Letterboxd — Your life in film

This was really great. The main trio has a fun dynamic and great chemistry. The film was hilarious. Actually surprised about how much I loved this.

Watched the first episode. The animation is stunning and I’m intrigued to see where the story goes.

Update from November 29: Watched Episode 2. Continues to be intriguing.

Update from November 30: Watched Episode 3.

This was to my own surprise a massive disappointment. Visually and technically it’s pretty marvellous. But the story is infuriatingly dull. Not really a fan of the score and it truly drags a lot. Maybe I’ll rewatch it in a few years and have completely changed my mind, but this honestly really bored and annoyed me.

Two episodes in. I’m intrigued to see where they go with the story, which is surprisingly different after Episode 2 compared to the film.

Update from November 27: Watched Episode 3 and 4. The last one was especially fun thanks to Young Neil.

Update from November 28: Finished the show. I enjoyed it overall, although I’m not as over the moon as most other people.

It’s enjoyable! The action and gore is fun, some of the humour as well. Due to its short runtime it works perfectly fine.

I enjoyed it. The battle scenes are great and definitely the highlight. Two solid lead performances and directing. The film is surprisingly comedic which sometimes works and sometimes it’s a bit unnecessary. The screenplay is pretty messy though. Multiple characters just disappear mid-story and never return. It also doesn’t fully explore all aspects of this story to its fullest potential. While I at times felt the runtime, I’m still curious and looking forward to the potential 4-hour directors cut.

I didn’t expect to watch this today as there wasn’t an official release plan here but then today, I randomly stumbled across an article that said it was shadow dropped on Amazon Prime Video. Suddenly, my evening plan was sorted.

I enjoyed it. It’s funny, especially the scene in the cafeteria. The story is pretty predictable, but as long as there are a few laughs in a comedy film, I’m happy.

I’m surprised about how much I liked this. It’s really funny thanks to Ryan Reynolds’ impeccable timing and facial expressions. Some Humor still misses though. Sadly the screenplay screws a lot of character develop down the bin and rushes things to get every character where they need to beat the end. It truly wouldn’t have been hard to make it a bit more smoother. Still I have to say I had a really good time with this one!

Also quite fitting that I watched this on the day where the reunion ad of Reynolds and Smart for Aviation Gin was released.

It’s ok. The film needs some time to find its footing and I still think that for a romcom there really wasn’t a lot of romance. But in the end, yeah sure it’s ok for a Christmas movie night.

Every time when our main trio is onscreen, the movie is great fun. But when they aren’t, it feels like something’s missing.

I enjoyed this one. It recycles a handful of story beats from the first one and it’s screenplay isn’t the most well rounded but it still has the Charme of the original.

It’s solid. I still don’t really like the mixture of animation styles in some of the scenes. It always takes me a bit out of the film.
