What movies are you watching?

[epilogue]

You threw "progressive" into the middle of that list just to annoy people, didnt you? When you say a film is "progressive", what do you mean?

In this case, I absolutely did it as a jokey reference.

I mean, if you can't laugh at yourself...

Baby Driver.

Boring lame excuse of a movie. Wright is so busy trying to be cool, to have the coolest soundtrack and sequence that he forgets to make an actual movie....the love chemistry between the main character and the girl is zero. What a waste of time.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - I liked this for the most part, had a typical Guy Ritchie feel to it, but the wheels started to fall off towards the end

John Wick Chapter 2.

Well, i love Keanu and i like this character but it was a little boring. Im not sure this is a 2 hour long movie.
The Jerry Cantrell song at the end rules tough.

I was so excited for the soundtrack and it's just about the most boring thing I've listened to this year.

I liked the way it set up and carried the deaf bodyguard, that was really impressive. The shooting (film) was also amazing, with the amount of colors and action and style that just kept coming at you. Though that was almost to it's detriment at times.

If the soundtrack is boring....the movie clearly sucks.

Dunkirk. Really not good. It has a few strong points (performances, which are GREAT, and the score which is very effective) but relies far too much on editing to hack together a vaguely coherent story. I don't know how one could watch that and come away feeling like they just saw a satisfying piece of filmmaking. Also Nolan's blocking choices are bizarre

I've heard there's little character focus or development, and that it's not really a great story nor a great war movie. Is it really a case of an unseen enemy?

Is this one of those movies that are better enjoyed if you read the book, or are aware of the true events that it's based on?

It seems I liked Dunkirk more than most. It's still not a great film. The performances are amazing. The score is... fine? It's effective, I guess, but it's also really front and center. It's a very in your face score. Which isn't necessarily bad but it did pull me out of the movie from time to time.

The editing itself didn't bother me. But I did feel that the narrative choice was unnecessary. The time jumps and non-linear nature also took me out of the movie at times.

I do disagree (as some have said) that the film lacks feeling and emotion. I had very visceral reactions to the final act especially. Ultimately, I liked but didn't love the movie. Definitely, one of the lesser Nolan films. But it still has a lot to like about it. Performances, tension, imagery, mood, and a very powerful final act.

I wouldn't call it a "war movie" at all.

What a fucking rip-off! This A Ghost Story movie wasn't scary at all!

That final act was hilarious. He just piled on a bunch of phony, manipulative, melodramatic "triumph" to the end of his dead-eyed, emotionless movie in a very "This is what humans feel, yes?" kind of way. He is a robot.
