I'm also disappointed Mark wasn't here to rip it to shreds. But Robbie is very good. I like him
Shame about that article about Suicide Squad he wrote.
Shame about Suicide Squad
HeyTray1 did you actually read that article? He legitimately compared Batman's actions towards Harley akin to a rapist. That's not journalism, that's regressive left poison.
+Alextromagnetic Who cares?
It's just an opinion with which you disagree. calm.
No joke. This dethroned Transformers 2 and is my new personal worst film of all time.
The message they are trying to give is beautiful. Great cast but terriblely written.
@@vajidalishah3595 the message is that there is joy in everything, I supposed. However I find almost insulting how they use dead children to emotionally manipulate us, what does it have to do with collateral beauty? What's the point to tell to a mother who's losing her daughter that there is a collateral beauty? And then she sees it but it has nothing to do with her daughter? To me it is a very confusing (and confused concept). The film Arrival makes a way clearer point: the pain for losing a child is not as deed as the love they gave. What is the point here?
What is this, some kind of Collateral Beauty?
No Kermode this week, eh? I love Robbie, but I would have enjoyed a Kermodian rant on this one.
As much as I relate to your sentiment, this comment is becoming the stock commentary when Mark isn't about.
I guess. This week I had particularly looked forward to this review though.
This would've been perfect Kermode rant material.
Robbie is a pretty good ranter himself. I loved his review of Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. Or Paulblartmallcop rather.
The worst part is that the trailers all sell this movie as if Death, Time and Love are in fact spirits like in a Christmas Carol! And then you discover they are in fact actors trying to ruin Will Smith's carrier! WTF?!
bbkingzor And then at the end you find out they really are spirits pretending to be actors pretending to be spirits and are really there to help the lives of the people trying to ruin Will Smith! What a twist.
BruceGifford JustMyOpinion Spoiler alert! Well, no one really cares anyways. But yeah, WHAT A TWIST HUEHUEHUE!
asderc1 You're welcome. I was worried about adding the "spoiler", because there are people that legitimately liked this film. I know I seemed to be the only one in the theater that day that didn't like it. It felt like the movie theater experience for Aloha all over again. There were so many times people seemed to be cheering or clapping (actually, they snapped their fingers to imitate a clap, I think) after any "big dramatic" moment or whenever their was a part where someone cries.
And to be honest, the extra twist of the film is very small at the very end of the movie. It could be argued that the very last part was just in Will Smith's character's head, but I doubt it.
Mr Peaches Latour As underhanded as the marketing is, I have some appreciation for the marketing. They found just the right scenes to try and sell it as something the masses might like. Let's face it, lots of people love feel good movies. If they would have made a trailer out of the real plot, how many people do you think would be horrified by the premise and not go? Marketing found a way to sell the movie and it's quite the feat. Still a bad movie, but I feel marketing did their job.
bbkingzor. they really are death time and love. ...if u think about it death only talked to the guy dieing and gave him advise on death...time only talked to the girl who the she didnt have enough time to have kids and he gave her advise on time and love only talked to the guy who later on said he wasnt loving anymore he became love .. and at the end they show them as spirits all these reviews are dumb people
The best/worst line: "I felt you inside of me when she called me daddy!" Oh, what a disaster.
Matt Cipolla WHAT?!?
Yeah, it was a god-awful speech from Will Smith to Keira Knightley (who played Love). And it was hilarious.
Robbie Collin is a good reviewer. I first heard he's appraisal of John wick and I totally agreed with him. Keep it up Mr Collin.
Does anyone know where i can stream this movie online from, none of the websites i usually use have it for some reason
I keep on seeing people in the comments saying 'I actually liked this film' or 'Robbie just doesn't understand it'. I think I might know why.
See, on the surface, this film is... well, a film. Well known actors, decently shot. Even the editing and pacing is fine. You're sort of lulled into thinking this is legitimate... and then you realise what's actually happening and a part of you may suddenly think 'this is all a bit silly, isn't it?'
