Chris Stuckmann reviews Colossal, starring Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Dan Stevens, Austin Stowell, Tim Blake Nelson. Directed by Nacho Vigalondo.

I dunno why Oscar's "personality switch" was so confusing to you. He's a bitter, insecure man with control issues, he's an abuser and, just like all abusers, he initially comes across as sweet, friendly, generous, etc. His abusive and controlling side comes out when he doesn't get his way (when Anne Hathaway sleeps with his friend instead of him) and, also typical of abusers, when he realizes he's pushed others too far with "mean Oscar", he can lapse back into "nice Oscar" mode in an attempt to convince them that, hey, he's real sorry, that's not how he *usually* acts, c'mon, forgive him.
"Nice Oscar" doesn't exist, his lovely gestures (giving her a job and furniture) are not genuinely meant as generous, selfless acts, they're his attempt to make Hathaway indebted to him. He wants her to rely on him, he has a need to possess, control and own others, particularly her because she represents something to him: her success secretly infuriates him because he's so insecure, "possessing" her would 1. make him finally feel superior 2. feel like him winning a trophy.
Just like a lot of shitty people, he also feels that since he's been SO nice and generous, that she OWES him her affection. He's filled with rage and frustration over the realization that he's given her shit, but she sleeps with the guy who's given her nothing, not realizing that furniture and a job don't buy sex and/or love as though they're currency.
He swoops down to take advantage of a person in a vulnerable state and he's pissed when they don't bend to his will. That side of the story was actually done REALLY well, a LOT of people have run into IRL abusive dicks like Oscar, but that kind of story isn't often told or isn't represented so realistically (which is funny, considering how UNREALISTIC the other half of the story is). I thought the writer/director did a great job portraying that abuser/potential victim dynamic and, I have to say, to all of the people who rolled their eyes at how it's a "feminist story", it honestly doesn't matter that he's a man and she's a woman, abusers come in any gender.
Fuck, I just wrote a legit essay.
Nicely explained!
well said.
It was a good read
Yeah 5 paragraphs
Thanks Simone. You absolutely nailed that comment. You said everything I was thinking. Thank you 😊
I found Sudekis' change, while kind of sudden, made all the more sense when we saw what he was like as a child, and from what we learned about him and his family. On a subtle note, I think it's key to notice he didn't become this way, until after she was actively trying to stop drinking. On a more superficial note, he was the kind of guy who seemed to want to trap people, so they could be stuck with him in all his crappiness, and Hathaway had to actually fight her way out of the relationship she and he had formed,
The point of Jason's character is that the nice version of him was a facade. His real self was lying under the surface, in the same way that he destroyed her project as a kid, and only when he realized he had powers, did he become who he really wanted to be. Which is a bully.
Jason's character is supposed to be an abusive person. He is nice and welcoming at first, and then become controlling and disturbing. Remember when he was giving her furniture? He is trying to make her stay with him, kind of like an abusive boyfriend telling a girl he is going to change and to not leave him. It makes you think why his fiancé that is mentioned in the movie left him. Just something to think about if you haven't already thought about it, Chris.
Right? And did she even make promises to him when she was drunk? Or did he just lie and pretend taking advantage of her forgetful state?
@@phousefilms it is a abusive tactic, called gaslighting. its really scarily well done
I never caught the fiance part. Weird
are u kidding? this was the most obvious allegory and unoriginal. kill the patriarchy. it's not her fault just the evil men. do these movie reviewers really suck on this level. it was saying evil men trying to control the secretly powerful woman was in control the whole time. amd men will destroy the world. lol. please dont review anymore films, ann Hathaway isnt going to call u to hang out
Do all abusive people suddenly turn into mass murdering psychopaths?
I don't get how all of the people commenting on this video seem to have missed that part where he threatens (and does) killing hundreds or thousands of people just because he's an abuser?
I feel like you missed the mark on Jason Sudeikis's character. His character has a very thin surface of congeniality covering a deep well of volatile malevolence. The fact that he was so volatile was meant to emphasize what an unstable person he is. Plus each time his personality drastically shifts, it's in a response to something in the plot instead of just pulled out of thin air. He isn't just shifting wildly in tone randomly.
