being honest gets you killed in this world. that is the over bearing message of the movie.

say what you want about the overall movie but some of the scenes in here... gold

This s*** might reach Cats and Borderlands levels of "being famous for being so bad"

My only gripe with this was the 💣 scene, reminded me too much of The Batman and it’s really lazy and the way Harley changed towards the end seemed too abrupt, but other than that this was a solid sequel.

Joaquin is f***ing great, I hope one day he comes back 🤞 and the opinions for this in the future is 100% going to change, lot of you just disliking it for the sake of it

I thought this was actually a good movie. Certainly not as good as the 1st one but Gaga was surprising good in this and I understood the musical stuff even if it got pretty tired at times.7/10

users in here expecting prime kurosawa from every new release is why filmbros get put into the same bracket as public shooters and losers.

not everything has to be high brow

James smart not tying DC Studios to this

Bro said enjoy slop every once in a while for f***s sake!

I don’t think it’s that and ppl hating probably haven’t seen Kurosawa - it’s for sure the musical side, everyone knew but some still feel agitated about something they were gonna dislike anyway

Brother again, you can say this about any other capeshit movie

But this film and this series in particular is a clear attempt by the filmmakers to make a high brow comic book movie.

Venom is a movie I’m expecting to be dumb as s*** and have fun with. This is a movie where I know the intention of the filmmaker is to have some commentary on a subject through an artistic lens. That just falls flat here

Gunn posted that first trailer & that was pretty much it. Don’t think he was even at the premiere. He does NOT f*** with this lmaoooo

This series is not high brow in the slightest

its not to us because we have seen other movies. it's clearly shooting for high brow. listen to todd talk about it, he thinks this is high brow. thats where the filmé kino stuff from these movies comes from. it thinks its a weighty lofty substantive high level movie

Going by definition sure. I guess an attempt at a “prestige” comic book movie makes more sense to say.

This movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival, the first one won the Gold Lion at the same festival. If that doesn’t tell you the aim that the filmmakers have with these two movies I don’t know what does.

Pulp Fiction won Cannes ‘95, but it’s not high brow - I think this is pretty digestible so I don’t label it like that. I’ll check out what Todd had to say @Everest

I watched this movie with my weed vape full with a good portion of 2g of weed and laughed my ass off and had a blast.

my top 5 films on letterbox

Are

Persona
Death Wish 3
Wish Men Can't Jump
Exorcist 3
Seventh Seal.

i'm too old to give a f*** about the general audience reaction, but wise enough to know that Megaflopolis is up there with 9/11 in terms of being offensive

It’s not. You’re right in saying that. But like @Everest said that is the filmmakers intention

Finna go see this after work might take an edible before I see it

Took a lil bit more than the recommended dosage lets roll baby

i watched it baked too, its intense at times because joaquins performance is crazy

its not that bad of a movie tbh people just mad as f*** that it turns its back on the fans of the first film, especially anyone who watched the first one and worshipped arthur like he is like heath ledgers joker, hes not, they are completely different

still by far better than any s*** marvel has put out recently, deadpool aside, the RT score is not fair at all, IMBD score is more fair, i would rate it a 7/10 all things considered, and it definitely makes you think about it long afterwards and what the message of the movie was.
