I don’t even have any notes yet just finished watching and I highly recommend.

Terrible unfunny, boring overlong garbage. And I can take heavy handed, if it’s actually got a good message, but this lib shit isn’t it: Yeah let’s end our movie ostensibly about the non-expandabilty of life with a suicide saving the day. Yeah, let’s just pretend that aliens would definitely be cool with us colonizing their planet, if we’re just like cool and not-evil about it. If you assassinate a fascist leader, democracy will definitely immediately just come together to elect the actual most suited candidate. Stupid shit, watch better movies please
THANK YOU a lot of people on here thought it was mid but I liked it! It definitely dragged at times but overall it was entertaining and it got me a pretty emotional at times
Those people have no credible taste in movies. Yes it was heavy handed but some people need to get beat over the head with topics like the disposable underclass, colonialism, genocide, etc.
Which I think it did a wonderful job at. Also I loved the ending with the final interview if you know what I mean. That was a great little “twist” albeit one I saw coming.
Also the scene where he sort of has a threesome with his GF and his clone was funny as fuck.
Also I love the fact that they modeled the aliens after extremophile invertebrates like tardigrades, they were so cute. It also made sense for the environment they were in and why even the little baby one is so resilient. That whole aspect tickled my zoology brain

I think that’s a very good point. Like it was released in large chain theaters, so it’s possible that a good percentage of the audience are/were libs who NEED that. Like not everyone comes out the womb with extensive knowledge and nuanced understanding of those subjects, I know I didn’t, and people are still just starting to learn as frustrating as that can be for the lot of us. And the dinner table scene was so suffocating and the ultimate portrayal of dehumanization to me, I really wonder what it may have evoked in other people, too.
I loved the creepers so much! I didn’t think of them that way, but that makes total sense.
But yeah, overall it was a really fun movie .I love compelling and cerebral films as much as the next guy but I ALSO LOVE FUN and people seem to hate it lol
I didn’t think of them that way, but that makes total sense.
It was literally right in your face: They are aliens, no we are aliens, no we have to exterminate them despite they saved one of us and are clearly not hostile until we started kindapping and murdering them and their children. The allegory for colonialism, with Marshall taking about a “pure white planet” to colonize, what did you thinking he was talking about the snow lol?
Er I meant didnt think of them as Tardigrades, which is what you were talking about…Maybe I wasn’t clear about breaking my thoughts between the messaging of the film and then addressing you talking about that
Yes the aliens were so cute!
People expected a Parasite for some reason, but with Bong Joon Ho you gotta expect a Snowpiercer if it’s in English
.It was a fun movie
Snowpiercer is still the best Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sequel
Tilda as Wonka would make a dope movie
Yeah I mean, as far as I know Parasite was kind of the most overtly serious/political film he’s made?
Can’t repeated it enough, Parasite is the rare movie of him. All of his cinematography is straight to DVD okish sci-fi movies (and I love everyone one of them)
Memories of murder is a great feature film
I thought it was alright, but I wish they would’ve explored more of the storylines insinuated in the beginning.
Will add though, see a lot of comments about the messaging being “lib” or whatever, and I strongly believe that the messaging in US movies doesn’t matter nearly as much as people think because the average person can’t read (or doesn’t care to).
The end was very lib though, like the woman scolding everyone into being against the senator and the un actually doing shit and Steven Yeun while looking very fine, didn’t really have a role in this movie tbh. I liked the creeper species design though and especially the dehumanization and disposability aspect. The contrast between humans devaluing things they see as a collective, while the creepers dont was a interesting yet underdeveloped point. Also in general felt a bit nausicaa inspired.
But it was very mid and too much on the nose (get it its like DONALD TRUMP) that it almost feels goddamn cheeto into white house/ SNL territory. The ideas were strong and could have been into made a much more emotional impacting movie.
