A stillborn franchise attempt, how sad. Even more for kids than the last one, mashing up book concepts like there’s no tomorrow.
-
Some porn with flimsy plot, not very French. This has aged horribly, there are cancellable offences left and right. It’s tamer than daytime reality shows.
-
More softcore banging with yet another excuse plot, but with better cameras, more girls, and less rape. There’s even less plot, “let’s fuck” is uttered unironically.
-
What the hell is this, why is Robert Zemeckis directing a soap opera for the Chinese? Sure, they laundered their money through Paramount, but there’s the Huahua company logo at the start, probably some Chinese billionaire front.
-
It’s not that bleak, actually. They find “plenty” of food (and eventually lose it), there are several bands of marauding cannibals, but also regular people too. Just like the real world, with much less people.
-
They mean Mohawk, some kind of sub-tribe? I do not fully understand the Native American ways.
-
Regular middle-class second generation immigrant cannot make it on the police force, no matter how many trappings of upper class signifiers he picks up. He takes the harder way and gets shot for his troubles.
-
Whaddya know, it’s a Mel Brooks film. A kind of high brow Airplane!. It’s a bit intense, a lot of “niggers” and “chinks” thrown around, and enormous amounts of gay jokes.
-
The emotional arc of Vader’s story, intercut with childish teddy bears and a bunch of action scenes of no consequence.
-
More of this sort of childish space opera. Jar Jar Binks is like a C-3PO on steroids, it’s grating on the ears. Even on more serious scenes, that tinny voice is there, hammering away at your ears.
-
Yeah, it’s all right. Just another campy space opera, with action driven plot (lifted straight from The Hidden Fortress), young whippersnappers, and older British actors collecting their paycheck.
