Shia La Beouf is just weird ? what sort of critique is that of someones acting, weird good or weird bad? I get you don't want to seem supportive of someone whose been cancelled but least give us a bit more than just is weird.
I honestly liked the way they did the CG, since it felt like a callback to early 2000s classics, and I think the clunkiness of it at times kinda lends itself to the Mad Max universe even more. I find it charming, and kinda adds to the epicness of it all.

What a career and life, to already be one of the founders of the Hollywood new wave and have made a few of the greatest cinema works ever, only to then spend a fortune of your own money to see your own artistic vision come to fruition. Hes right, hes earned the right to die satisfied. Im envious but happy for the man.
I don't even care if the story doesn't make sense, it looks epic and like all unique cinenma, entering another world. If a man is willing to spend his own money to make it, you know he's not going to compromise his vision and that makes it a rare breed that deserves attention. I really hope this one will be release in my country.
Honestly I don't believe the mother is abusive I think they're on a deadline and she was just trying to push her husband to get the job done and the other mother loved Coraline but as a "miser loves money" she "loved" her but only as a possession or as I love pizza.
The cgi was in different frame rate, then the normal shots. It mega jarring. It why it more noticeable then other moives cgi. Doesn't help the movie being already bad.
He's just an old man now. Collecting ideas over the course of 40 years and not cutting off massive chunks will just lead to incredible bloat. Thus, it is only useful as a case study for what not to do. Nothing else.
Nobody crazy and sick like francis anymore During apocalypse now he sell his house cars and more for make movies and now he sell (some) wine company to make a masterpiece I don't give a f what critics say I gonna watch it Mayby it gonna be flop but in 10 years or 20 years it gonna be one of the best movie ever made for sure "in francis I trust"
Karsten, I love your work... But is every movie that you aren't 100% sure is a future classic "a mess"? Napoleon, Furiosa, Megalopolis and countless more seem to end up with a thumbnail along the lines of "masterpiece or mess". Surely these are bold movies that do something right and other things wrong, but I don't know if its a youtube optimization gimmick or if you've just run out of contextualizations for movies like this
There should be a term for movies that contain an equal amount of both legitimately great elements, as well as legitimately terrible ones, I've been noticing more and more of them, like they have some cursed half-life
Do you know they was a deleted scenes were buck was being a good father weather photographers are trying to capture chicken little, but the dad told him to go away. Why didn’t they put that in there? 😔
Final is perfect because it shows what life it is. You can't be an idiot, makes stupid things, break someone's life, to be drunk and use drugs. Whatever you are, you'll get bottom where you die. We love Bojack, I love Bojack, but he really deserves it. Death in alone
I'm a big fan of Richard Kelley's sci-fi movie Southland Tales, with Dwayne Johnson. Is the movie a mess? Yeah, it is. Does it have some bad performances in it? Sure...particularly from The Rock. Do I love it anyway? Hell, yeah. It's got so many great ideas, is so determined to be one-of-a-kind, and reaches so high in the sky that I forgive its schizophrenic tendencies (particularly with the FAR superior Cannes Cut). That's kind of the sort of film I'm hoping for with Megalopolis.
Coppola With Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and Brian De Palma use to be Hollywood Renegates in the 70s, for how much their ideas were agaist the hollywood structure. And while Scorsese is still doing strong (even though he barelly gets an award), Spielberg and De Palma still working but not doing that great like they use to be, Lucas and Coppola suffer a severe creative stroke in wich they became too overshadow by their own sucesses (star wars and the godfather) as well as them beeing too obsess with their ambitious ideas (the prequels and apocalipse now) that they barelly find work anymore.
I wanted so bad to love challengers since I love Luca and I was a college tennis player, but the tennis scenes were pretty tough to watch. Still solid but bottom tier Luca for me.
