Priscilla - Movie Review (No Spoiler)
Well the popcorn 🍿 was good
This movies was trash. The first half was good. Then they just drop everything and we get nothing.
Saw it yesterday my wife fell asleep, 2 people walked out after 40 minutes and the remaining 12 people we all chatter on the way out and no one had a good thing to say
This movie was Terrifier meets Pinocchio meets the Nun. Pour on some Ambien gravy to top it off. Garbage. Nic Cage must have spent all of 2 weeks on this. Massively over -hyped and reviewed positively by paid shills. Worst movie I have seen in years. Don't get duped like I did to pay and see this.
Time to buy bigger T-shirts dude.
yeah, I’ve retired this one
Finally a sensible review.
thanks, appreciate that
Too hot for horror. Keep cool
This guy is a loser for spoiling stuff.
what did I spoil?
Suffer
Too much spoiler man
what did I spoil? I tried to be as vague as possible?
Saw this comment and immediately clicked out of it smh
B is good.
it’s a pretty good movie. there was stuff I didn’t like it about it but mostly it does what it’s supposed to do really well.
You gave a perfect review of this movie. It coulda been great, shoulda been great but it was just a well acted pile of “meh”. I was so pumped when those giallo black gloves appeared but they squandered the plot with a slew of crap tangents and a cringe af finale.
thanks man, appreciate it
saw you on the Moviechat forum and will sub to your channel. I just finished EILEEN and was not thrilled unfortunately.
Fix your audio, the constant humming is annoying
I just saw horizon just yesterday. I really liked it! It shows the true hardships these people had back in those days.
yeah, I think these movies could really be something. hope people at least give the second one a chance to prove itself more
This a B couldn’t stop laughing
it was fine, not on the level of the first
Thanks for summarizing the review in the first sentence. I will agree
Awww damn and I had high hopes for this film. Hopefully Longlegs meets my expectations and scares the shit out of me
yeah, very surprised this didn;t work as well as it did
@@CraigJamesReview323 Well a trilogy always has to have a weak link and just so happens, this was the weakest link
I’d be willing to give it a look
Yeah it was OK. Not trash, not gonna remember it in a couple of weeks, but seeing Axel again was fun. Murphey's best recent movie is still Dolemite though
Craig James has nailed this review. I only state this because I fully agree with his positive review. The opening scene is a settler hammering a house marker stake into red ant infested soil near a river bank. This disruption of nature, through the Natives' eyes, who were stealthy viewing from afar, may have contributed to the settlers' deaths moments later. Seeing the ants, then the corpse bugs ravaging the adult body a few scenes later was the attention to detail that set the stage for this film. This was a 3-hour tour de force of master film making. Certainly under appreciated so far, this movie should eventually claim its status as a masterpiece in the years to come. I personally feel this is A+ work for a Chapter 1 entry. I asked myself, how could Costner have made this better... and there was no answer. This film is truly remarkable and everyone will have their own opinions of this motion picture art piece. Kevin should be extremely proud to have his name attached to this work. I certainly would be.
he made the movie his way and I feel he has a lot of ideas he's trying to get to. the impatient may not like this movie right now but I really cant wait to see what happens here given time.
My friend and I watched the film together last night, and we both have significantly different views on why one loved the movie and the other felt like it lacked (I believe the film lacked). SPOILERS AHEAD... So, the themes of the "A Quiet Place" movies essentially boil down to family. The stories are told in a big world while focusing on a small group. Now, the marketing for this movie is why I think it has gotten mixed reviews as of its release date. This film showcased the FIRST DAY of the new world, and we kind of skip over that (now bear with me). When the aliens arrive, there is a cloud of smoke that fills the streets and surrounds Lupita's character, Sam; this builds tension because Sam doesn't know what is happening; the audience does because we have seen the monsters in previous movies, and it was at this point that I believe the film started to fail for me. During this scene, Sam tries to understand what is happening but cannot see anything. She runs, hides, finds someone staying quiet, sits with them and watches an individual calling out for help in the nearby distance who gets killed by the monsters. She then gets up and runs for her life, and an explosion knocks her back to a wall, and she goes unconscious. The title card reveals the movie's name, and we wake up to everyone understanding that they need to be quiet. What I believe would have been more enjoyable when she was in the cloud of smoke is instead of having an explosion knock her out, have us, the audience, experience the world going quiet with Sam. During a moment when you cannot see anything, we could essentially be in the shoes of the monsters while still following our protagonist, which would be a POV we have never explored (this would have been something new to contribute to the films). During this moment, it's loud and chaotic; with each passing second, the decibels get lower and lower because the monsters attack and destroy anything that makes a sound. This would have been an exciting way to showcase to our character that sounds affect the creatures. It felt cheap that Sam had to be "told" not to speak or make sounds. Day One should have been about the characters adapting to the new setting and how they must learn to survive these new predators that have invaded Earth. While the story of Sam going to get pizza fits the theme of a small story set in a big world that a quiet place is known for, the marketing for this movie did not do that storyline justice. If you go over the trailers, they continue to show us this idea that we will be viewing a story of two unlucky characters who get caught in an unbelievably horrific position, and the whole time thinking, how will they escape? If you are someone like me who has watched the previous movies before seeing this one, you already know the monster's weakness; you know they can't swim, that higher frequency sounds can cause them grief and run away, and that loud noises can trump minor sounds. What I expected to see in this film was these survival