Maybe It's True What They Say About Us (2024)

pedroAugust 9, 2024Funciona muy bien durante la mayor parte de la película, aunque la actuación se vuelve un poco aburrida de vez en cuando, especialmente durante esas tensas escenas de interrogatorio en las que los personajes se sienten frustrados o decepcionados. Me gustó mucho la historia, admiro cómo buscó tratar los temas de derecho penal de una forma bastante realista pero al mismo tiempo adoptando un enfoque pasivo debido a la necesidad de ser extremadamente formal.

Jeremy_BlandAugust 9, 2024If you're not a fan, this movie is a total bust. It's got all the issues that come with commercial genre films: an unoriginal and predictable plot, illogical plot holes, action scenes that feel cheap and fake, characters who change their minds for no good reason, and emotional scenes that just don't feel relatable. Relying on homages and nostalgia just isn't enough to make this film work.

Mason_CunninghamAugust 9, 2024This movie's got a huge expection to fulfill, with all those previous six films to live up to. It tries to honor and keep the legacy going, but the plot feels a bit mediocre, much like the fourth film. The homages are there, but they could've been done better. The marketing hyped up the older characters, but it's really Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren who bring the movie to life.

Saul_GainesAugust 9, 2024This sequel is pretty polished, but it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. It just builds on what's already there. Fans are gonna love all the nods and references that give them that warm, familiar nostalgia. Even if you're not a huge Star Wars fan, watching the original trilogy makes this one feel exciting and nostalgic. And those retro filming techniques just add to the whole sentimental vibe, too. As a non-fan, I can't help but feel that excitement.

Jayden_WatersAugust 9, 2024If you're not a Star Wars fan, this movie is still a solid Hollywood blockbuster with a clear genre and exciting scenes. The dramatic parts might not blow you away, but they're pretty decent, nonetheless. Any flaws in the plot are pretty forgivable for Star Wars fans. And if the next ones are this good, they could definitely bring back the excitement for fans and start a new pop culture wave.

Bonnie_DunlapAugust 9, 2024I'm really let down by this movie. It's basically a rehash of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" and it's starting to feel like a soap opera with all the family drama. The new Sith Lord is just not tough enough. The action, space battles, and dialogue are all pretty bland, and the whole thing is just too tame. It would be tough to stay interested if it wasn't for the nostalgia. The cool shots of galaxies and Han Solo's appearance were the only things that caught my attention.

Alisha_BowenAugust 9, 2024This movie definitely has some connection to Episode IV, Episode V, and Episode VI. But there are just too many nods and nostalgia in it. The plot feels like they just rehashed the one in Episode IV while switching the main characters' genders. Episode IV had those groundbreaking visuals, but this one doesn't have that same flairs. The new hero is all skilled up, but fighting a teenage bad guy isn't all that thrilling. The lightsaber fights are kind of meh. What really shines are the characters from before and that cute BB8 droid.

Mark_ClarkAugust 9, 2024Honestly, this movie is really tough to rate. The more brave and tough the female lead is in the film, the more tragic the real-life situation seems. There's just no way to make up for what that person went through. The movie does sugarcoat some details, but I think it helps make the story more accessible and gives the victims a little hope and kindness.

Alesha_PikeAugust 9, 2024This story is bleak, and the characters in the film feel kind of one-dimensional. The dad character, especially, is just a tool to move the plot forward, with no real depth or complexity. There were so many ways they could've dug into his character, but they didn't. The real story is even more terrifying than what they showed on screen. Watching some of those scenes was really unbearable for me as a parent.

Bernard_BuckleyAugust 9, 2024This movie is based on a real story, but the way it is presented is way too tame. The director smoothed over a lot of the details, so it doesn't have the same punch, and skipping over the hard stuff makes it hard for people to really feel it. The filming and editing are just not up to snuff, making it feel like a cheap online movie. With a subject like this, it feels like they missed the mark on what it's all about.

Cade_FergusonAugust 9, 2024This movie is based on a real story, and when I read the synopsis, it reminded me of that crazy news report from way back. Even though it happened long ago, it still has a huge impact, pushing the limits of morality. And while the movie doesn't make you feel super hopeless, I couldn't help but cry when the main character finally got rescued. It's crazy how much harder and more complicated real life can be than anything you see on screen.

Randy_FosterAugust 9, 2024This film is kind of a snoozefest. It goes through this crazy crime step-by-step but doesn't really delve into what's going on in the characters' heads. Compared to movies like "Room", it falls flat when discussing important social issues. The director seems more focused on creating this fairytale world where everyone, even the mom, sister, and the first love, is innocent and hopeful. It's kind of a bummer, honestly.

Robin_ZamoraAugust 9, 2024This movie is awe-inspiring. From the beginning, it's got this tense, heavy feeling that makes it hard to breathe. And that scene where the female lead and the kids play games in the basement is some serious grit and determination. I don't know if I could've done it like that. She is really tough. But thankfully, the movie has a beautiful ending, and seeing that pink hat made me tear up. It made me realize just how terrifying we humans can be sometimes.

Berniece_HoffmanAugust 9, 2024J.J. Abrams' directing style is really precise and polished, but it's also kind of predictable and doesn't offer any surprises. Disney's experiments with the first two films were controversial, radical, and a bit of a mess, and they showed that this trilogy just doesn't have the same level of creativity or depth as the original trilogy, even though they made a ton of money. The only good thing is the Reylo love story, but it's so short that it just leaves me wanting more.

Gabriel_WagnerAugust 9, 2024This movie tries to make up for past mistakes by piling on setups and nostalgia, but it just doesn't work. The lack of emotional build-up makes the nostalgic scenes feel flat and forced. The cinematography is great, as usual, but the messy script ruins the whole experience. Overall, it's okay.
