    I just watched it and came across this RUclips video. My opinion about the movie is this: bad story writing, distorted and inaccurate historical narration, unsuccessful and exaggerated theatrical bad acting, events and ceremonies that cannot be applied in practice in Roman history, bad editing. Mescal is very bland, there is no character depth. The man's wife was murdered a week ago and he is walking around throughout the movie grinning at his friends' stupid jokes. The man's facial expressions had nothing to do with the scenes he played. There are also those who shamelessly say that Denzel will be nominated for an Oscar with this movie, but I can't find anything to say :))) (I'm keeping Pedro separate.) I have watched B-class movies before, which were of better quality but did not make a splash because they had a lower budget. This was pure torture for these eyes, which had previously watched the Gladiator 1, ROME TV series and Spartacus. Fast forward to now and I finished it in an hour. I'm glad I didn't pay at the cinema.

    To be honest Gladiator didn't need a sequel. However said, it was an entertaining movie. Nowhere near as good as Gladiator but that is understandable as few sequels can ever be as good. Maximus being the central character in Gladiator was masculine, strong and a leader. Nowadays they don't want to portray this image of men without women being equal. Strength and honour. The best character in This movie was Denzel, he really gave his character meaning. I enjoyed it overall but videos like this often make us look deeper but don't put me off it.

    I think you definitely hit the nail on the head with the story and the way it was handled, especially regarding how it was clearly made for both kids and adults. Funnily enough, that was the entire point of making this movie. The Bay films had taken the franchise to a place that was really made for older fans...but were so poorly made by the end that they ultimately appealed to no one. Transformers One was a fresh attempt to bring humor and a new origin story for the younger generation to hook onto the franchise, but at the same time gave a lot of callouts and references that old-school fans would pick up on and enjoy. It has its lighthearted moments, but as you said, also darker and more impactful moments that show that the story is really here to show the complex dynamic that connects Optimus and Megatron, what made them the people they are today, and how this can then set up a potential new universe to play with in the future. I don't know if this new interpretation of the classic Transformers universe is going to stick, but at the very least, the movie is fantastic and a true love letter to all Transformers fans, old and new alike.~

    I loved the performances and the direction that Todd Phillips and Joaquin Pheonix decided to go with the character of Arthur with having him face the consequences of his actions and battle with his identity through them. The challenges placed on Arthur both felt subversive and yet cohesive with where we last saw him in 2019’s Joker. However, the lame musical sequences, thin story, and off-putting ending bog this movie down tremendously! Still, I have not stopped thinking about since I left the theatre, and that is worth something in my opinion. Great review!

      I think both movies are better than you give them credit for, but kudos for being one of the very few youtube reviewers that didn't ride the hate wave for views and actually went into the theater with an open mind and enough patience to at least enjoy its ups and get the gist of what the author was trying to do. Your review is fair, and that's all that matters. Just my two cents: the musical scenes are jarring on purpose, to show all the conflicting emotions on Arthur's head, and the words sung actually do represent what the characters (at least Arthur for sure) feel and think. Maybe, like you said, there are some latent emotional aspects that are not represented on many numbers (like Arthur's increasing lack of trust of Lee's intentions) but I feel they are still subliminally evoked through the doom and dark sounds of the symphonic score that appears here and there and many times even interrupts the singing numbers. I do agree the courtroom drama is a bit tedious, but I think that's exactly the point, the audience oughta feel the same lack of comfort Arthur does, given it's a psychological type of thriller film. The first one is also very dependant on Arthur's mental state, so that's another consistent element that carries onto the sequel.

    After watching that juvenile slop called 'DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE', 'MEGALOPOLIS' is an artistic revelation. Coppola catered to this vision for the last 25 years plus and it showed. It was bold, audacious and in some parts psychedelic. Yes, it was a long in certain sections but the overall creative arc was outstanding. Yes, it's not for the masses because sublimely it touches upon The Tower of Babel, Greed, Lust, Anarchy, Power and The Architecture of the Mind,...so believe me, not everyone is going to get into this movie. However, what Coppola and that cast and crew conveyed was that art, commerce, culture and creativity can be used to hopefully uplift and elevate the human mind and thinking and by creating and financing 'MEGALOPOIS' on his own, FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA has certainly done that. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

    • @shhimwatching
      @shhimwatching Месяц назад

      Thing is Deadpool & Wolverine IS juvenile, and it knows it is. It's dumb, turn your mind off fun that delivers on a fan made promise. Does what it says on the tin, like or not, it's coherent even if it is simplistic. With Megalopolis the overall expectation was of quality and class cinema. Coppola directed some cinematic masterpieces. As I said, some of it is amazing visually, some incredible set pieces, and one or two scenes of conviction and stunning creativity. But when the whole is a mind jangling mess, full of preening pretentious gobbledygook that gives off the most hideous vibe, coupled with some horrendous effects, inconsistent world building, and some of the worst acting I've seen in years, then sorry, nothing can save this for me. Honestly respect anyone getting a kick out of it for being wild and different, totally get it, I try to see all sides in my reviewing, but at the end of the day it's my opinion I voice, and it wasn't for me.

      I’ve heard that so many people walked out. Our screening only had 5 people including me in, everyone stayed, but even I felt the urge to give up at one point.

      Not at all. It made me laugh a lot, just not for the right reasons 🤣

    This could have been such a great concept, it’s a shame parts of it were so hammed up! 😂
