Not enough films set in German history. Horror is fine, but it would be cool to see a landsknecht battle or a girl singing by a well.

You don't know power of dark side

I thought it was mostly corny, and the ending was ridiculous.

I can get with this ranking. I always get fascinated with rankings from horror fans that did completely grow up on every single one of these movies. Some of the bad sequels rank higher for me mainly because of its nostalgia value. So when people don’t have that, I understand how they can pick them apart.

Thank you. After the terrible awful that is Alien Romulus it put me off movies for months. I really hope it makes up for all the crap movies Hollywood has been churning out lately. Money hungry studios seem to have forgotten about good script writing and instead are in favor of making them appeal to everyone to get the most profit. That’s all they seem to care about…until now. I’m happy to hear it’s so good.

Just finished reading this and found out the movie just wrapped filming, excited for it!

Let's not forget what an anazing vampire Alexander Skaarsgard played in True Blood!! Both brothers are incredible actors!

I was with you up until the Denzel parade. Come on, be real. He spoke and acted like he came out of one of his 90s films, complete with the New York accent.

There is a character, Wayne, in a show called Letterkenny. Whenever someone is getting out of hand, Wayne says, "Yeah, I'm gonna need you to take about 20% off that." The percentage he cites varies with the severity of the infraction. Coppola should have hired him to stand next to him the whole time the movie was being developed and filmed. Francis: "OK, in this scene, the two main characters are going to have a conversation while walking around on pristine I-beams suspended in the air at different levels for some reason." Wayne: "Yeah, I'm gonna need you to take about 65% off that."

The twin emperors looked like extras from Jackass

I just streamed this and completely agree with your take. Amazing first 2 acts but the third act goes way over the top into being ridiculous. Funny you mentioned Cronenberg - wasn't the scene with Sue pulling the drumstick out of her navel an homage to Videodrome?

You have such good taste 👍

I just saw this movie tonight and I was fully disappointed. It seemed very rushed for it to have taken 20+ years to make. The 2 emperors were awful actors. And the make Lucien Maximus’s son, takes away from his honor, since it would mean he cheated on his wife

You said everything i felt...

This is one of the best shows ever made.

I have seen Monsters. I highly disagree. It was incredibly boring. For a film called monsters there’s aren’t much if it in it at all.

"HAVE to"...really?!

Ok ok ok. Hear me out. Robert Eggers’ A Christmas Carol with Willem Dafoe as Ebenezer Scrooge lol.

Just watch the chiense three body problem tv series. It is 100 times better. It is around 30 episodes.

For some reason, I really thought the astronauts that are mentioned in the first movie with James Franco would return, and the movie would be about them.

Only Eggers could make this work. I wonder what he will make after this.

Agreed 200%

Fantastic review as alwyas Marianna!! Thank you so much for your exquisit choice of words, your poetic choice of words and phenomenal editing of this video 🥳

So happy I will be well enough to see this on Christmas Day. 🖤🦇

Just finished this film! Great rewatch! Great review!

Why they blackwash north african historical characters?! Macrinus (modern algeria), jugurtha (modern algeria), hannibal (actaul tunisia), cleopatra (greece/egypt) etc. As if north africans dont exist or are minority... There are a lot of subsaharians (black) historical figures. Why they feel the need to black washed north african historical figures?! During colonisation, historyof this region was erased to meet colonial narrative, now ot is americans.

Spot on review!

4:21 that description makes me so giddy I can’t explain haha can’t wait to see it

I had to walk out... An hour in and could not do it anymore. So many things wrong and I didnt care.

I’m curious to see if Lily Rose Depp is as talented as her father.

kind of sad for Aubrey - if this film is another compromised-success. I felt for a long time she'd actually be great in more serious and action movies (ski fi). But Ruse De Guerre/Operation Fortune (Guy Ritchie) was already a compromised success, cause it got pulled back over 2 years in a row (cause Ritchie had given his villains ukrainian nationality). And now this one I guess is not going go as an iconic movie either (cause it's a mess). Hope Aubrey gets into a serious action thriller with meaning and depth sooner or later, that's the type of thing she's got it all for as I think - and it'd be amazing something like that would level up her portfolio (and our excitement) // -(ry at zoomout)

How about the good old Moebius (Father of the SkiFi graphic Novel, feel free to google the name and click images, and he coed The 5th Element) would still be alive and had been escorted into the writing rooms for this, ''Ok Francis, here's some Italian wine for you, relax, and Jean ( Jean Giraud/Moebius) just squares out your script mess a bit''. The world be a better place now

Hyu Grant is a baws.

Eggers makes great movies

Been patiently waiting on this review from my GOAT. I was NOT disappointed. Cannot wait. Love you, girl. Don’t ever stop reviewing films!

This looks so amazing! And it looks like it does not have this horrible orange or green filter most movies have this days. And they use light and darkness when it fits the storey and scenes. Also rare these days! I will watch it i think🙂🙌🙌

Movie suck so bad. It's so boring. I swear liberals think these quirky type movies are good, when they're really not. They swear by A24 films. Pretentious nonsense.

Ridley Scott’s movies at least tried for historical accuracy in the past. The Duelists is one of the most accurate period films ever made. Now he just couldn’t care less about the content of his films.

One of the best films of 2024.

This movie was so boring. On paper, it sounded like everything I love. My god, was I disppointed. All surface and no substance, and I wasn't expecting to be "deep" to begin with. My eyes kept glazing over and was completely uninvested by the end which is basically a blur. The "nothing really matters" is right on the money. I'm shocked at all the positive opinions.

I really liked the movie, but Sister Barnes killing Mr. Reed after having her throat slice earlier in the movie was a bit unbelievable for me; Sister Paxton herself should have finished the job. Still, very good movie I'll probably rewatch sooner than later. 😍 One final note, the acting in this movie is very, very good! 🙏

We don't go to the theater too much but I'm thinking of going to see this after Christmas. 🧛‍♂️🦇

How did you see when it hasn't come out til Dec 25?

Robert Eggers really is becoming a name synonymous with quality.

"Predestination" Broke me

I don't know if "10 Cloverfield Lane" is underrated but it's perfect for this list

I felt sorry for the animals and that's it.
