I went to this movie to see DeNiro and DiCaprio work magic on the screen with the great Scorsese at the helm, my most favorite director next to DePalma, but instead I was given a very long and drawn out morality lesson. A very one-sided morality lesson at that, with the moral being “white man bad for no reason.” It all amounts to nothing about half-way through it, and then you’re stuck with that ugly actress that Scorsese (supposedly, I don’t buy it) loved so much that he just HAD to have her, and he casted aside all other applicants. Perhaps old age and the current backwards trends that are popular in Hollywood got the best of him, and he paid for it. This movie did not perform well. I am very disappointed with the entire cast of this movie and don’t understand why it was ever even made…I strongly recommend avoiding this movie. It deserves half a star.

It’s a fun game but the story is lacking. I only played the first mission, and it took a couple hours of exploration and being tactical to complete it. The bullet cams and sniping are a lot of fun. Im not liking the Scottish black woman and her seemingly lesbian french companion characters in the game though. The dialogue is so vapid and 2D that it just comes off as an arcade game for kids. “We gotta get the bad guys, let’s do this.” The main character looks like a dude from back then at least, but he talks like he wishes he was a 1980’s action movie star.

This movie is terrible, don’t waste your time.

I’ve always liked John Woo movies, but this one just isn’t worth watching. It’s like a Christmas themed, poorly written copy of “Death Sentience,” where it’s attempting to be artistic with its blatant simplicity and theme of “silence,” where everyone rarely speaks. Often throughput the movie, people are completely silent during scenes and closeups. (Get it!? Because it’s called SILENT NIGHT!!!) It’s almost intentionally corny and cliche, almost intentionally ripping themes from other movies with a similar format. Movies such as Death Sentence or Taxi Driver being the first that come to mind, which this movie clearly was trying to reference or emulate, but it just comes off as copying those movies themes and elements, poorly…with some peppermint spice sprinkles on top.

Another comic show that attempts to introduce mature themes into a child oriented genre, but falls short. Everything about the show just seems shamelessly stollen from what’s already been done in the comic book genre before, such as the powers, abilities, personalities, and costumes. I honestly don’t understand what people are liking about it. It’s like you ordered Marvel off of Wish, and pretend it’s somehow original or better…neglecting the fact that Marvel wasn’t anything to write home about to begin with. You copied something stupid, and made it political.

I love watching this show with my wife. It’s clever, lighthearted, entertaining, and funny. I watch it in Korean with subtitles (which my wife doesn’t need because she speaks Korean) and we’re always laughing and smiling during every episode. The scenery around Korea and the places Woo goes are beautiful, and the Korean culture comes through so much that the show makes me want to go to Korea.

Rather than waste a lot of time writing how much this show sucks, I’ll just say it’s some of the worst writing and dialogue I’ve ever seen in a show. Are these characters supposed to be likable or cool? There’s nothing cool about it, except maybe that the lead actress was in “The Matrix” a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I know one thing, and it’s that this paragraph took longer to write than the time it took to write this show.

I really don’t understand how anyone finds this guy funny

It was ok. Not as good as Fury Road, but pretty entertaining at times. Pretty damn boring and pointless at other times. I wondered when the movie would end because it just loses steam after a while. The bizarro world of Mad Max is a bit much to get into in this one, like when you see maggots being eaten off of corpses in one scene, or a secluded land of Amazon women living in bliss fighting off “men” from horseback with perfect accuracy. Gunfights are poorly executed both in the firearms they chose and how they’re used. It’s just not entertaining to watch these little battles. For example you could have Furiosa whip a rifle behind her head and fire backwards with her eyes closed in a scene, hit 3 people with one shot, and it wouldn’t be far from how the gunfights go. They all just swing clean and modern guns around nailing everything with perfect accuracy and the bad guys just leap into the bullets like a campy Chuck Norris/Steven Seagal movie.

This game is fantastic. One of the best storylines of any game in my opinion, only outshined by its predecessor. It’s like playing a Scorsese movie, where every line is delivered with intent and enthusiasm. The clarity and draw distance of the game is noticeable better. If you play the original on 360 on a 4K tv like I have, it’s blurry and pixelated. This game fixes that and looks much better. It’s not a perfect remaster though, cutting away some details that made the game so flawless back in 2010. For one, the eyes are weird and sometimes look elsewhere during cutscenes like an autistic child, ruining the cinematic, character driven cutscenes. The clothing is also static now, and no longer flows in the wind and reacts to your movements. This causes glitches in cutscenes too, and ruins the immersion. Long coats cling to your legs rather than swing freely as you walk and run around now too, which is lazy. It almost makes me just want to fire up the 360 again. Gunplay is surprisingly better now, and recoil is reduced. The reticle provides a tighter grouping of shots and guns are easier to control including the shotgun, which was pretty much garbage in the original release. The shotgun now has a tighter reticle, allowing it to actually be useful in gunfights. Landing one-shots with it consistently is much easier, and ever other firearm is much easier to use.
