When you have Chris O'Dowd's character breaking lame jokes in otherwise dramatic,serious scenes you know then the film is tonally deaf.
The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
Cloverfield, back in 2008, I remember watching it on the big screen and having a blast with the audience. It's one of the best monster films of all time, in my opinion. I adore the creature more than King Kong and Godzilla. Its beautiful and vicious.
The film begins mysteriously, then ends in the same manner. It made Reeves automatically one of my favorite filmmakers. Then, in 2016, I was taken by surprise again by 10 Cloverfield Lane. I had fun in the movie theater just as much as I had fun watching Cloverfield. Now, this mess, Cloverfield Paradox, just ruined the whole idea of the sequel. Wonder if Abrams was even there to watch over the artists involved. I'm not going to watch it. So, please feel free to spoil the hell out of it for me.

The tone is all over the place and it has a pace that is inconstant. The joke cracking every big scene kills it. Scenes do not flow into one anotherRohan wrote: ↑February 5th, 2018, 8:54 pmCloverfield, back in 2008, I remember watching it on the big screen and having a blast with the audience.

Dang it, you broke the unbroken chain of back-and-forth between Rohan and xWhereAmI?; I was about to tell them to get a room.
Are you saying that Selma is not even worthy of being called a TV movie?ArmandFancypants wrote: ↑February 5th, 2018, 10:17 pmYou're being unfair to everyone who knows about how to stage and shoot a scene.Vader182 wrote: ↑February 5th, 2018, 6:24 pmNo Armand, she just loves TV movies.

I'm saying I've got concerns over Ava DuVernay as a director in the A/V world. This includes 13th. I hope Middle of Nowhere proves me wrong when I get around to it... or maybe even the Disney flick.

This is probably gonna end up being the worst movie of the year.
Horrible, horrible, horrible.
