La Hora De La Desaparición

Honestly, I don't know if I watched the same film everyone else is raving about, but I'm pretty sure my brain was left waiting in the lobby the entire time. The movie is long. Too long, too slow, too... boring. And yet, somehow, it still manages to feel overstuffed. Imagine a film that wants to be edgy, intense, and dramatic, but instead just flatlines.

The multiple points of view were supposed to add depth or suspense, I guess, but instead they just fragmented the story and made it even harder to care about any of the characters. It felt like a patchwork of perspectives that didn't really go anywhere, leaving me more bored than invested.

I waited the whole movie for something to happen... and nothing happened.

Sure, it's original, I guess, but by the end, I wasn't scared, I wasn't impressed - I was just relieved it was over.

I'm surprised by all the "fantastic" reviews on this movie. It's definitely an ok film but in no way is this a 10/10 movie. It's a slow burn and then it goes into character POV, which is really unnecessary. It's too long and there are unanswered questions. I wasn't rooting for any of the characters except the ending scene (and you'll know what I'm talking about). So it's really just average. It could have been so much more. I'll never watch it again but I'm not upset that I saw it.

There's a steady hand at work building tension as the movie progresses but unfortunately it all leads to a rather dull climax. You get hints of an explanation, and I'm not the type of person who needs everything spelled out, but it feels as though the film simply ends things "because it's time." I appreciate the different storylines overlapping and converging but it all felt pointless by the time the credits rolled. I'm also not sure what tone the director is going for here. There's certainly a horror element, but I've seen it classified as a dark comedy and I don't know that I would remotely consider it in that category. The acting is fine and the photography is decent but there's nothing here that you haven't seen before in better packaging.

This was the most excited I've been about a movie in a very long time. Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB reviews were looking great. Maybe my expectations were too high but I really thought this movie was not that good. Extremely disappointed. The plot of the movie was kind of lame. It really wasn't that scary or suspenseful. It just didn't deliver like most moves rated high 7's or low 8's. Not sure why it's still rated high 7's.

I genuinely fail to see the buzz surrounding Weapons. The first half of the film did a commendable job of building tension. The atmosphere was thick with unease, and the slow burn of the narrative had me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the terror to strike. The mystery was compelling, and the gradual reveal of the plot promised a chilling experience. However, once the story began to fully reveal itself, the thrill completely evaporated. The suspense that had been so carefully crafted in the beginning was gone. The narrative shift from psychological tension to a more straightforward plot left me feeling underwhelmed and, frankly, bored. The film's "horror" element was almost non-existent. Ultimately, Weapons is a film that promises a gripping, terrifying experience but delivers something far more ordinary. It's a classic case of style over substance.
