Late to the party, but what did everyone think of it?

>>213794287 (OP)
It was great.
>cue reactionary screeching by chuds for not taking a political stance that they can shitpost about

>>213794301
lol this trancel already triggered.

>>213794287 (OP)
>aaah I'm so emotional! Bad things happen and it gives me the sads ; ;

>>213794287 (OP)
It sucked. Couple kino moments but altogether, I was not entertained. Mostly bored. Ironically, had World War Z been like this movie, it would have been better.

>>213794287 (OP)
Maybe it's cringe to reference a trannyboxd review but I thought it was funny and spot on. Not a direct quote but basically Garland thought he was making Come and See but ended up with JCPenney Has Fallen.

>>213794287 (OP)
It makes journos seethe when they are getting the short end of the stick

Regular issue Garlandslop - long way from greatness but still above average and not boring.
I just personally felt its heart was in the wrongest possible place
>war photographers... LE BAD
War photographers aren't even in the top 1000 worst people in the media so I found the "bro these people are so callous they will photograph their dying mentor as they're dying" scene incredibly wrongheaded. Feels like he really wanted something to say about this topic and had absolutely nothing.

>>213794418
He wasn't trying to make them seem "le bad" it's more about how fast people get used to violence in a constant state of conflict.

>>213794301
So the only real qualms I have about the movie are these: Lee survived the final shootout, right? She urged the newbie to wear kevlar at the start of the movie. She must have been wearing kevlar and thus survived. So why did the fat black guy bleed out, why wasn't he wearing body armor?
>>213794329
The newbie was reacting to the first time she saw a dead body and to the first time she saw someone get killed in front of her. Perfectly natural.

>>213794287 (OP)
propaganda made specifically in response to trump's rise in popularity, released a bit late since he won either way
also, the pairing of california and texas on the same side made no sense at all

>>213794457
I find that an overly charitable interpretation considering how the scene was shot but you're entitled to your own opinion.

>>213794418
how did you come to this conclusion? the war journalists were shown as selfless heroes

Der Jeuden want a civil war of left vs right instead of an occupy wallstreet of everyone vs the rich.

>>213794743
The way the KDunst death scene is depicted. If you don't see it, I don't really know how I could convince you, it's obviously not explicitly said.

Cailee sexxo

This and Greyhound are two of the worst movies of the last decade or so

>>213794459
>Lee survived the final shootout, right?
What? No. Literally the entire point was that she died to save Cailee, proving she wasn't as heartless as she pretended.

>>213794287 (OP)
Everybody is butthurt that the film was about war aesthetics and journalism instead of real world politicians and group killing each other.
Leftoids especially hate it for no killing bad orange man so they could climax in the theatre.

>>213794418
It wasn't "war journalists are the worst", it was more about the mindset needed to exist in that world, and the huge disparity between the personalities of the people telling the stories (twats) versus the stories they're telling (gut-wrenching stories that remind people why we should be kind).
You can go further and the journalists represent the media in general with their parasitic nature on any story. It doesn't matter how they personally feel or what effect telling the story will have, they just want the money/attention/acclaim to be the ones to monetise it.
>>213794743
You're genuinely retarded, I'm so sorry.

>>213795166
>let me tell you how the other team feels about it
Christ you're insufferable.

>>213795215
OP asked exactly that, dopey.
Go read some Letterboxd reviews too see leftoid knee-jerking for yourself.

I did not care for it, felt like a waste of time. The journalists running in line with the soldiers at the end was ridiculous.

>>213795272
>letterboxd
>overwhelmingly positive reviews
>all leftists according to you
Doesn't that contradict your point and prove that you're an idiot?

>>213795075
>she wasn't as heartless as she pretended.
that was already established when she went after her at the gas station

>>213795396
It would if reviews were mandatory or liked based on agreeing with the rating instead of their content.

>>213794287 (OP)
>Late to the party, but what did everyone think of it?

Well acted and nicely filmed but otherwise, it's a Trump Derangement Syndrome propaganda flick.

>>213794287 (OP)
Was an okay movie. Some good scenes , some good shots.

But it's impossible to discuss online because burgers are completely retarded.

>>213795521
Couldn't agree more. Coming from a writing POV, Alex Garland is a goddamn wash up. Case in point w/ three movies: Annihilation, written and directed by, could not caprure the allure of the original book. Men... seriously, half of your audience are men, and you basically made a movie making men creepy as fuck. Civil War... Jesus fucking Christ, Alex, your TDS is so strong, you must jack off w/ your angry tears. Nothing here but shitty background of a despot breaking up the US by winning a third term (constitutional amendment overturned), Texas and California are a union (you know this is bullshit now), the Confederacy is alive and far more diverse than ever, and I didn't get a popcorn bucket to cum in as I watch DC get FUCKING LEVELED

I liked it. The roadtrip of little vignettes of country at war with itself was a better format than just nonstop silly large scale battles that some viewers seemed to want.

>>213795045
What the fuck is wrong with Greyhound?
I can get finding it extremely mid but worst movie of the last decade? were these the only 2 you watched?

>>213794287 (OP)
worst movie i've seen in the last 10 years unironically. should have been great but muh journalism

>>213796036
Well said. People apparently expected some Battle of LA sloppa with garland taking a political stance.

Compared to that i take what we got.

>>213796084
Retard.

>>213794301
>>213794525
Why don't you just watch it instead of repeating whatever some grifter told you to think about it?

>>213796125
triggered?

>>213794301
>reactionary screeching by chuds
is there progressive screeching by chuds?

>>213796499
Yes, whenever they screech about how diversity in the early 00s and 90s was handled so much better and how gay characters are better characters when they're not stereotypical caricatures

>>213794287 (OP)
Really liked it. Felt like a typical war movie but set in the us. Really really cool and great execution.