OrbGoblin I also think he was clearly bipolar. He was triggered by whatever events and made his personality switch
OrbGoblin Adding on that, I truly think he was supposed to represent somewhat of an abusive boyfriend kind of character if that makes sense.
the real monster in the movie was alcohol and drinking.. and once again chris is not accurate as usual lol..or he missed the point of the characters.. Jason's character liked the idea of being a monster in control, especially when he got drunk,.. this movie is an A, and very interesting and unique story
OrbGoblin there's a noticeable disparity in how men and women see his character "change"
@smflauto Yeah I definitely picked up some commentary on abusive and controlling relationships.
500 Days of PACIFIC RIM
Cloverfield*
Abusive alcoholic girl meets a psychotic man, trigger his psychosis killing thousands of people in the process, then she decides to go back to his beta boyfriend she can easily use and manipulate.
Absolutely perfect
Sorry mate - you missed the point. The film isn't really about alcoholism per say, it's about abusive relationships and addiction. Every main character is dependent on something. You’re right for Hathaway it’s alcoholism, but Sudeikis is a bully, who surrounds himself with weaker people (and hates himself or it), that was spelt out quite clearly tbh. Even the secondary characters state this clearly… one of his buddies being a meek, compliant walkover, the other a straight up junkie. This is why maybe to you the sci-fi tone doesn’t match, and how the many people dying seemed like a subnote, but the Kaiju were merely used as an analogy of how the self-destructive quirks of the human nature become all-consuming and why the biggest problems most people have… is their own ones (i.e. the relativity of the title Colossal). I like you as a youtuber but lately it seems you’re in too much of a hurry to get your review out, rather than digest the themes fully, and I say that with respect . This for me is a film that could match The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in its mature and realistic approach to the nature of relationships. tl;dr I think you need to watch it again.
Danny McManus I feel like if Charlie Kaufman wrote the script for this film people would praise it more. Too bad he didn't he could've done wonders for this
dang i'm so glad I found this comment. it conveys how profound the power an abuser yields over the victim through Sudeikis' threats of mass violence. So many other more concrete stories about abuse fail to speak to those who have never experienced simply because they can't appreciate why it isn't always as simple as 'just walking away'
Thank you for writing this so I didn't have to.
Thank you so much for this comment. ♥️♥️♥️
Danny McManus +
Recently saw this on HULU, and it simply caught me off guard. The scene as both of them younger and he finds her school project was powerful and lucid. There are many currents that run through this film, I will watch again.
Ironically your analysis of the film should have been Chris's..lol.I agree he was a bit lazy on this film, but the film is quirky, now Chris I felt Anne portrayed an alcoholic quite well for it reached deeply more then surface judgement
( if that makes sense..lol).
One last note : I loved ' Isle of Dogs '.. Chris in his critique glossed over an important detail
( I won't mention for spoiler reasons) that really surprised me, I enjoy Chris's videos but agree with you.
Chris - ask a woman who saw this movie if Sudeikis change really "came completely out of nowhere". Because while suttle there are definite Nice Guy warning signs to his character in the movie, signs that women who have experienced them recognise. Maybe not total psycopath but something dangerous and controlling beneath the "I'm such a nice guy" facade.
Exactly it didn't feel weird to me at all. On the contrary, I was like Oh I know that guy!
And actually that's kinda like what the movie is about, not her 'alcoholism', I'm amazed that so many people are missing the point.
exactly. as soon as he "switched" i went back and noticed all the signs. He is the epitome of the Nice Guy and the abusive partner. It was so scary because of how real it felt.
I agree from his very first scene in the movie. Upon second viewing, he is trying to control her from the get go. I felt he was trying to control her life because his was out of control and he didnt know how to fix his own. Thats what I got out of it anyway. This entire film in based on metaphors that I feel is going to go over alot of peoples heads
He is terrifying in this movie, and he’s perfect for this role, sudeikas is typically just some regular dude in movies, seeing his mask slowly slip away throughout the movie is just a treasure. This is arguably suideikas’s best performance of his career.
