I have the set too and love it, the only one I hadn't seen was Rosemary's Baby it was so much fun to finally watch it. I would definitely advise going into Sweeny Todd blind. Just remember it's very much a Tim Burton movie. If you like him I think you'll like this one, I'm a huge fan of it. Nice review m8
congrats on 200 videos! huge achievement! I love the Star Trek movies more so than any of the TV shows (fave being Voyager), my fave out of the movies has to be the next one, where if my memory serves me correctly was 'The Search for Spock'? Anyways Sir, greetings from the UK and I look forward to more of your content! Have a great day!
It's made over 80 million profit so far, so there'll probably be a sequel. Like you, ultimately I think it's pretty good, pretty flawed; room to improve in a sequel, maybe.
You're right about Delia's messy character development, I think they missed the point there, they could have left her exactly how she was and her reaction to what else was going on could have been funnier---just like the 1st one
It's all subjective, of course, but I feel that the 'details' is precisely where Halloween 5 sets itself apart. For instance, when Loomis enters the Myers house in the afternoon, they play gentle strains of the exact same music they played when he first entered, on Halloween night, a decade prior in the original(when he went there with the sheriff). Or when Myers staggers up out of the stream, the entire aura matches perfectly with the time and place and situation...his body language, and the way he looks absolutely exhausted...as if his power is fading right along with October..the gentle wind, of the kind that seems to only happen just before dawn...the rustling fall leaves, as you'd expect early on the morning of November 1...Or the sequence at the Carruthers' house, where Myers' breathing permeates everything....so many of the films fail to adhere to this tendency, but Halloween 5 makes his muffled breathing a perennial part of the backdrop to the film, just as it had been in the original. The original motif-of Myers stalking people, and Loomis stalking him, forming a kind of 'triangular hunt'-is central to Halloween 5. No other film in the series is as loyal to this premise.
Great review! :) It's interesting that you describe Brandon Lee's performance as "Jokeresque," since I've seen in a few other reviews speculation that Heath Ledger's iconic performance as the Joke in the Dark Knight may have been inspired (at least in part) by Lee's Eric Draven. Also fun fact about the scenes shot after Lee's passing (in case you didn't know): his stunt double filled in with Lee's face super-imposed over him; and that stunt double was Chad Stahelski, who would go on to direct John Wick!
I absolutely love this movie I have been watching it since at first appeared on HBO all those years ago. I have the DVD with 1 and 2 on it and I saw part 2 in the theaters. 3 and 4 were OK for what they were. You could never do that movie today
I also watched part 2 not knowing what is going to happen because I have not read the books. I started to read the first book though. I wish I read the books much earlier 🤷🏻♀️
I was on board with you. Knew nothing about them going in. Was absolutely shocked by the deaths. Wasn’t expecting the deaths at all. Another great review was hooked until the end 😎
Hey 👋 New sub. I saw this at the theater and I thought the last 40 mins were the best parts. The build up to that was a little slow. I also review movies as well on my channel. Have a good weekend.
Thank you for your feedback! I’ll make sure to check out your channel! I always appreciate anyone who takes the time to watch a video of mine and subscribe to my channel. Thanks again!
I think the original sequels for Planet of the Apes often get over looked. Conquest is my personal favorite sequel, as you said Caesar's speech is a highlight of the whole franchise. I think Roddy McDowell did such a great job playing Ceaser and could convey the anger of the apes so well. Great review!
You should consider adding the release dates somewhere in the video titles, especially for franchises and remakes like Planet of the Apes.I decided to check out your past videos but at a glance it's confusing if the reviews are for the original movies or the remakes.
I know I am in some deep water here as so many individuals who review movies and tv shows have a vast amount of more knowledge than I do. However, I try to give my most honest opinion of movies whether I like it or not and hope that I can always have some advice to absorb from the comments. Reviewing movies started as a hobby but is now a passion. I recognize that I do not have the proper equipment to make these videos the way I imagine them but until I can upgrade how I make these videos, I welcome any advice on reviewing movies. I started only months ago but have grown to love doing this. Thanks again for your thoughts everyone!
You are fine Bro 👍🏻 don't stop doing what you like to do no matter even those other more experience revierer can get it wrong too. . And I hope you have a blessed one.
I know I may seem to be lacking certain film knowledge but reviewing movies has been a creative, experimental, and social experiment I have used to build more confidence and improve my speech. I love movies and try to give my most honest opinions on movies I do and do not like. It is somewhat overwhelming when reviewing a classic film such as Planet of the Apes but I always welcome any and all advice.
Really good review man, not sure why this came up as I haven’t been watching anything about the planet of the apes or many film reviews for that matter as of late, but I think this was a really cool video, and a hot take to look at a remake. You should definitely try to get into editing so you can insert parts of the film and flesh out your videos a bit more man! You have great opinions and you are a great talker!
@@thataintitchief553thank you so much. I haven’t really had the time or opportunity to expand what equipment I have just yet but these videos serve not just as a hobby; but as a way to continue my speech and “people skills”. I would love to learn how to edit video clips into my reviews. Thanks again for the advice.
You should read the original novel by Pierre Bollier (or however you spell it) he is French Author who wrote the original planet of the apes book. Without giving too much away, in the book Ape society is much like ours with Helicopters and cars etc.. in the movie as we see Ape society is much more primitive which actually works much better - considering the 'secret' of the movie -- and when compared to the book which is major different. But what the movie is trying to say is simply incredible which is the reason it is such a sci-fi classic -- see my other comment.
I read that was done intentionally due to budgetary concerns. But the book is actually pretty good. If you're into this series from the movies of yesteryear with the reboots of today, add in the TV series and the cartoon show, then that blasted book ending is worth the read. Dystopian novels is where it's at? Although Rod Serling did a pretty good job of converting over the source material to the big screen, most projects that guy was involved with are worth a watch.