>>213795621
>DAT ASS

>>213794287 (OP)
Fun movie. Spaeny has a great ass for being so tiny. The cinematographer knew what they were doing. Shame dunst didn’t wear something more revealing.

>>213796231
Also, on that note, I'm also trans, just to make it clear
Anyways, go watch it before parroting shit

>>213796662
It was watchable.
Which is increasingly rare in this day and age.

>>213796618
Bumps.

>>213794287 (OP)
Stupid LARP movie.

The entire premise of the "War" in this movie is too vague to take seriously.

Nothing is 'grounded in reality' to give the conflict any clout. As if the director wanted to keep things ambiguous as to not trigger anyone.

>>213797269
>is too vague to take seriously.
What a fucking idiot.

>>213797335
>What a fucking idiot.
And you're a fuckin' faggot.

How about you explain it to me since apparently the way they told the story is about two states going at each other, but NOTHING about the ideologies behind them.

>>213797214
oh nah she a smoker nah she smell like an ashtray nah we Gucci nah we aint about that we good

>>213797269
>i must woooorldbooooold!

>>213797394
It's hot.

>>213794287 (OP)
My main problem with it is that the character don't act like people who having been living inside a war zone for the past decade. They act far too naive and easily mortified for what are supposed to be hardened war photographers who have seen the worst.

>he doesnt want to be dommed by a smokemommy
ngmi

>>213797398
What did this poster mean by that?

>>213797269
>As if the director wanted to keep things ambiguous as to not trigger anyone.
It had a lot potential as an idea but feels very stifled, clearly why they have to use CGI copters/vehicles and all that because the concept is a bit too on the nose for the military media branch signing off on

>>213796270
KINOOOOOOOOOO

>>213797524
I had not thought of this.

>>213795339
Any detractors of the journalism narrative got fully BTFO by the assassination attempt a while later. Photojournalism still makes waves.

>>213797605
I dunno if it's the memes or what but this was one of the only good scenes in this movie.

Bump.

>>213797379
Knowing more about the two sides would change absolutely nothing about the film.

>>213794301
>>213796118
>not taking a political stance

Wut? It was mentally ill leftist drivel. You trying to change history or what?

>GET AWAY FROM YOU BITCH!

>>213798232
Or was that crust guy who always larks as a conservative but does everything he can to subvert?

Civil War was a collection of cliche war movie scenes. Quite boring. Plus no one wants to see an old MJ. she was painful to watch.

>>213794287 (OP)
Very good movie that should've chosen a different title. Way too many retards went in thinking it's going to be about a Trump stand in who stages a coup and a group of black trans lesbian refugees beating him

>>213798628
>Way too many retards went in thinking it's going to be about a Trump stand in who stages a coup
That was the whole marketing stint of that movie...

>>213798628
I don't think The Journalists would have been as successful at the box office.

>>213798628
>about a Trump stand in who stages a coup and a group of black trans lesbian refugees beating him

that's literally what it was about and what happened tho

>>213798727
The title was misleading. I was expecting Ulysses S Grant and musket warfare.

>>213798727
Fair enough, they probably did it on purpose and came out well considering it made $130m

>>213798727
How so?

>>213798849

>>213798805

The movie came out at the start of an (controversial) election year. It was 100% banking on it.

It was ok, an interesting film about a hypothetical dystopian future for the United States.

>>213799419
bruh

>>213794287 (OP)
attempting some commentary about how photojournalism is necessary in it's exploitation of tragedy without actually being brave enough to exploit even a simulacrum of something real.
there's CoD campaigns with more balls than this movie.

>>213794287 (OP)
Decent flick. It's enjoyable to watch. If you're going in thinking it's muh based nazis taking over the senate, though, you're a fag.

It's like a zombie movie crossed with Salvador. It's a kinda based format, wish it had a bit more bollocks though. 8/10.

>no you must pooooolitcal!
Wait til you find out what civil wars look like in the modern age. All they did was move the setting from "African country you don't know" to America.

I loved it
Episodic road trip through the apocalypse. one of my fave genres. loved the "capturing the perfect photo" goal and the fact theyre all obvious adrenaline junkies.
the third act is bonkers and something you have to totally give into and suspend your disbelief for but if you do it works just ecstatically. soundtrack also great.

some top tier autism in this thread not understanding the government is blatantly right wing

Was a better adaptation of TLOU than the TLOU tv show.

>>213794287 (OP)
I love the ending

Yeah. That'll do.

>>213799788
kek, got these vibes, too.

>Ron Swanson as president

>>213799774
Apparently they wanted two hours of a guy in a armchair going "Oh hello, I didn't see you there" and explaining the alternate historical details of the world in minute detail.

>>213799913
Sorry I should have included "and another 90 minutes of two giant armies charging at each other like it was 1200 AD"

the only good thing about this DOGSHIT movie was Cailee prancing around for 2h

the new battlefield 6 game ripped off this movie

https://youtu.be/pgNCgJG0vnY?si=vE0l2eNVptar91o0

Watched it in VR. Dogshit movie. Complete waste of time.

Hmm

>>213800028
And yet...

>>213799969
Yeah no one ever came up with the concept of civil war before. That's crazy!

Sound design was fucking immaculate for this film.

>>213799974
respect the constitution... or else you piece of shit

>>213799913
>>213799929
correct take
background is often so dull

Could have easily made it a half hour longer with more little vignettes or episodes of life in the divided land. I liked the format of the movie.

>>213800041
Yeah

I don't know how you make a movie about a US civil war feel so low stakes and boring but Garland pulled it off. Feels like it was written by self inserting failed journalists

>>213800386
See: >>213799708