I loved this movie! I think Sudeikis's sudden change in character is explainable. Like all that was just hidden, waiting to be unleashed. And it happened as soon as he discovers what happened between his friend and Hathaway.
The dialogue, conversations, characters, camerawork, editing are all so well done. Also, almost the entire movie is metaphoric. My only issue was actually the fantasy aspect. I felt the ending was weak.
I tought Jason's character was pretty dark from the beggining. I'll say why, but it's some heavy spoilers.
...
He was superficially sweet, but he looked kinda possesive since the first night in the bar (when he snapped at his friend for almost kissing Gloria).
Also, he had the habit of apparently discussing important decisions with Gloria while she was drunk and tell her the next morning when she didn't remember anything. That looked like a bit of a red flag to me. It seemed a bit manipulative, and we later learn that he was probably gas-lighting her.
And also, all the presents he was giving her were a bit too much for somebody you haven't seen since elementary school, even from the first one, with the big TV. It looked to me that he was just playing nice because he would want something in return eventually (which is totally what he was doing).
I'd argue his character didn't undergo any drastic change because he was like that from the beginning. It was a matter of paying attention to the small details.
Ooooh I missed that, still was thinking of him as the good guy at that point but you are very right, that's a classic control move
Just seen it (and loved it). To address the changes in Sudeikis' character, they do gave us clues of who he was earlier on in a subtle way: turning up at her house with a TV and saying "you don't remember us talking about it last night?" because she was drunk (hint, they probably did not talk about it), how he offers her a job even though he doesn't need a waitress to keep her close, how kept tabs on her after she left town... Not that inexplicable of a turn. Plus, jealousy, man.
Make a video talking about your favourite scores and soundtracks!!!
I hope there's some James Newton Howard in it! This dude really needs some more recognition outside of the filmmusic community...but since he's a Shyamalan-fan, I'm pretty sure he will mention him :)
AKXMaaefVK this would be great
IHE
Great idea
AKXMaaefVK fantastic idea!!!
Oh, for ........Jason Sudeikus' douchebaggery was always there in this. It was hinted at pretty early on. It was subtle, but apparent. Did he need a mustache to twirl? Maybe an evil laugh? And no, not all alcoholics are haggard, slurring bums with their teeth falling out and flush with gin blossoms. They could look as beautiful and "normal" as Anne Hathaway in this movie. That's the insidious thing about alcoholism. The alcoholic can spend years, even decades maintaining the addiction without giving away anything being wrong. It's not like the PSA's and after school specials that were apparently your only real reference to how addiction works.
Chris, if anyone has seen watch the trailer they already know the twist :/
true
If anyone's seen the poster or watched this review, they'll know the twist.
actually there is another one, which even trailers doesn't show. if u have seen the film u will know.
The "twist" is literally on the bloody poster. You'd have to be an idiot to not understand the concept of this movie going in, even if you've only seen the poster and that's it.
her being the monster isnt the twist lol
Honestly i thought it was a ridiculous story but the movie surprised me so much n the ending is amazing
There was a subtle moment where something Anne Hathaway's character had done the night before is noticed by Sudeikis and he realizes that their relationship isn't what he thought so he spirals into the character shift you talked about.
I feel like maybe you didn't get it? I don't feel like it's just about her alcoholism but also her engaging with two guys that abuse her in one way or another. Her ex-boyfriend obviously abuses her emotionally - the second she is getting her life back together he is there criticizing her choices of becoming a waitress and is trying to get back into her life as he feels that he can no longer control her. Jason Sudeikis' character on the other hand is a much more abusive controlling type of relationship in her life - manipulating and threatening lives of millions of people and then, on the other hand, threatening her with her own life - beating her up to show the "world" which does not applaud his abuse - no one in their homes watching TV cheers when he hits her and puts her on the ground. It is a story of abuse to oneself and to others. That is why the tones change so drastically - abusive relationship are chaotic like that where moments of happiness can very quickly turn into moments of pain where one person hurts the other one to regain control over their lives, making them suffer for feeling good, happy or even hopeful about their future and that's why Ann's character, when she breaks away from both of the men in her life and fights back, becomes truly free and happy - there is no escaping one abusive relationship for another. You have to get rid of the threat one way or another and that's exactly what she does. I just watched this movie with my husband and the second Jason Sudeikis' character punched her and stomped on the ground killing hundreds of people and threatened her that this would happen if she would leave I knew it was about abusive relationship. How did you miss this? If you didn't why wouldn't you mention it...plus 4 minutes is hardly enough to truly understand this movie ALSO "she looks too pretty to be an alcoholic" is not even close to a valid opinion - my mother was and still is an alcoholic and no one could tell from the looks of her. Please... check yourself before you wreck yourself. Even though I know you will never see this but hey....I might as well try. F for the review.
