Two awful movies in a row

I just came from watching the terrible Arrival last night, giving it just 1 star out of 10. Very poor.

That movie starred a woman called Amy Adams. Never heard of her, but I now wish I hadn't. She only has one acting face.

BLANK.

So today I started watching Nocturnal Animals. So bored by it I looked at the cast on my phone and saw, yeah, you've guessed it, Amy Adams is in this pile of trash too.

I didn't recognise her.

Just like Arrival, Nocturnal Animals is yet another load of dross.

Seems everything Ms Adams turns her hand to isn't worth watching. Cursed it.

I wasn't impressed by Arrival either - but your review of Adams' performance is even worse. Somebody should inform you a toupee won't disguise the load of dross masquerading as your brain.

Yet the actress is a multiple Oscar nominee so she must be doing something right.

It's that man again!!

Someone needs to be put in an insane asylum. Arrival and Nocturnal Animals are both masterpieces, and Amy Adams is one of the greatest actresses of all time.

She only has one acting face.

Take my advice and stop taking drugs.

I have to confess I didn't watch the whole film as I switched it off just when those two women were about to be attacked.

Was that really necessary? Pathetic.

A very cheap, lazy way to get an obviously dumb audience to like a film.

Hardly a masterpiece.

. . . I switched it off just when those two women were about to be attacked. Was that really necessary?

Yes, it was. Screenwriters don't include those kinds of events unless necessary to the story. It wasn't local color. Regarding necessity - IMO it's necessary to see at least half a film before commenting upon it. Otherwise one's opinion is worthless.

Hardly a masterpiece.

I would like to thank you and OP for proving that this movie is underrated.

People like you are just plain weird. Why do you always have to mention drugs to insult someone, to strengthen your opinion that you think the film is great.

All you had to write was 'Arrival and Nocturnal Animals are both masterpieces, and Amy Adams is one of the greatest actresses of all time.'

You didn't need all that childish name calling. I suspect therefore you are a child. Probably about 12. If not, grow up, and try putting across your opinion without the need for insults.

The only "children" around here are the ones who think Amy Adams is a bad actress. Guess I just have a low tolerance for stupidity.
Also, isn't calling me a "child" also an insult? Looks like the pot calling the kettle black.

Why do you always have to mention drugs to insult someone

Fine. OP is drinking some severely heavy alcohol. Is that better?

Also...

obviously dumb audience

Oh, so you are allowed to insult people, but I'm not. Got it. 
Once again, I would like to thank you for proving that this movie is severely underrated.

You didn't need all that childish name calling.

It's kinda rich telling me to grow up when you're calling a movie's fanbase "dumb". Eerie. I suggest you take your own advice.

Crying about name calling only minutes after saying this movie's entire audience is dumb... Now that's funny.

I don't think i'm going to pay much attention to a review of a movie from someone who has never heard of amy adams.

[–] mobile912 8 years ago

Pure garbage!

[–] kungasagar 8 years ago

You had never heard of Amy Adams prior, so I'm not sure your opinion is quite relevant.

[–] Symarip 8 years ago

Congratulations, you've got bad taste in movies.
