James Bond as The Prisoner?

Connery's character is an enigma. And a British top spy. So, maybe.

Connery. Harris. Cage. Morse. Biehn. And they're all in top shape. Star-studded cast. The movie has room for more character development, especially Harris, but hey, plenty already, and it's already over 2 hours.

Bay from back before he jumped the shark. The music video origins show in the frantic camera work, but it fits the movie. Also, explosions. Huge. Lots.

Zimmer doing what he does right.


A smashing action flick. Enough testosterone to turn the frogs back straight.
Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!

Woke slop

Beside being woke its also just a cheap looking movie unfunny and unoriginal.
Perry white is perry black (again)
All costumes look ugly, unnecessary characters unrelated to superman, mid castings

It's a predictable kind of magic.

Cage works well as an oblivious, too intense wizard. Molina is a fantastic villain, as usual, suave and utterly psychopathic. Kebbel is fittingly fabulous, and plays well off Molina.
Baruchel does an OK job in very predictable interpretation of the Hero's Journey. It's hard not to hear Hiccup, though. Kids are fans of his. Voice.
Palmer was picked for being disarmingly charming and devastatingly attractive. She succeeds on both fronts. But her role is not that deep either.

The usage of magic is actually pretty creative and entertaining, making up for a pretty unsurprising script.
Disney violence, no blood, no gore, although implied deaths.

A good movie to watch with the younger ones.

Finally a non-woke movie!

What a pleasure to see normal relatable real human characters back in action on the big screen! This film was EXCELLENT. A true joyride of a movie. Entertaining, gripping, heartfelt, and motivating. A feel-good movie about second chances, especially recommended for anyone who's facing an uphill battle in life!

Great entertainment overall but the woke elements were obvious and annoying

Of course the "good guys" had to be a Mexican family. They are the helpless innocent victims and the white man is evil and corrupt.
Other than that tedious cliché, the film was good fun!

Dusk. Dawn. Not Twilight.

They know how to shoot (supposing Tarantino meddled behind the camera too). Maybe an overdose of ocher tones at some point, but hey, it works.


Clooney is good in a rather undemanding role.
Tarantino writes his character into sucking tequila off Hayek's foot. That's a lot of money to indulge in his private proclivities. He does make for a very convincing psychopath. Sure hope he's acting.

To be honest, Hayek's scene is hot as sin. Well, until it's not. Being a true feminist, she hides from the male gaze behind her massive mammaries and luscious figure. And her superior acting skills. I mean, she's rather good, but she launched her career with Desperado and this. And Dogma. And Four Rooms. She's the dancing bikini TV girl. Notice a theme. Makes her later discourse Johansson-level of hypocritical.
Lewis is not at her best here. No real reproach, just, she's done better.
The rest of the cast is a bit stiff for my taste; I mean, it's not a serious movie, nobody's getting out alive.

The first half of the movie - the gangster part - is highly atmospheric. Reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs. The second half is just mindless fun. About as far from Twilight as possible while still having vampires. And a disco ball.
Weird vampires, death mariachis, crotch cannon, it has it all.

Neither Rodriguez' nor Tarantino's best, but stupidly enjoyable. Except not for kids. Or older people. Probably not most women either.

The husband and wife are the usual beta coward husband to the feminist nasty, rude unlikable wife treating her husband like shit and nothing
is her fault. The acting is ok but this is way to long and boring. The first hour and a half just drags on forever. There are so many red flags
and warning signs here right from the start that they just ignore like its nothing. Even without that it's not like the couple is charming,
personalbe or likeable. They are weird and awkward and hard to believe they are able to get this many people to fall for their bs. Then of course
at the end once it all falls apart the wife is the one fighting back, saving her husbands life and defending everyone while he just does nothing.
Even the daughter manages to do more than the weak beta father.

Nothing really woke. This isn't a bad movie but you've seen it before. It's the typical no budget small business struggling to stay alive against the rich big business down the street. The acting is ok but everything is such a cliché you can see it all coming a mile away. It's an ok watch and probably a little more so for anyone who remembers small local brick and mortar comic shops from the 90's.

Turned it off after 30 minutes

The first thing I noticed is it was trying to be 'quirky' instead of gritty like the original karate kid, and the main character is a nerdy poonce unlike Daniel in the original.

But despite that it was going okay and I was prepared to give it a chance.

Not 'wokeness' as in gay shit, trannies and such in that time.

BUT.. just as bad, like most modern movies and shows there's an unbearable, disrespectful, cuntish girl in it who becomes his friend and constantly is disrespecting her dad. I had enough of that shit and turned it off.

Otherwise it could have been okay. Why do they keep pretending women/girls are meant to be like that, making them completely disrespectful and aggressive which no man with any self respect wants to see or deal with.

Sounds like Dave Reimer is used to his wife and other women being completely disrespectful cunts and has his balls in her handbag so much that he's pretending it's not happening, since he's used to being an emasculated fucktard.

Most likely wrote his review from his chair in the corner of the room while sipping a soy latte while watching his wife bang a black man, while wondering what bs he can make up for his review. Seems like he didn't even watch the original movie.

Murphy's whole career behind a camera...

Written, directed, produced and fronted by Murphy. Also starring his brother and Pryor, his long-time inspiration, girlfriend Guy and friend Hall.
It doesn't get much more personnal than that.

Well, that's not all he wrote, but that's all he directed. Kept on producing, though, cause he's astute and likes making money.

And it didn't deter him from trying to grow out of the outrageous funny man image.

Which he was not completely ready to. There's still much of Axel F in his character.

If memory serves, Pryor had been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. So, not at his best. But still very good. Foxx, Aiello, Lerner and most of the supporting cast are old grognards by the time of this movie. Pro-level performances all around.

Photography is decent for the time, so, nothing impressive, despite competent lighting and nice colour palettes. The camera work is adequate, but hardly impressive. Not every actor is Eastwood. Or Beaty, in this context.


Not only is it not woke - Murphy's always shown a 80s view on race - but it's not even PC: there are even fights involving women. Which end up as realistically expected.


This movie hesitates between film noir and Murphy comedy, and never finds a balance. Beaty's Dick Tracy the following year puts it to shame, with its assumed comic book looks all the way.
The Godfather it is not; still, it somewhat works, and makes for a pleasant watch.
I suppose it was under-rated at the time, considering Murphy was on top of the world, high expectations included.

Not any more woke than the original

This was a darn good "live action" remake of the original. Scrawny characters are made to be scrawny in this, and the same with the opposite. A bit more diversity in the cast, but I can't quite nail down the homogeneous population of vikings that battled dragons historically to see if these compare.

Disgusting but previzibile

Historical revisionism with brown Anglo saxons in homogeneous Britain