Sudeikis' character was obviously abusive. However, I have to disagree though about her ex being emotionally abusive. He wasn't controlling or manipulative. He was tired of the alcoholism, broke up with her and kicked her out, that's not abusive. In fact I would argue it would have been more abusive to enable the self destructive path she was on. He definitely shouldn't have tried to get back with her. On that part, criticism isn't a form of abuse. It's an opinion. You take it or leave it.
Make Chris Stuckman's comment section great again 🙏🏻
Dankest Media Group Amen. 🙏🏼
again? when the content creator has effectively abandoned the comments section, this is what happens
Yeah. Pretty sure Chris just completely ignores the comments and only uses RUclips to post videos.
Matt Brown I wonder why...have you seen the comments? Its just people 1. Giving him shit 2. Lame "I grew up with jokes"
he's never been engaged in the comments, long before "i grew up with" and "zod's snapped neck," is my point (seriously, i would love to see an example of him actually commenting on his own channel cause i haven't found it). the longevity of those are an effect of his disengagement, not a cause
He snapped when he saw Anne arrive to the park with his friend and figured out they spend the night together. I guess you missed that..
Loved this movie. so original clever well done film... I don't think sudeikis character was a huge change. I was getting weird vibes ever time he called her after she was blacked out drunk. That leaned more to taking advantage of then being helpful... so his flip wasn't story breaking for me.
I think the whole point with Jason Sudesikis character is that once he gets some power he becomes very entitled and unstable.
Like a reddit moderator
Chris, the scene you say you felt like you missed is the one where he realized he can't have her and she has hooked up with his friend
>Not gonna spoil the twist
>Shows both twists in the thumbnail
Wouldn't consider either of those as /twists/ tbh. I'd say the /actual twist/ was the unexpectedly dark subject matter, and the true colors of certain characters.
hi chris, i just came across your robin Williams tribute video and i just wanted to thank you. I only found your channel six months ago and i've tried to watch as many videos that you have created as I can. You are most definitely my favourite movie reviewer on youtube and I really hope you continue making videos for as long as you can and want to. But i have to say when i came a cross this tribute to an actor who also had a profound affect on me i felt I had to leave this comment. I, too have been through many issues throughout my life in which I blamed myself and occasionally do to this today but I don't think anyone but you and this deceased legend have eternally put this idea of realising the fault is not with us who condemn ourselves but with the environment created around us that causes this blame we weigh upon ourselves. I'm sure you get this a lot but you truly have a brilliant critique of both movies and life. To a likewise film fanatic and lifesaver i thank you again truly.
Repeat: THIS IS NOT A KAIJU MOVIE
The "GET STUCKMANIZED" was so much more emotional without the braces.
Attila theHun I miss it when he could only say, "Get Shtuckmaniged."
So glad to have your teeth back Chris! You're channel hasn't been quite the same without them!
I love you chris...
Joshua Le Marchant 1st it was awesome
I have a little disagreement with film reviewers who state two types of tones to movies shouldn't clash. I love Korean films solely because of reason. Who's rule is it to say you can't have funny and serious tones in a film and it not work?
A great example of my head is Metal Gear Solid, I know it's a game but I feel it's a popular piece of media because the tone is so unique to anything else.
Kong: Skull Island is another, very serious with death and carnage yet it has some really comedic elements too.
I just don't like this critic pointing out how a film should be devoid of any other tone but one. The best films we consider classics mix tones in ways you usual don't even recognise while making it fresh.
Just my thought.
