Ooft. To say that the reviews of Y2K At Max hasn’t been big, maybe be an understatement: Decider.com said it’s “The film equivalent of the phrase, ‘Hello, do you remember the sneaker -the hallists?'” And that the manuscript is “spinning and slurp”.
According to Empire, the problem is that the film “leans too strongly in nostalgia; it is far more concerned about well -known products and pop culture information than with how its characters can behave”. Sub -comedy, part drama, it does not completely commit to and fall flat as a result, which means it is not one of the best max movies.
It’s a shame because the premise sounded funny. But there are plenty of more entertaining opportunities at Max right now, so here are three very different films that need to excite and joy instead.
Logan
Look at
You know the drill: Hugh Jackman, Adamantium Claws, Patrick Stewart as Professor X. It’s “The best Wolverine movie yet,” says Empire, “Adult, Ballsy, Character Driven and grounded.”
The last Wolverine movie is “a gripping study of aging and weakness,” says Guardian. “What happens when superheroes grow old? In fact, what happens when they, like many non-superhero, arrive at the Late Middle Ages without a partner, in poor health and with an aging parent to fit?”
That is not to say that this is not also a good action movie. It is but it has both brains and brawn: think Unable With claws.
Land of the Lost
Look at
Carry with me on this one, because while many people stacked on the movie -Rogerebert.com notes that it “inspires heartfelt hatred” -and 27% rotten tomatoes rating is the kind of thing you tend to watch next to a Jennifer Lopez movie, Ebert reigns this “Graded” movie is worth watching.
Will Ferrell is Dr. Rick Marshall, inventing a machine that can import fossil fuels from a parallel dimension. Of course, he uses the machine to transport him and his friends into the parallel dimension, the dinosaur -packed land of the lost. As Ebert says, the movie is filled with “wildly false placements, props and special effects” and he found it an absolute explosion to look at.
Is it a five -star movie? Definitely not. But as Guardian says, “it is very surreal, absurd and often quite rough with lots of very bow and famous gags.” Lower your expectations and I think you are laughing a lot.
SEVERANCE (2006)
Look at
No, not the TV show: This is a horror comedy about office culture, where a teambuilding-backing train is pursued by a brutal killer. Danny Dyer is in what gives you an idea of the target market: This is a Saturday night beer on the couch movie, a Slashy Stabby movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
The broad sheets did not like it, but then it is not really aimed at their critics; It is a movie for readers of sites like pop horror that found it “evil and funny”. Common sense media warns that it is certainly not for children thanks to being “full of explicit, grotesque violence and scandalous injuries”, and that’s exactly the kind of thing the people of r/horror like it: it’s “funny like F — with lots of gore too,” says a happy viewer.
I now imagine a mashup of Resignation The show and Resignation The movie. Fitting legs set …
