Just saw it, what was thisVader182 wrote: ↑October 9th, 2018, 11:24 pmguys holy fucking balls what was this movie
like really, what is it
I'm in shock of how this was greenlit, this is one stylishly incoherent movie
it doesn't even have "acts" things just happen in a herky jerky random chaotic manner for two hours without a lot connecting them and half the big decisions don't make sense sense. Nothing is developed. It's just bad.
The actual filmmaking saves a lot of the movie, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Where the first film was a well-oiled, tightly edited thriller. This film is like someone took every major talking point from Fox News and made it a movie.
What makes the original special is how much restraint D-Ville uses. And I think that's why this film feels like it has zero tension. I just remember explosions and gunfire and Muslims and Mexicans are bad and they're in cahoots and that's about it.
Music sounds like someone listened to JoJo's score for about a minute and asked Hildur Guðnadóttir "so can you sorta do something like that?"
Color grading is orange-ish to make it so that I guess some people will say "okay at least it mildly looks like the original".
Ending sucks, feels like it was shoehorned in.
pointless/10

lol fair enough
worse probably than the fact this is barely a movie is that it stokes a lot of non-existent far-right wing border / terrorism fears in highly problematic ways

This movie is significantly better than the original. The original is less a thriller and more a trite and vapid character study with far less to say than it thinks it has. "'They break the rules but she's not down with it!' The Movie". Emily Blunt's character was so unoriginal and stagnant that I had no interest in the story. She's almost a blank slate for the audience to vicariously live through and empathize with, not an actual character. For this sequel, they went in the opposite direction and focused on the best part of the original, Brolin's and Del Toro's characters. The convoy ambush is more intense than any part of the first. It obviously has many flaws, including the ending, but it's a decent movie and an improvement over its predecessor.
hahahahaha
