Boy oh boy, this film was a total blast. 2.5 hours of pure, mindless entertainment, mixing insanely impressive action sequences, breathtaking special effects and a ton of humour (which I thought was way better than the 2nd film - I can't help but love Anthony Hopkins yelling at tourists to 'move their fat asses'). Mark Wahlberg was once again a total badass, the main girl was a real looker, the comic relief guy was pretty damn funny, the return of Josh Duhamel & John Turturro was fantastic, and Anthony Hopkins was visibly having a sh*tload of fun. The last 60 or 40 minutes were just non-stop action. I also really loved the 'King Arthur' intro sequence, as Michael Bay demonstrates he still can produce very impressive battles of epic scope. And once again, Steve Jablonski delivers a killer soundtrack. This may very well be my favorite Transformers outing since the original film in 2007.
Feels like I have seen this many times before. There are some very intense scenes with the alien organism though, and the ending took me completely by surprise.
I'm actually surprised to hear that World War Z is getting a sequel, this time helmed by none other than David Fincher, rather than Marc Forster.
Miranda (1948) & Mad About Men (1954)
Both films star Glynis Johns as a mermaid with a mischievous nature. You can tell how the films will end, but Johns is immensely charming in the role, very believable as an enchanting sea creature.
@Last_Rat_Standing, it's always nice to have those rare moments where you actually care about what you're reporting on. Speaking of another Newman classic I had a cinema class in college that I had to do a final report on, and chose to look at the strong female leads in both The Hustler and Casablanca to study their empowerment and sacrifice.
haven't seen this in an age and it really is a very underrated film.
I actually think this is a more interesting story than the original.
Love George C Scott's performance and Brad Dourif is chilling as the Gemini killer.
Some really creepy moments in this and a scene in a quiet hospital corridor ends with one of the best jump scares in horror film history.
Some films are like watching a train wreck, They're uncomfortable to get through, but one can't help oneself. This is almost one of those films. Michael Pena deserves better. The other chap (Dax Shepard, who also wrote and directed the film) should stop trying so hard to be Owen Wilson. He should also seriously consider a change of careers (both of them). Dick and a$$ jokes seem to be all the rage these days in these sort of ventures (there was a prevalence of the former in Baywatch as well), and that's the case here. Pena's character (who is undercover as Frank “Ponch” Poncherello) is a shameful parody of Estrada's original (this one has to stop by public washrooms a few times a day to manually stimulate himself). I'll admit some of the stunts aren't half bad, but it's unfortunate when one makes a film which ostensibly will feature bike chases and none of them come close to anything Cruise pulled in MI2/MI-RN.
The first line in the film states "The California Highway Patrol does not endorse this film....at all". I should hope not. In fact, if I were them, I'd sue.
I seriously miss the days when the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker films delivered quality comedy with sheer witticism. Nowadays, it's just the absurdly sordid American Pie leftovers of the nineties.
I know the scene you are referring to in the hospital and you are right,scares the hell out of me everytime,even when I know it is coming.
A VERY underrated film as you say.
Not a bad film but i expected it to be better.
To me, it's one of the best-made films of this decade.
I haven t seen this in many years. One of the greatest comedies of all time.
"Nice beaver!"
A very strange film. Maybe it can be considered unsettling, but as it is so purposefully bizarre, it really isn't unsettling, rather it's just whacked.
Single persons in this contemporary society ie. not futuristic, are required to stay at a hotel for 6 weeks, in order to find a new mate.
If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choice, and let loose to fend in the woods.
From this premise numerous bizarro scenarios spring forth.
Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz star.
Some good Bond content with both Lea Seydoux and Ben Whishaw in featured roles.
Seydoux's character as leader of the forest dwelling loners, is completely loco.
Very odd film. My reaction upon finishing film was "wtf, did I actually sit through all of that" and
"that's it!? that's what passes for an ending?Someone turn me into a lobster! I can't take this."
Which is not to say that this is a bad film.Rather, the movie is just so damn odd.
