I got bad vibes from this for various reasons and reading some reviews saying its pretty crap and overrated. Can't trust critics these days all shills.

Do you trust ratings on IMDB? It's pretty high overall with an 8.5 and 33K votes.

With IMDB you have to look at the written reviews, you can weed out the trustworthy ratings from the obviously bad ones that way, with the numerical ones you have to chop out the 10, 9, 1, and 2 ratings off the bat to get a more accurate view as schills and superfans will auto vote 9 or 10 and haters will auto vote 1 or 2 (3's and 8's will happen as well, but they are more likely to be natural).
This is what I've done for ages there, but I miss the forums when you could get real conversation on the movies and actually tell what's what as it's how you knew people actually watched a movie (Amazon banned them as they wanted the ad revenue without the criticism that could hurt it). Mind you I mainly check the written reviews for older movies I haven't watched, the newer ones must be a pain to weed through, especially with more paid, studio written, and AI reviews that probably exist at this point.

Yeah that's true about schills / superfans and haters. But in a sense it all balances itself out.

I trust them for older movies, but not modern ones in the last decade or so. Brad Pitts F1 movie is rated 7.8 for example. Back in the day only great movies used to get anywhere near 8. These days fan boys and shills have really made ratings unreliable. They can be ok general guide but proceed with caution. Generally older movies are underrated on IMDB and new ones overrated.Top gun is only rated 7.0 while top gun maverick which is inferior in every way is 8.2, which is the realm of cinema classics.

IMDB is pretty trash these days ever since amazon took over and killed the forums, which was an absolute tragedy.

Saw it yesterday.

I didn't know much about this movie at all before going in. The first 45 minutes or so were a bit rough, since I didn't really all that much about the premise that was presented. About an hour in it got significantly better and more interesting and I was invested until the end.

Positives are most definitely the acting. Especially Sean Penn. Won't say much more about that. The movie doesn't go for realism and doesn't take itself too seriously, which could be irritating to some but to me it provided some levity and funny moments.
The cinematography is top notch, but that's to be expected for a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. There were some very impressive set pieces and camera work.



Easy 8/10 for me.
 
Movie of the year so far in a really weak year

I gave it a 7.5/10

Leos character was great

The first Top Gun is probably nostalgic for you, that's why you rate it up so high. Top Gun: Maverick is a very good movie on it's own. I don't know if you should compare the two. But you said older movies you give more weight to it and Top Gun is an older film and it's not highly rated movie per se.

There actually not many movies getting into the IMDB 250 nowadays. There is only been 9 films since 2020 that are in the top 250 and maybe 1 in the top 50. So I believe it still reflects a balanced guide / gauge to see what movies are worth watching or not.

IMDB has some sort of secret formula in figuring out how these films will be rated fairly, objectively. They been pretty accurate even till this day. I have no qualms about their ratings.

How would you rank it vs the Johnnie To film "Exiled"?

I ask because while I have watched quite a few Johnnie To films, I have never seen Exiled.

Agreed on pretty much everything.

Almost fell asleep in the beginning but then it picked up considerably. Real good, entertaining but not terribly deep or anything.

The reviews make it seem like it's a once in a generation film though. Nowhere close, but definitely worthy catching.

Best propaganda film I've seen since TRIUMPH OF THE WILL (1935). Hopefully this doesn't lead to antifa invading Poland in a few years.

That's one way of looking at it.

Another way is that it discredits and ridicules Antifa or any other similar movements. All the good guys are fuck ups (Leo being the main one), goofballs, and/or incompetent.
 
I saw it and gave it a 7.5 - 8. I like the acting. Everyone put in a good performance. I think my only gripe is that there are weird holes in the story like with what happened to the mother and what she did. The character played by Sean Penn, basically an ICE stooge, is so far right that I think they where trying to make satire but the problems is that these wack jobs with these types of jobs do act like this so it is impossible to even do satire. I liked the movie overall. There were parts that were exceptional and others that were average. I feel like this movie was like one more script revision from a classic film. It almost has all the parts it needs
