Reviews

This movie should teach one quite a bit about poor moviemaking. There are some good things for sure, like some of the characters, the idea, the scenery, costumes, etc. The problem lies with a lazy script, the abundance of clichés, and problematic character behavior. This is the new trend with movies today. It's as if an algorithm spits them out.

I do respect the fact that, for once, they mentioned that people are complex, not one dimensional, good or bad. They were onto something and they could have expanded the idea a bit and played around with the how there is some bad in everything good and some good in everything bad. However, they were too all over the place for this. Instead they had a prince who fell in love with 3 different women, a forced friendship where one character would sacrifice anything for the other, like she had no life of her own, a woman treating her love interest like garbage or like he didn't matter (what message are they sending young girls?!?! There is a way you can be true to yourself and act decent, you know?!?!) a creepy wizard grooming a young girl (no one is disturbed by this?), and the rest was just stuffing of bland characters and clichés.

A movie is well done when it makes the moviegoer feel something, when it leaves an impression. This is the type of movie that made me feel like "Wait, what?" or "What the...?" or "Why would someone do that?". And even with the good things it had, it still made me regret wasting 2.5 hours on this.

I cannot put my finger on what was wrong with this movie. The story was good. I am not sure where it went wrong. It could have been Mila's performance, the perfect rich unicorn boyfriend, the one dimensional characters or the editing. First of all, the movie could have been much shorter. Second of all, it failed to make me care much about Mila's character. I don't know why. She had a good story and I understood what she went through. I think it's how she acted, it was a bit off, one dimensional. Actually all the characters were one dimensional. It was annoying in a sense, same stereotypes and say exactly what you expect them to say. And the boyfriend was just so patient and perfect it makes one nauseous. It felt unrealistic. It's one of those movies, that I am not sure if I am happy I watched or not.

I enjoyed the sequel just as much as the first. People who rate it poorly must take life a bit too seriously. This movie is not meant for dissecting every scene and coming up with reasons why it doesn't make complete sense. This movie is meant to be funny and entertaining. If something happens at the last second, who cares? I genuinely wanted all the characters to live so the fun would go on. I must say, I cared more about each character in this movie than most characters in the latest movies combined. I was ready to cry for each one of them when they were in a bad situation. That's what makes this movie good. The comebacks were sharp, the story made sense, and characters were very well developed for a comedy. God I hope they make more of these!

This is how a comedy should be done! The casting was perfect. The acting was natural and they all had perfect comedic timing. Could have not done better than this! This a movie where you don't nit pick at small details, you simply enjoy it. This is not the type of movie to dissect and see if something makes absolute sense or not. For example, I see people asking why Bill Murray dressed as a zombie? Who cares, the whole scene was hilarious! This is the type of movie that says stop taking everything so seriously and just have a good laugh. Whoever thought this up and produced this, a big thank you from me. Highly recommend.

The name of this movie should be "Just another big fat clishé". Can we please get some new dialogue in movies?!?! Can we please get some new backstories?!?! Can we please get some interesting characters?!? Simply making the cast diverse and some characters gay, does not qualify. It's like playing Need for Speed. You choose a different car or a different map, but you are doing the same thing over and over. I am so tired of these movies! We have the same one dimensional characters, either good or bad, nothing in between. The dialogue, personalities and characters' reactions are just an indigo copy of thousands of other scrips. Besides so many other things who are impossible or don't make sense, the ending is just plain stupid. There was no reason to believe for one of the characters would have acted that way.

What is the point of this movie? Who would enjoy watching something like this? This is not artistic. This is sick. I guess Netflix is going for shocking and disturbed in a desperate attempt to make money. Poor Marilyn Monroe, she must be turning in her grave since this garbage was released.

The whole movie is insanely slow and the way she speaks for the entire movie makes it seem like she is in someone's deranged fantasy. And guess what, she is naked half the time, so it probably is someone's deranged fantasy. They mix black and white with color scenes for no good reason or purpose. They keep showing a fetus moving in the womb... can someone please tell them a fetus reaches that size at 20 weeks?!?! Not when it's conceived... I get it, might be her dreaming I guess, but the whole thing is just stupid. I don't even want to continue writing this review.

Please don't watch it. You'll regret it.

How can this movie be done so poorly? How can the special effects be so bad in 2022? Also, why do we have the same old tired lines and dialogue decades later? Why does a dinosaur take so long to eat someone? It's it has to look above the car, under the car, into the prey's eyes and then pose for a photoshoot. It all seemed so stupid. I mean at the beginning of the movie Chris Pratt makes a promise to a dinosaur! It's insulting to the audience. This movie was long and boring and I was actually hoping the dinosaurs get to eat some of these boring, tired characters. I could not care less about what happens to any of them. I still have 30 min left of the movie, but I felt compelled to write this review while still watching it.

I think the plot of this movie is terrible: just a series of tantrums by some entitled teenagers. The acting is poor and the characters have no chemistry. I wrote a detailed review about the problems in the plot. It got removed with no reason given. I did not say anything controversial, I only used words as they were used in the movie. It's a sad to see that reviews get removed just because someone doesn't agree with an opinion! Here is my previous review:

The high ratings here are troubling. While this movie makes a few good points, the execution is embarrassing. There was also a lack of chemistry among characters and the acting was poor. Amy Poehler was below mediocre in her cringy mother character. And she directed this? Good grief!

I truly hope we are not promoting this sort of behavior as a society. Why are these teen girls so mad??? They must have truly suffered in this life... not. First of all, the girls did not follow the rules to nominate their friend for the award, then threw a tantrum because it "wasn't fair". When the opponent had an idea to address the students, the protagonist threw a tantrum because it "wasn't fair" and no one told them to do that. When things did not go her way (meaning she did not like the outcome of the votes) the protagonist threw a tantrum, stole from the principal and yelled at her mother and her mother's guest ("she has a right to lash out because the world is so unfair" typical scene). She then vandalized the school to prove a point without trying anything else first or do something constructive. She blames every single other person for her embarrassing behavior. It was just so convenient to the storyline that the bad "man" did something horrible (which no one even bothers to question if true or not), so that all those actions and tantrums were justified in the end, and that the annoying, tantrum throwing, frustrated by such a hard life, no personality teenager could be a hero.

With things happening in the world right now, and many women suffering, I am embarrassed for this garbage.

Five minutes into this movie I started looking at my phone, and 20 minutes into the movie I started praying that it will end soon. The acting was terrible even with such well known actors. The characters were very poorly developed and I could not care less what they wanted or if they survived ... I just wanted the movie to end. The dialogues are plain boring, the acting is painful, the costumes are ridiculous, nothing makes much sense and I wish I was passed out for these 2 hours of pure cringe. I actually feel little angry for being put through this.

Why does this movie have a 7.4 rating??? Have people lost their taste in movies? I don't understand it. I don't even know where to start. This movie had every single cliché possible plus the jokes were insulting to one's intelligence. The acting was just bad. The stunts were ridiculous. Nothing made sense (this should be a science fiction movie, since none of those stunts could ever happen given simple laws of physics). Yeah, the stunts also insulted my intelligence. I was left speechless...and for 2 hours. The car chases were plain boring. The shooting and fighting scenes where the good guys kill 100 bad guys, and the good guys don't even get a scratch from being shot at with automatic machine guns, were a big yawn. And there was a looong fight scene where people get thrown through glass and walls and they break each other's faces and then when they are shown 1 second later they don't have one scratch!!! That's representative of how much effort was put into this movie!