Inside
are two wolves:
Mickey 17 is a good movieMickey 17 is a terrible movie
I saw it yesterday. very good.
I watched with my gf
Nasha deserves her self Eifel Tower with Micky 17 and 18.
book spoiler
she gets that in the book
cowards
I’m glad some people liked it but I will not forgive this movie for its tragic under-utilization of America’s finest actor, Steven Yeun
We watched it not long ago on one of the /c/movies movie nights and it was SO GOOD. I didn’t find it funny at all even though it was listed as a “black comedy” but it was cute, it was intense, it was sweet, it tackled heavy topics. “Heavy-handed” is not bad – you have to make things clear.
I really liked it, and frankly don’t really understand why it has so many haters
Yah, it was heavyhanded but I felt like it probably needed to be. I enjoyed it, was kinda expecting more Mickey’s though. I guess the way the trailers were made me think they were gonna build their own army so I kinda had my hopes up that it’d be like a revolution of Mickey’s coming out of the wood work.
To expand on this
spoiler
Everybody’s complaining about it being too long, but right around the time of the potential threesome, I thought it was just getting started and was expecting them to start trading off days and “accidentally” create more Mickey’s.
Really? Disagree. I thought it was mid as hell, definitely funny at times but kind of boring and poorly written. That’s not to invalidate what you think of it though.
Just watched it the other day, actually. Not Bong’s best, seems like he was hitting the BONG before making this movie (get it?).
Still entertaining though! I liked the cheese of it all. Mark Ruffalo hamming it up was great, I liked his wife too. Forgot her name.
Wayyyyy tf too long. Yes it is heavy handed, but that didn’t detract from it. Just kind of meh overall though. Felt like Bong was just trying to have a good time and make a fun movie, rather than a piece of art. With that, he succeeded.
It made me horny to think about the two love interests having an orgy with the two Robert’s, so that was great. I wish they did that in the movie. Maybe the sequel.
Also the animals were cute!!! Loved the alien design.
I watched it a few nights back and although I thought it was well-made, well-acted, and entertaining, here are the few minor gripes I had with it:
-
The first 40 minutes were spoiled by the trailers. It felt like I was waiting for the movie to get going for a while. That’s more of a criticism of modern trailers than the movie itself though.
-
The deus ex machina ending felt anticlimactic:
spoiler
That the council could/would just immediately band together to oust Ruffalo once they saw his abuses for the first time via one Google Glass recording felt very unrealistic and immediately negated the stakes of the whole movie imo
Overall I enjoyed the movie and think it’s worth watching once, but I don’t think I have a desire to watch it again.
I didn’t really watch any trailers and watched it last night. I posted in the group chat with my friends that it was pretty mid during the first 40. Came out with the opinion that it was decent at the end if a bit cheesy.
My thoughts exactly
You did not cover up the spoilers really well. I want the press to know this
Mods. Mods!
Shoot my bad! I put my spoiler comment in spoiler tags, how could I have improved it?
Whatever it is, don’t affect the dots, the first “spoiler” (you can change the 2nd one), or the lines in anyway. You know how to preview stuff, right?
Janis
testing
Yes, I had the spoiler tags surrounding the part of my second point that contained spoilers which I didn’t alter. I previewed my comment and it looked fine to me. I think the moderators removed it because they considered the first part of my comment a spoiler which I didn’t 🤷
EDIT: mods restored my comment and yeah I fat-fingered my spoiler tags
I restored it since there are untagged spoilers all over the thread anyway lol. If you want to fix the formatting feel free but you don’t have to
Thnx, fixed! 👍
Not only that but what a laughable misunderstanding of liberalism.

Actually it sounds like you’re making the very same point I was trying to make, that it was unrealistic that
spoiler
The good guys would immediately oust Ruffalo’s character to right the wrongs he perpetrated

They could have done so much more with the base concept but instead basically just used it long enough to make the horny jokes and then dropped it entirely.
Moon remains the superior cloned-worker film
