It's a tolerable action flick but it's unfortunate to see where Renny Harlin is at in his career. How did the man who made Die Hard 2, The Long Kiss Goodnight and Cliffhanger also make this?
I watched it about a week ago and enjoyed it quite a bit. It is very silly, but meant to be so. And it was never predictable.
It was like a nice piece of cotton candy.
I don't really think of donuts as a breakfast item specifically, but Pop-Tarts yes. Probably it has something to do with people associating a sugar rush with a burst of energy in the morning and, in regard to Pop-Tarts specifically, it's an easy item for parents to make for their kids while everyone is rushing around trying to get ready for work and school. Just put them in the toaster, wait a minute, and they're ready.
I certainly ate plenty for breakfast growing up.
It is not better than Resurrection.
In my opinion, Resurrection is most certainly the more enjoyable movie than Alien 3. I'll let others argue over which is "better." But in my estimation, if you found something to appreciate in Alien 3, you should be able to sit through Resurrection.
I actually had the same feeling. It was just an old-fashioned period rom-com about men and women falling in love with each other. No weird shit. How refreshing.
I have never read the book but I watched the movie last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. The production design and cinematography are amazing, the film is well-cast and features great performances, and Anya Taylor-Joy in particular is delightful in the title role.
It made very little at the box office, sadly, but I thought it was a good movie. Hopefully it's picked up a much wider viewership through streaming.
I can't agree with you. The first half is a little difficult to get handle on, because the plot is opaque and there are a lot of names thrown around, but it comes together in the back half. I literally laughed and I cried.
I found it to be a delightful film with an excellent cast. Anya Taylor-Joy's performance is wonderful and quite charming.
I was quite young when this film came out but old enough for my dad to take me to see it in the theater. I walked out having absolutely loved the film and was nearly obsessed with it for a while.
Then I didn't watch the film again for probably 30 years or close to it. My overall assessment was that it was a pretty good movie, and it was certainly a landmark film for comic adaptations, but it didn't totally hold up and wasn't quite as good as I remembered it being.
How would I have felt about it if I had been an adult in 1989? Who knows. As a kid, though, it was magical.
She's certainly pretty hot here:
