yeah I dipped. couldn't stand the back and forth. there were at least 3 scenes off the top of my head that made my eyes roll all the way back in my head. the little square bullshit that kept coming up on the screen was really pissing me off I predict this makes Tetra's worst of the year list
Knew I was going to hate the gimmick, but still went in giving this a fair chance. This was putrid and easily the worst film I’ve seen this year. Hated the score, how it looked, the performances, set designs, costumes. Phony. Bland. Boring. Uninteresting. Vapid. Manipulative. A few edits were kinda cool I guess? Seeing this after what happened last night probably made me hate it even more, lol.
this is better than the last three zemeckis films (i mean, MAYBE the witches? certainly marwen and pinocchio) but it remains a total clusterfuck. no surprise but you never buy that tom hanks is supposed to be the son of paul bettany’s character
Absolutely nothing in this worked for me. I legit felt like I was watching propaganda videos from the cult I was raised in.
Whether you loved or hated this, the Blank Check episode this sunday is gonna be quite something. Griff & David saw this yesterday post-election and both HATED it
haven't really been keeping up with blank check for awhile but they were my main reason to go see it. I don't think I will though lol
Tom Hanks gaslighting his ex-wife with Alzheimer’s into thinking she liked that house is one of the funniest endings I’ve seen.
This was an interesting idea in parts but the ending with the bird is maybe the worst ending of the decade.
The whole film keeps reminding us about the cyclical nature of life, from the dinosaurs to the Hanks-Wright family. We understand this through the common human experiences that cut across culture and time period: we are born, we explore our surroundings as children, we explore our sexuality, we begin to lose our passions as life makes more demands of us, we begin to live our dreams through our children, and our bodies begin to fail us. We understand that that is what connects these different families across very different time periods. The CGI bird it just way too literal of a cap to put on it. The entire last portion with Alzheimer's Wright is regrettable; she hated that home because it represented all of the compromises and delayed promises that Hanks and life overall represented for her. We don't need that sort of ending because it isn't true to life; the "happy" ending should be that the daughter seems to be the successful story that the family had been working toward for multiple generations.
