Speaking of debased minds, it took you two years to come up with that reply. Good job. I read this movie was good, but wow, I loved it! I was expecting Marvel schlock and it somehow managed to not fall into that too much. I've always thought Chris Pine was kinda bland but he was great here too. Actually I wasn't expecting anything of any of the cast but everyone did a good job. I would love a sequel, but this is such a great standalone film too. Kudos to everyone involved. People say the wife of the guy that got his fingers lopped off, but I feel like the movie was implying that he molested his daughter and that she knew about it and did nothing. I would go with the food critic's assistant or whatever he was. I've been uninterested in Marvel movies since Infinity Wars and kinda just watch them now to know what's happening. They're usually just "fine." This was BAD. Wow. It felt completely soulless which is a weird thing to say about a Raimi film but there ya go. It's not really his film, but this franchise is so bloated and bland now, doesn't matter how much VFX vomit they can throw on the screen. I bet Pearl had that talk she practiced with Mitsy with the real Howard. He probably felt immense guilt for not only going off to war but also keeping her at her family's farm. And we don't know what atrocities he saw/participated in during the war, so who knows how twisted he had become. Everyone else could sense that there was something wrong with Pearl except for his sister who seemed a bit airheaded. Pearl was not good at hiding her strangeness. But Howard had gone to the point of marrying her. He liked her strangeness. I think Howard was sick in the head before he ever met Pearl. I had heard people say this when it came out and thought it was just overhyped but I just watched it and...yeah. That was fantastic. Mia Goth hit it out of the park. Besides the whodunit discussion at the end, everything was awful. That's...fine, but I was shocked how they got such terrible performances out of good actors. On paper, this movie sounded right up my alley, but ended up being one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. Yeah, gross is a good descriptive. I agree it's not a bad movie, but not something I'd rewatch lol. The car stuff isn't even the most deranged part of the movie which is crazy. Yeah, he was a bit annoying, but I think that part of his character was how overly sheltered he was because Henry was overprotective. I was surprised how good it was. I'm not really familiar with any of the actors besides Stephen Dorff. Tim Blake Nelson was fantastic, I'll have to look out for him in other things. View all replies >
