It was a very meh movie. 5/10 is my rating for it.
I enjoyed the robot designs and their over the top kooky personalities. Chris Pratt gives a fun performance but it's your standard fun guy part he's known for. The film takes place in the 90s and leans on the nostalgia for it's aesthetic and music. Be prepared for malls, Mtv news, and the flying toaster screen saver. The soundtrack does the Westworld thing and plays 80s and 90s hits with the slow piano bit.
Millie Brown isn't great in this. She's not a Mary Sue or a girl boss in this, her character is just kinda bland. The two antagonist, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci, are not great. Giancarlo's General Bradbury is the same Esposito villain character we've seen before. And Tucci just walks through this performance.
The biggest problem for me is, and maybe I'm stupid, but the Russos didn't seem to nail the analogy for the robots. Do they represent blacks in the civil rights, American Indians, slavery? There is also this line in the movie
Humans are a tire fire in the middle of a lake of piss
She isn't great in anything. But one of the final curses Tumblr put on us was making Stranger Things some sort of cultural icon that you cannot criticize and making her a "big thing" that Hollywood tripped over themselves to shove everywhere.
They literally made her a main character in a fucking Godzilla movie that had 4 monsters fighting for screentime, but made sure to show her winning the fight for him.
Millie brown looks like a clueless forty year old Russian mail order bride who eats the aluminum foil instead of the popcorn in order to maintain her figure.
That is quite specific
I have several questions. Foil as in aluminum foil, or the stuff in the popcorn bag? Does this refer to a specific person?
For why I know it's in there, as a random thing I've done a couple times I've flipped a popcorn bag inside out and ate it because I wanted more of the butter flavor. When I spit it out there's metal in the bag somewhere
I checked her IMDB and it's all terrible movies.
King of the Monsters, and somewhat vs Kong, are both great movies but she is one of the worst parts in them both. The human elements to monster movies are already bad, but adding in an annoying vaguely brown teenager who is just better than everyone is mind boggling.
Agreed. I always take the boy out to the theatre whenever a new Godzilla film comes out and Millie is the worst part.
