Hail, Caesar

>6.6/10

What the hell? This film was fantastic.

Fucking plebs.

it was a little boring

>This film was fantastic.
i agree. best cohen in a long time, easily in their top 3 for me

You probably think Wes Anderson films are good too.

>would that it twerr so simple

Scar Jo brought it down

Is it Marvel or DC?

no, it didn't quite work & brolin certainly couldn't carry it. it's actually too subtle for its own good.

you mean it's too subtle for the pleb masses.

Fuck off the coen brothers are massively overrated

>That shot when Channing Tatum ballet jumps onto the submarine

It was the worst movie I have ever seen in theaters. Not that funny, and it was boring.

pleb

What did you think of A Serious Man?

*Jonah Hill

...

I didn't bother seeing this in theaters. I had that happen with burn after reading

Scar Jo was in the movie for 5 minutes, Jonah the Hill was in the movie for 2 minutes.

>that adorable scene at the nightclub with the spaghetti lasso

I really liked seeing actors that I thought couldn't do shit doing intricate dance routines and shit

>any adorable scene with Hobie

6.6 is about right. Pretty good, but weak for the Coen brothers.

Coen's cant do comedy.

Burn after Reading was also a piece of shit, only tryhard redditors like these movies.

I don't know. It was cool if a bit odd to see Robert Downey Jr and Samuel L. Jackson in the same movie. Hell, Judd Nelson was just an extra treat.

I haven't laughed so hard during a movie in ages. Ralph Fiennes is hilarious.

It had a lot of great individual scenes, but didn't amount to much more than that.

>not liking a movie that shits on Hollywood Communists

I really enjoyed it

What? It was the most Coen Brothers movie the Coen Brothers have ever made

Really I still haven't watched it. I dwnld it from the best open directory of all time before it went down and have most of the movies that opened in the last 4 months on a hard drive, I just have so much catching up to do...

Tatum was solid throughout.

>Coen's cant do comedy.
They nearly exclusively do comedy. If you don't like them just say so.

It's just reference humor, scene after scene of fairly lazy references to old Hollywood people and movies that they half heartedly try to turn into a narrative film.

Expect that in a few years, once a reddit post containing a list of every reference has been shared a few thousand times a lot of try hards will pretend to love how deep this film is, and how you just don't get it!

It's because he wasn't required to emote in any way.

Why are you so obsessed with reddit?

Retard pls go.

No, it was because he played a closeted gay.

Welcome to IMDb.

It was meh. Coens have done much better than this.
>brolin certainly couldn't carry it
Good point. I'd say it's 50/50 Brolin and his character.

I've only mentioned it once, dude chill out, if it makes you feel better I'm sorry I called your home page a bunch of try hards.

>I only mentioned it once for no reason

I only brought it up unprovoked to prove that I'm better than those people no one was talking about, why does everyone think I'm insecure?

again i can only reiterate that i am very sorry i called people on the internet try hards. it will never happen again.

Only redditors apologize

Shit was Hollywood pandering, boring dreck.

It was all Style, no substance.
However, Drive was the same, so I'd rather critics were consistent at least.

It's not even close to older Coen bros, 6.6 is a little harsh but I wouldn't go over 8/10

Yeah, that score is low, I think. There's some substance in the movie, and if you can handle the Coen brothers sense of humor, it's very entertaining. It's kind of about how self-righteousness and self-serving is at the heart of capitalism, and how it has gradually supplanted the idea of storybook Puritan morality in the United States. On the other side, the communists are so inept and naive it's hilarious. I don't know. I really liked it.

It criticised communism and showed religious sentiments in a positive light.

Can't have that these days.

It's nothing new when it comes to the Coens' existentialist outlook that permeates their films. It's again a story of an individual who has to make choices for himself when the universe or a larger force seems to conspire against him. It's no wonder that Mannix fights not only against a socialist cabal but also against the elements of the system he ultimately defends.

>showed religious sentiments in a positive light.
I wouldn't call it exactly positive. The scene with the religious leaders portrayed them as quibbling idiots, not to mention the fact that the priest to whom Mannix constantly turns to for confession and advice is shown as apathetic.

It came across as some sort of tribute or celebration for old hollywood and some of the cultural aspects that came with it. A lot of great visuals and moments that highlight the spectacle of those times and it really captured the feel (at from how it comes across to someone looking back at those times with the actual movies.

But ultimately the story was essentially pointless and just seemed to serve as a loose thread for all the neat things the Coens wanted to show about hollywood back then. The aimless story hurts the movie more than expected but its still worth a watch.

It actually fucking wasn't though. Like what was even supposed to be the climax? The gay navy dude communist jumping across on the soviet submarine? The infantile crypto-commie arrogant actor forgetting his most important line toward the end?

Pacing was also all over the place of course, like dude haha funny skit scene which makes no sense and now CUT here's another scene, also look at scarjo in a swimming suit OMG i have to share this on ig asap

This is a bad movie overall

>Squint! Squint against the grandeur!

It seemed to play off religion itself as perfectly fine, while offering criticism of the people involved, which is pretty safe.

>Coens
>Climax

go back to newfagkino

>[divine presence to be shot]
I laughed so hard at that

Can someone offer criticism without resorting to ironic shitposting?

When I heard that line my friend and I both looked at each other for a second, and then we just lost our shit.
We were the only ones laughing

Did you make out after :3

>DUDE movies don't need a climax because it's so arts-farty superior when you don't have one xDD

And tumbledditor hipsters consider this good filmmaking

It's not better, but it's not necessary.

yes
plottwist I was the girl

Who /squint/ here?
