"no character to root for."
Why do you have to root for a character in order for them to be interesting? This isn't a factory produced Disney product, this is a story for adults. Real life is messier than good guy vs. bad guy.
"no main character"
This isn't even close to being a rule. It's just demanding that all stories have the same structure. Was GOT a bad show? Was Pulp Fiction a bad movie by this logic?
"plot all over the place"
"Do generic bad guy vs good guy linear story or writing is objectively bad." Got it.
It is not the job of a piece of media to be an upstanding moral citizen, only to tell an engaging story.
Anyone who thinks "woke" is a legitimate criticism of a piece of media immediately gets the dunce cap pounded on his head. The word might have had meaning at one point, it has none now. It's an imaginary boogieman created by right wing grifters on youtube, accepted by idiots and closet racists.
Why do you need to root for someone or a story to be compelling? Not everything has to be a Disney movie.
Real men prefer asses anyways.
The world will become a much better place when people stop using this meaningless word.
The storylines felt rushed in this episode. The pacing was always a little weird in this show, it feels like it's rushing through the timeline to get to the older Rhaenyra story, but in this it was just weird. They introduce a new character and than kill her out of nowhere. Suddenly Daemon is married, now he's not. We get a black-mailing scheme between the two couples, than Crispon just kills him off.
At this point I'm more tired of people complaining about comic book movies than I'll ever be of comic book movies.
If you're consenting adults, age is a number.
So many awful takes in one post.
The "Uncle" was so obviously Fisk it's not even funny. The suit, the way he walks, the hand, the voice the cuffling. That's Vincent D'onofrio.
The King is back baby!
At this point, people complaining about super-heroes movies are more of a broken record than the actual super-hero movies.
Yeah it's a running theme I see in a lot of female oriented action movies. Woman are always unstoppable badasses. They're not allowed to be realistic and human because they're women. And women are awesome. And there are plenty of MMA fighters and strong women in real life who can realistically beat dudes in a fight, but they always cast an 80 lbs nothing as someone who can toss around big men. It's so stupid.
There's no "believing" a fact of reality. You accept it's real or you're wrong. I've had friends and relatives who died from it, try to paint that as a conspiracy you ignorant cunt.
Dude. There's this thing called tone. And whether or not a movie a movie has to be realistic depends on how serious that is. When a movie has a character say the object they're looking for is in a box called Mcguffin, that's the film throwing all attempts at realism out the window. Your post is akin to complaining about inaccurate Physics in a Bugs Bunny skit. Do fictional scenes of woman beating up men really bother you.
Nobody is tired of woke politics. Woke movies don't exist. Hollywood doesn't care about a political agenda, they want your money.
What I and many people are tired of, are people bitching about movies being woke. You literally can't go too posts without someone throwing a fit about some shallow race or gender swap nobody gives a wank about.
"Woke" is a meaningless buzz word, spready by idiots who want to dog whistler their closet racism.
It's a movie, and it has black people and women, so according to Anti-SJWS it's probably a 11/10 on the woke scale.
Hill House had no filler though. Maybe one or two speeches could have been shortened, but other than that every scene deepens the themes, plot and characters.
Seems like the word "filler" has been reduced down to "this was longer than I wanted it to be." The word has no meaning now.
"The acting and cinematography were fine. The movie's technical aspects were adequate."
Nope. Pattinson and Dafoe's performances are a masterpiece. Period. Dafoe has given some great performances, but they're all college theater compared to the Lighthouse. As for the technical aspects, the same. We all have our own tastes, but Dafoe and Pattinson are beyond the pale.