KAP
KAP I think thats the point, two types of tones shouldnt clash but they should mix and blend in which this movie didnt do.
some great Korean films that were tonally unique were Okja and The Wailing, two of my favorite movies. go check them out on Netflix
People...Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes out May 5 in the States...
AKXMaaefVK but other reviewers saw it early
Then come over here to the UK.
Some Crazed Nerd It's either they live in other countries, or they got a special early screening
Are you people dense? Critics are allowed to see early screenings 2+ weeks before it comes out, regardless of where they live.
Released in Australia this week
You just announced a braces related continuity error worthy a post on IMDb. I love that! :-)
Hey, Chris! I saw your review and had no idea that this movie existed. Over time my curiosity got the better of me and I went with my dad to the last showing available before leaving local theaters. I also knew nothing about the movie (hadn't seen the trailer) and ended up really enjoying it! Thanks! I wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for your review.
When you consider that Jason's character found out how much power he now held, it doesn't seem so weird that his nice guy facade suddenly drops entirely.
@ChrisStuckmann you have to understand alcoholism to understand how one day you can be one person and the next a different one. The standard issues perfectly match the fantasy ones. IMO.
Ahhhhh someone who uploads in the mid day ( for me)
Great Review Chris! Keep Going!
Please review the FX tv show Legion!!!
YES
Dude, your main point about having sex without triggering her powers is simply false. They have never had sex or even touched each other (except for two times when they actually switched bodies) IN REALITY. They did have sex and you could see her gorgeous ass in the white imaginary room inside David's mind. It was like their safe hidden place for a while.
With that being said I can safely say that you didn't pay much attention to the show so it didn't come together in your head. This show required full attention to details. You are not supposed to even blink too often or you risk missing something and getting lost.
Try again from the beginning (I watched the pilot twice to get it right) or walk away to simpler predictable stuff like Flash.
Peace.
Kiron is right, there's so many things you can miss in Legion. For example the first 2 minutes 30 seconds of Episode 1 shows you the first 15 years of the main characters life aswell as sneakily showing you the main Villain of the season.
Arjun Kumar great show! can't wait for season 2!!!!
Arjun Kumar that tv show is fucking Boring!!!
Great movie. As I watched it, I wondered why they didn't put more effort into creating a grand "first appearance" scene for the monster. I mean, the girl just heard about the monster over the phone, which seemed like a total lack of imagination. But later it turned out that they were saving the big scene for the ending.
Chris, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Sleight if you haven't already seen it.
Please review the anime flick Love Live! The School Idol Movie, right, Chris, my man?
Where's you're GOTG2 review Chris!!??
oldmanglitch ok cheers for letting me know

looking good chris! congrats on the braces!
Chris! Could you make a video of your top ten most rewatchable movies?
It is for sure a very interesting and a different type of movie then I have ever seen, and I liked it alot. It was a great movie from beginning to end. It was because of your review is why I went to go see it, so another great movie review as always and heep them coming.
Last time I was this early Bill O'Reilly had a job
Richard Wallace Fuckin thing sucks!!
that wasn't long enough ago to actually be a good crack...
Hey Chris, I don't know whether you read the comments, but I wanted to tell you that rather than look at a consensus of reviews to decide whether to watch a film, I usually pick one or two reviewers I trust, whose tastes coincide with my own, and check how they've reviewed the film. To my surprise I've discovered that you seem to share a lot of my tastes. It's not 100%, but it's enough I trust you to recommend films for me. So thanks. (My previous go-to guys for films have been Jay Stone and Elwy Yost, so you're in excellent company.)
Great review Chris!
I can totally see how you would think this movies tones are clashing too much but I loved it. it was such an interesting dark comedy and I don't think we get many of those so people just tend to think they are clashing tones but its 100% intentional. I laughed my ass off out of sheer uncomfortableness and just thinking about what a scene would look like to a random in universe person. this movie is amazing I highly recommend it
I wouldnt call it dark comedy... its comedy 1st half then dark the 2nd half... I think the biggest problem of the film is the sudden shift tone of the movie.
like I said I laughed the whole way through which I think the filmmakers intended. And I think the fact that she kills hundreds if not thousands of people in the first half kind of shows the dark comedy aspect of it early on. But that's all just my take on it
I grew up with Pacific Rim
KB Boomin 1st
I didn't know you did the review for this. I freaking love this movie! I found it original, fresh, creepy, relatable, twisted and empowering!
