I haven’t read the original book but I enjoyed the movie, which felt like it mostly earned its big, melodramatic heartstring-tugging moments.
My Cultural Diet
911 reviews of movies, TV shows, books, restaurants, etc. My own private Goodreads, Letterboxd, and Yelp all rolled into one (more info). Star ratings are 100% subjective, non-scientific, and subject to change. May contain affiliate links, which support Opus.
I really want to rate this higher, but it just doesn’t embrace the weirdness of Tsutomu Nihei’s manga as much as I would like.
I know nothing about ZZ Top’s music (other than the obvious hits) but I really enjoyed this.
Though I appreciate what Chloé Zhao tried to do here, the results were flat and unremarkable. Also, when is the MCU ever going to address the giant Celestial corpse in the ocean?
I can’t remember the last time I hated a movie as much as I hated this one.
An absolute train wreck. A fascinating train wreck. But a train wreck, nevertheless.
Really enjoyable action scenes, but the comedy was too broad and over-the-top. Still undecided as to whether I’ll watch the sequel or not.
