that once made Scott stand out, his battle scenes, are little more than fanciful grandstanding and empty opulence. Napoleon deserved better.