AHH Chris Stuckmann..the primary reason that you are my favorite movie critic is because I agree with you on 99% of everything movie related..including subtleties. I will watch a movie then check out you review after to see if you notice the same details that I do and you always do! As we were watching this I mentioned to my boyfriend EXACTLY what you said about Anne Hathaway playing the most unconvincing alcoholic of all time. I also pointed out that it was crazy how thousands would die at her hands and she would just go home and roll up in a deflated mattress and go to sleep. Our opinions vibe in a very strong way and I know I can always trust your reviews!
you didn't buy her as an alcoholic, but you bought Jessica Jones as an alcoholic?
once again chris is not accurate as usual lol and knit picks.. this is not a documentary alcoholisim, that's just a character trait of these characters.. ann was very convincing as a drunk and didn't need to over act
Chris I'm trying to sleep stop
I like your reviews a lot(:
The thing that struck me most in the movie was Oscar's character revelation. There are certain moments in the movie - When she tells him to renovate the other part of the bar, when he tells his friend that she wrote better stories than him in school and when he tries to interfere when she was writing the message on the playground in Korean that we realise that he is not exactly complying with the image of the nice guy - supportive friend that we created.
The childhood memory confirmed his worst traits - insecurity and destructive behaviour. He always saw Anne's character as his competitor even though she wasn't aware of it and his insistence on making her stay in the town was derived from his desire to be better than her and control her. Enmity was a recurring theme in the movie.
I don't know what it is, but i just don't like Anne Hathaway.
I don't get why she is so sought after by Hollywood producers.
your thumbnail actually ruins this movie for people who haven't seen it. if anything, just change the thumbnail because you really didn't talk about it.
This movie looks really good, definetely on my watchlist. Enjoyed your review, Chris.
For those wondering, his GOTG Vol.2 screening will be at the 2nd of May
That thumbnail is different, I don't what...
Ohh hi mark
Ohh hi mark so anyway how's your sex life?
Ohh hi mark did you hit her?
seems like a big spiler there. Esp that i heavent seen another monster in the trailers.
Review Bahubali 2
Do a Predator 2 review please. I watched it the other day and was surprised not by the cheesy acting but the iconic filming shots used that were a lot better than expected.
This movie was so much darker than I was anticipating! Agree with you about the story feeling jumpy, but overall enjoyed it.
the ending is so good.
like chronicle. just absolute, inevitable corruption of absolute power.
Oh, great, thanks for spoiling it for everyone, dumbass.
He did not spoil anything, dumbass.
he spoil everything actually. the girl is somehow conntected to monster and can control it in the end, sigh.
That's the WHOLE premise of the movie. sigh.
how is spoiler a premise? we are told that she is connected to this thing from the start? No, I don't think so.
Really hope Colossal becomes a box office hit. Because it's really unique
ClemMedia considering it was only in my theater for a week and is now being advertised for digital download I'm pretty sure it bombed.
sadly, it probably won't, coz many haven't heard of it..and no marketing,, and a smaller movie too..
+Brendan Scott It's a little early to tell, the movie is still expanding theatrically.
lol
Your teeth look beautiful man! :D
Seriously. Congrats being done with the braces!
why is gotg 2 dropping so late in the us?
its been running in cinema since thursday in germany...
Chris you have to review 13 reasons why!
Nova3482 i might be in the minority, but i was incredibly disappointed in this show.
Clintonomo Bay I enjoyed the beginning but I too was disappointed by the ending
Not to nitpick but... there's just no way Ghost in the Shell was a better movie than Colossal.
it is though. The concept of Colossal is genius. just not the execution. I think that's the thing. So many people want to like it for the concept that they fool themselves into thinking it's better than it is.
+malepig420 Ghost in the Shell is not better, and considering that you called Colossal "feminist man hating garbage" is pretty telling. While the movie does have a critique on toxic masculinity and a reverse take on the "nice guy" archetype, it doesn't imply that all men are to blame for Gloria's troubles. Nowhere in the film does she wallow in self-pity and she does take responsibility for the collateral damage that she's caused and it's clear that she is flawed just like the male characters in this movie are.
