Woman firing bows masculine female rolls. Toxic masculinity shown as what needs to change.

It's turned into a woke bullshit mess you pussys. Fuckn so many simps. Fuck i cant wait for Russia to invade 😢

An abortion of a movie.

It's a worthy sequel. It's bigger...massive and a great cast who deliveres.

Will this movie make you think often of the Roman Empire?

I watched this film today and you've voiced my opinions perfectly. I would love to have had more character development for Pascal's character and with so many characters saying they were associated with Maximus in some way, despite all the clips from the first film there was no real link for these new characters at all. I would like them to have picked people out of the extras or created new scenes of the past. I'd also have liked to have had a better return to Lucius's wife waiting in the afterlife, perhaps with a line like "it'll be a little while before I can join you yet, wait for me" or something. I think they should have cut the baboons scene totally. It didn't look realistic at all. The rhino also seemed gigantic and maybe I don't know rhinos but a normal sized rhino is scary enough. And the sharks were unnecessary... I enjoyed the film though haha! I made the mistake of watching it in 4D as my friend insisted. I think I'll go back and watch it in IMAX instead.

Those ships look too large for the coliseum

I got so annoyed.. by the endless jump cut zooms whilst you were narrating, I switched away.

I want to say thank you to Joe Paolella. I haven't seen "Gladiator II" yet. I was deeply moved by the original "Gladiator." It had a brilliant cast and took on several difficult subplots. I also want to say that Ridley Scott is trying to balance two things. One, tell a strong story, and two, appeal to as broad an audience as he can. On the first point, the theme seems to be what one person can do to effect change against a vast empire. It's an especially meaningful story, considering where we are in America. On the second point, Ridley Scott is doing something exceedingly difficult. He's trying to make a meaningful, popular film. No small feat. For the moment, let's leave it at that.

this is the best movie since gladiator 1

When that guy came out standing on the rhino I almost got off my seat to start shouting and clapping

I don't know if I'll watch this one, seems like another "let's dig up something that was popular and make a mediocre sequel" type situation

Imagine how much better this would be if they could have used the railways the British stole from Malta Can't wait to watch this, aiming to go watch next week. I had concerns watching the trailers and stuff that this was just a cash grab but nice to hear that Ridley Scott managed to deliver a good film. I don't think anyone could have ever topped the magic of the original, but I'm glad it has at least a somewhat worthy successor

I don't like Anora as much as you and most people seem to. For me, it is ok and the praise is "mostly merited". I wasn't sure on first watch. I went back for a second viewing and found it quite boring. In contrast I love Baker's previous three films and continued to enjoy them on re-watches. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Yeah I think their genre is horror but I also dont like Adam Driver as an actor unless you have a really good director like Jim JArush to make his personality and facial expressions work in some meaningful way. The last film he did with that quirky female was dreadful. Didnt like him in hereditary either. I absolutely loved Heretics mood and feel and the way they directed this film. Top marks I realise Hugh Grant could make anything look good like extreme measures, about a boy, Notting Hill etc but he also had to make those females look convincing and he ticks that box too.

Saw this yesterday. Grant is great. Deep and thought provoking. 😊

Didn't love it tbh. Margaret and Demi Moore were GREAT, fx also cool and the overall imagery was really nice, and it was overall enjoyable to watch it, but I actually don't really agree in the sound effects being great, they felt a bit excessive for my taste. The overall narrative also wasn't very compelling (or the way the story was told). Kinda reminded me too much about black mirror, that in the begining I enjoyed but started to get tired of that series. Maybe some years for now I'll be able to watch it and have a different point of view, since I think I also took the movie too seriously? Like maybe I look at it in a more "Jennifer 's body" kind of way, and maybe I should watch more Cronenberg and come back to it

First Sean Baker film I watch, a friend of mine that is his fan recommended to go watch it... I was really pleasantly surprised with it! I didn't see much of his style and seeing drama/comedy I was a bit on the fence but I'm really glad I went to see it! It was funny and gut wrenching without feeling like a more comercial comedy drama... really need to go watch more of his films!

review A Different Man pls

Anora? I barely know her!

not sure this is a cinema watch for me but will definitely give it a try at some ooint

I’ve loved all of Sean Baker’s films in the cinema so was already looking forward to this. Also a longtime fan of Mikey Madison from her days on quirky but compelling tv show called Better Things, short episodes which I think you could really enjoy. By the way, I think her name is Mikey not Mickey, I only tell you this not to be pedantic but because I think she will have a long career so may as well know now.

I actually don't mind the improv set up ngl

Ricky's on a roll

I want to watch it

Loved the movie. I am really looking forward to seeing it. Please review Elevation next!

Hugh Grant is such a vibe man

"hugh grant in a horror movie?" was exactly my reaction when i saw this thumbnail wasnt on my radar but seems like my level of spooky

Nice stash

Very flat performance! Kate Winslet was simply not great in this role. Her American accent was grating, it was self-absorbed and very stony-faced. It was hyped to the skies by people lacking truly critical faculties.

I haven’t watched the movie yet, but I am amazed by fragile men comments that since this movie is directed by a woman, and portrays issues mostly lived by women, then it’s not worth watching. Since it’s not something they live and/or understand and/or care at all then they make a judgement on the whole gender. What an interesting anthropological example of humanity. You can still dislike something without the need of undermine the whole female gender.

saved for a future halloween for sure

Best film of the year!

Nailed it in one minute without giving anything away.

Watched Smile 2 yesterday, made my skin crawl in certain scenes, no spoilers here. Slightly better than number 1 and definitely opens up a franchise that could go bat shit crazy and in a plethora of directions from here. Big thumbs up from me. Will definitely be viewing it again and again.

my tears have been thoroughly jerked

so bad

wasnt on my radar, will add it to the never ending list of horror i want to watch

Dreamworks with unique artstyle AND Pedro Pascal?????? Inject that shit STRAIGHT into my veins

I want to watch it

I absolutely looooooove the art style. Can't wait to check this one out.

The love theme for this film is Spinal Tap's 'Big Bottom'...

"What was the point of the last 2 hours in this 2 hour and 20 minute film" - oof shame to hear a lot of what you said about this film, the potential was pretty high but seems like they weren't too sure where they really wanted to go with these films (or just didn't write them well enough to get where they wanted to go). I'll still watch this, I liked the first but not too much, so based on your conclusion it should be good for me

but how could you possibly delve into the depths of the hobbits perfection in only short format

Glad to see anything with driver bomb !

Saw This Incredible Film This Past Weekend!!! I’m 67 years old And Have Seen A lot of Wild Films! But This One Was The Wildest RIDE EVER! Camera Work, Acting, Story! Incredible! Damn I’m SURE GLAD I FASTENED MY SEATBELT! Also, Where Can I Get Your Tshirt Good Buddy? Love The Thing Film!

On Adam Driver's commitment, yes. It's like he really wanted to get this thing off the ground. If they'd only taken Taylor Caldwell's 1960s novel about Cicero (A Pillar of Iron) and plopped it into the near future they would have had a coherent story. If Coppola was not inspired by Caldwell, I would find it surprising. At the same time Coppoia had some sort of fixation on the German silent film METROPOLIS, which drained the project dry. That picture was good for inspired design; Thea Von Harbou's script was as disastrous as Coppola's lack of one. Some day we'll see a great film about the Cataline Conspiracy, but not yet.

Nice

Cool

Great idea