I do think Robbie Collin articulates that impression of this film quite well.
Mark needs to do a vid of his Review on this. That would be hilarious.
robbie and ben nailed it damn this movie was putrid!!! it’s almost worth it for this review so funny!!!
This film seemed deep and meaningful when I watched it after drinking a bottle of wine at 11 pm
Oh, that was the trick!
A New York Winter's Tale is so hilariously bad I love it.
My CEO also says 'what is your why?' It's from a mark twain quote 'the two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.' It is a ridiculous question to ask though.
It sounds like typical bizzspeak, but it is essentially asking people what motivates them - what makes them get out of bed in the morning - and that isn't a stupid question, except for people who are scared of the answer or, worse still, don't have one.
Your review cracked me up. Great discussion. We reviewed on @t @t - greast cast, great looking, terribly messy in every aspect. The word "catastro-phuck" was invented for this film
is it just me or collin is doing his best kermode impression?
Is it watchable in a sort of bad-but-funny kind of way?
will Smith now has reverse medusa touch
devil wears prada worked because Streep was on fire
Gang Stalking: A Winter's Tale
Intrigued
Collateral Doody
5 years on and I've gone through a lot, and you're so way off, that i can't even tell you. Such a highly underrated movie. Frankly, please try to understand the movie
Even the trailer stinks
Will Smith is an absolute hack. His “acting” CV is an embarrassment. I don’t understand his appeal.
no kermode no party
I thought the same at first, but I actually quite enjoyed this.
I am dismayed that nobody seems to get this film and worse, are reading totally erroneous things into it that just aren't there! Robbie says his work partners are trying to cheat him out of his business - NO, they are desperately trying to save the business while he, the 60% owner refuses (for 30 months and counting) to even discuss or show any interest in it. He says the actors are visible to everybody but are airbrushed out of the video to make Howard seem mentally incapable of making a rational decision on the future of the business - NO, that was plan B, if the intervention failed to jerk him out of his bubble, but if you pay attention that is not what happens at all. Indeed the 3 worried friends and partners aren't in control of the situation at all, but are being given their own valuable spiritual lessons just as the Will Smith character is.
I find it so sad that so many people fail to understand what collateral beauty means, but hope they manage to find it in their lives, nevertheless.
BLR Brazil They are taking the film message literally! When its all about symbolism.... Lack of understanding of emotion....
They really dont understand the film, if your going to make a review about a film atleased try and understand it...
You do not understand this film. Love, Death and Time are not actors and the only people that can see them are the four people involved.
This is not a bad film. It is a film that tries to show the agony of bereavement. And it does that well.
Yes it is hammy in places, but it's unfair to call it trash.
Never listen to critics. Make you're own mind up.
I've been through grief. And it is bad.
And tell me, why should people listen to anyone but critics just coz u have a different opinion than them? Sounds pretty pretentious.
@@antihinduismisbased I might be able to listen to critics opinion on something if they actually know what they are talking about, didnt even seem like he watched the film at all.
Not gonna lie thought the film was brilliant
Sounds like they didn't actually watch the film, just the trailer, hmm
I know right. this is the worst review ive ever seen.
Too many plot spoilers. A very bad review by Mark's standards.
JUST EMBARESSING YOURSELF LOOOOL YOU DIDNT GET THE STORYLINE LOOOOOOOLL
ive got a better name for this film:
'collateral bullshite'
LOOOOOOOOOOL EVERYONE IS SOOOOOOO DUMB, LOVE TIME AND DEATH WERE NOTTTTTTT REAL. ALL 3 HELPED WILL, AND 1 OF THEM HELPED ONE OF EACH FRIEND. THATS WHY AT THE END ONLY WILL CAN SEE THEM AND NOT HIS WIFE, THEY THIS DISAPEAR CUZ HE KNOW LONGER NEEDED THEM
I search for kermode to end up at his content, not on his channel doing his job by some new goof.. maybe hes a good guy, i dont care.. i just thumb this video down
