Quick Reviews

Holy shit, this is so good. The story, the scenes, the music, everything. One of my favorites ever.

This movie is basically the first one but adapted to more modern concepts (social media, late stage capitalism). And honestly, that’s fine. It does better than probably most other unnecessary sequels do, and it was an enjoyable watch from start to finish. Bonus points for having Gaga in it.

It was cool to watch the Milan scenes while literally being in Milan, too.

Robert Eggers knows just how to transport you into not only a different time, but into all the brutality and supernatural aspects of its folklore. What a great movie, even if (thankfully) all the masculine energy it exhales is not my cup of tea.

A classic is a classic for a reason. Andy’s friends are a pain in the butt though, she’d be better off without them 😅

Fantastic. Incredible. The soundtrack alone would make any movie good, but pair with amazing visuals and an incredibly interesting story? Heck yeah!

There’s a bunch of good sci-fi movies out there, but very few that lean so much into the “sci” part of it. Everything that happens in the movie feels believable* even if they’re completely alien to us (it is a space movie, after all), and there’s a pretty good story in there too. If you liked The Martian or Interstellar, you’re gonna love this one.

_{*except for the idea of humanity working together to save itself, which is obviously never gonna happen.}

A very interesting premise in the beginning, very interesting characters in the middle, and an ending that stuck the landing. What else could you ask for? It doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is: a good movie. Wish more movies were like that.

There’s a great movie in here but I feel the pacing is really off. Each act takes waaaay too long to get going, and by the time they got there I was tired of it already, and ended up not caring as much. Good ending though.

While the movie takes its time to get going, it is so well worth it. It keeps reinventing itself every few minutes and just keeps getting better and better.

The soundtrack, though, is just on another level. It is so good. One particular scene is gonna stick in my mind for a while, it was freaking amazing. If you watched it, you know which one it is.

Gosh I loved this movie. A thriller that managed to make me both really tense and laugh out loud in the same scene without any of these reactions contradicting each other. It’s absolutely ridiculous in the best way.

Raw and gut-wrenching are perfect adjectives for this one. It wants to get its message across and pulls no punches in doing so: nobody wins a nuclear war.

While this is probably my least favorite of the trilogy, it’s still one of the best movies ever made. An outstanding achievement in all regards. I can’t believe these movies exist.

The extra scenes for the extended edition are also pretty neat, and add some extra context that is very welcome for a fan like me. The overall movie pacing gets a bit worse which is why it’s totally understandable why they were cut from the theatrical release. And another reason I’m glad the extended editions exist!

I just wish the final Saruman scene was in this movie instead of the next one. I feel like it’d wrap around this movie’s story a bit more nicely.

It’s still a fun movie, but it’s basically the same thing as the first one but with worse pacing and felt a bit too forced.

Can’t believe I’d never watched the extended editions before. This movie is just timeless, a perfect introduction to a wonderful world, amazing pacing, acting, environments and practical effects.

It’s almost 4 hours long but I wanted to start the next one immediately after it finished.

Cute with a hint of sadness, I love the combination. The art style and character designs are amazing!

I had no idea what to expect from this movie and it kept surprising me over and over. It’s already pretty long but I wish it kept going for a bit longer.

Watching this movie feels like a nightmare. Things happen and you really don’t have much say in it, then they start spiraling out of control and you’re completely unable to do anything. You can’t run, yell or fight.

The religious allegories are quite obvious and are great, but that nightmarish feeling was really something I hadn’t felt with a movie before.