Great review Chris.
As someone dealing with alcoholism, I can promise everyone that this is a master piece.
3:55 Why did he turn into a 60 year old smoker at the end?
He sounded like Willem Dafoe's green goblin
I feel like he threw a little Clint Eastwood into the it this time
*Why the hell are you not reviewing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2*
KillingTheJoke Because he's going to the screening on either the 1st or 3rd May.
His screening is on the 2nd.
America officially gets it on the 5th and as he's stated a few times in the past he's not exactly in movie central where he could view the newest movies asap.
sad to see everyone has seen and reviewed the movie but not him... will be waiting for his review anyway
Don't kid yourself, you're watching the movie regardless. I know I am :)
Talking about monster sci-fi movies. What do you think about The Mist? People seem to have very different opinions of it. I like it though.
Woah I just finished watching this movie about an hour ago and right before bed I see a review for this ! I completely forgot this movie came out this month so I didn't think Chris would review it but he did ! I think Oscar being a nice guy one moment and a complete ass the other should not be a negative because early on he's shown these traits. But I do agree on the clashing tones I didn't know to laugh or be scared at some scenes but I really really liked this movie ! Could have used some more monster scenes tho. Great review as always Chris !
Go to bed Chris! Lol
Wow I'm early, this is my chance to add a witty and insightful comment so that I can give meaning to my empty and pointless life
No, I've got nothing
MrNegativecreep07 😂
love your vids man your my fav review
Is there anyway you can start saying what day movies come out in the U.S at least?
1st
AA-Ron yes you are good job
Louis Bell thank you
2nd
Anne Hathaway performance is Phenomenal. it's Oscar Worthy.
Stretching a little i think
Elektra- Ha ha. Good joke.
Just watched this movie and I absolutely loved it! So original and captivating. And the ending was so satisfying. I went into it not knowing anything at all and I truly believe that enriched my viewing experience! I'd give it a solid A rating because of how unique it was.
could you do a video explaining the ending of this movie?

Well, I disagree. I think it's one of the best movies so far this year. Went in completely blind too, and I had this feeling, you know, the feeling that you get when you watch a seriously amazing movie that you'll remember all your life? I got that. I was so surprised by it. I honestly have nothing negative to say about it. I think it's phenomenal.
Baby Driver, Colossal, Get Out... keep the great original movies coming!
the playground in this movie is behind my house. they filmed a lot of it in british colombia
YES! I saw this instead of The Circle yesterday!
You had me at Anne Hathaway. No need to throw in Dan Stevens and Jason Sudeikis, stop digging, you already hit oil. I loved this one. So bizarre and hilarious, honestly might have to catch it again it's such good, weird sci-fi. This has so much flavor of a blockbuster sci-fi/superhero type film but a small indie flick. But it's also dark, and about being broken, dealing with metaphors of self-destructive behavior. 10/10
Even if you didn't like the movie you can't deny it was a very original kaiju movie. What other giant monster movie has the kaiju appear out of a thinder cloud and controlled by two people? It was very unique.
Sounds super interesting, Definitely gonna check this one out! Great review man
Hopefully it'll come around my town soon. I hate it when I miss some movies like this just because it's not around here.
just wanna say what's up Chris, and good work
Since I watched the trailer I realy wanted to see this movie.
Unfortunately the film isn't coming out here in germany :/
Thanks for this review. I saw the trailer in the theater and didn't know if this was a monster movie or romantic comedy. Probably won't see it in the theater, but I will check it out.
Are you going to review The Lost City of Z? I'm curious about that movie
Hey Chris this may be a reach here but I'm wondering if you'd mind if I sampled that line about Jason and playing basketball 😂 I make music and am working on a "comedic" track and that line absolutely killed me 😂😂
Just watched this movie and I *LOVE* the subtle message in the end when she confronts Oscar
I can tell Chris really liked showing off his teeth after talking about his braces at the end... lol xD
that "stuckmanised" at the end sounded really intense