tactics being learned by the two main characters. There is a great scene in the film where our two characters, Sam and Eric, are in a tunnel being flowed down by a rapid stream of water, and the monster chases them on the ceiling. Brilliant tension, and I, for a moment, forgot that these monsters couldn't swim. As the water gets higher, the monster is caught in it and unfortunately drowns; right there, our characters learn the monsters cannot swim and must go to a boat on the water to escape. This way of showcasing should have been prominent throughout the entire movie. There is a scene when it starts raining, and this would be interesting because we have yet to see what happens with the monsters when environmental factors are considered. Two characters are out in the streets and come up to this metal roof where the noise of the rain trumps the characters' voices, which are kept at a low volume. Sam suddenly looks up at the roof, becomes really smart, and starts talking (at a low volume), saying their voice won't be heard because the rain would be louder, but all I could think was, how could she possibly know that? We have never been told that. These characters have yet to be shown that this is even remotely possible. Again, to me, it felt cheap. They told the audience instead of show. The first movie did this as well, but they at least showed this effect by having the little boy scream at the top of his lungs at the waterfall and us being positioned so far away that we could barely hear him over the waterfall. For the scene in the rain for Day One, what would have been better was if they had the monsters close by and either one of the characters made a mistake dropping something or pushing something over, making a sound, but the monsters don't notice it because it's drowned out by the rain. This, again, would've been a way to showcase how our characters could have a chance at survival against these creatures. On top of that, learning they could talk while it was raining and decided to go find shelter was the loudest "HUH?" I had ever said out loud in a theatre. Again, I know the story centred around Sam wanting to get pizza as a last wish, but even then, to minimize the potential danger of being killed by the monsters, they should have walked the streets of New York during that weather! Overall, the movie is crafted well with its storyline IF the marketing was better handled to showcase the story they told rather than the one we were expecting. The trailers showed a fast-paced, scary horror, which didn't fit the themes of the past two movies, where characters are going to be put in positions that help us (the audience) learn how the characters of a quiet place 1&2 learn the skills and tactics to survive 400 days after Day One. I was expecting something different, which excited me, but this movie was the same thing we had seen before, with cheap ways of telling us how they survive and not actually showing us. Quick note... The first time my friend and I saw the group of monsters crawling around New York at terrifying speeds was extremely fun! It was a solid movie, but the first two were miles ahead on rating scores because they knew what stories they wanted to tell and what audiences they wanted to attract. 6/10.
I thought this movie was excellent ..but im a huge western fan
Just saw it tonight 🔥 I say 7/10 and great introduction but pretty middle tier ending and fast counter paste start
6/10 for me. first half better than the second; I agree
I walked out halfway through. This movie bombed!
I thought it was ok. not on the level of some of the past films other than maybe the Tim Burton one
Le brave homme de yellowstone❤nous attendons son son nouveau et precieux parfum❤horizon❤zohra zohra
Yellowstone fan…can’t wait to see it
🤢🤮
Seen the movie Tom Hardy great actor problem with the movie same old nothing special 3out 5
Watch Brothers in arms, Bikie wars. You will like it.
Hard to drum up any interest in a biker movie. To each his own I guess
Thanks for the review. I think I'll skip this one.
I heard the entire movie was just will smith sitting in a corner watching his wife being gaped by his sons friends. 3 hours of this.
Oh shut up.
You’re literally the ONLY person on RUclips badmouthing this movie
Saw this movie the other nite .should of stayed home ...horrible movie ..not one good quality .....one of the worst movies ive ever watched
Not exactly a feel good movie for a summer weekend
You should see "The Strangers" so.
I liked it that's all the f*** that counts. People told me the Blair Witch Project was a good film I never listened to those people again.
Great talk bro, bit of feedback… can’t wait for you to get a teleprompter as you were more engaged with your script on camera right
hey, thanks for the feedback man. I had a computer off to the side that I was going to to remember what to say next. I hoped it wasn't so bad but I guess maybe it is. will have to think about that
Looks like a copyright placeholder film.
Thanks for watching. I'd love to hear your feedback on the movie or even the review itself. I'm trying to improve, so it comes as much appreciated.
Dam Schwarzenegger, did u just finish pumping iron and Hercules in ny???? ....lol
I can’t get excited about monkey movies
Correction: I just realized I called Kevin Durand, Kyle Durand. I apologize
Thanks for saving me the cost of admission
💘 "promosm"
How many white congress women did that in congress ? And if they did how come no one pointed that out , it’s really sad how after people die you can find out a lot about them
Bro pls know the director !!!
I think a B+ is definitely an earned grade for this movie. That's essentially where I landed at as well. This movie was impressive especially for a directorial debut. Really good review, Craig! You're really good at stating what you like about a movie and why.
thanks, I really appreciate that. glad you liked the movie. it’s a fantastic showcase for Patel and I’m really hoping we get more of this from him
Hey. Can you please review some older comedy movies? Like... See Spot Run, Dude Where's My Car, Scooby-Doo (2002) and stuff...
I'm confused by the plotline you describe. I thought Damien was born of a Jackal. So why are they going on about who is his mother?
it’s pretty much why I don’t believe this movie’s plot holds up to scrutiny at all.
Bro you big asf lol
thanks
Hanuman is a Tollywood film (Telugu language_ South India ) , it was released in multiple languages so don't mistake it to be of Bollywood.
i mean its okay but we all should call it as indian cinema
Thanks for the clarification. I still occasionally confuse the two
