![Replicas Angry Movie Review [Worst of 2019!?]](/img/tr.png)
This seems like a franchise that's more suited for a *Video game* adaptation, to be honest.
Imagine running around moving/driving City Ships. That'd be cool as hell.
Hell it would great as a open world rpg as well
The trailer instantly made me go "?????" when like...the very first line almost was "The Earth's resources ran out so they put giant cities on giant pickup trucks".
I'm sorry but...uh...you ran out of resources? But you could make giant mobile cities using some sort of extreme future architecture tech? .. you.. RAN OUT OF RESOURCES? But MADE GIANT ROBOT VEHICLES?
To be fair, that was a major issue in the books as well. Hell, there's a group that want to destroy the moving cities because they're wasting said resources.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the books the reason there's giant moving city is because the earth soil is too soft after the nuclear war, so any building which are made will sink into the ground.
@@aniszbd And the moving cities don't sink because?
@@kyleeaton2717 If the ground lost its rigidity, then those rolling cities would sink into the Earth, due to having said city's weight, except this time concentrated on its locomotion...which means it would/should sink faster.
If I'm gonna be honest, I haven't read the books in maybe 10 years and I only read three of the four books, so I can't remember.
The expression on Joe's face in the thumbnail almost always gives away how the review is gonna go.
YUUUUP!
He such a DC fanboys when talking about Aquaman trailer, its kinda embarrassing.
He's got Anthony Fantano syndrome.
Though tbf Fantano is worse.
As soon as you see what colour he's wearing you don't even have to watch it, honestly.
No way, man. Bumblebee review thumbnail made it seem like he liked the movie.
@@CarlSlime wtf is Anthony Fantano syndrome?
In the book it was a true wasteland. No green. The USA was all desert.
Also, it was thousands of years after the bombs fell. I don't know why he's criticising the movie for not being filled with radiation.
@@jackbaxter2223 I think its because they are still use moving cities which were most likely built to escape hot zones. As you said its probably no radiation left but they still uses these cities that probably murder resources or have to search for them since they nobody wants to park by a body of water.
@Yamadiyoo The mobile cities were made because of the constant tectonic upheaval caused by the Sixty Minute War, with almost continuous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, meaning that no one place would be safe for long.
@@jackbaxter2223 Huh that sounds like a good reason to build a space colony as it sounds like the planet is going to do what shouldnt be possible and explode or the core is going to burnout and earth will be a dead planet.
@Yamadiyoo By that point they didn't have the resources to build a space colony, which would also have been much more expensive to maintain. Mobile settlements was the only option. Of course, cities like Airhaven would be the best way to go.
Peter Jackson will never make another movie like The Lord of the Rings. And that makes me sad.
Even lotr was horrible LMAO
They Shall Not Grow Old is one of 2018's best movies, the fuck you on about?
He barely had anything to do with this movie. The production company is trying to sell it based on his name, but he really had little to do with it.
Peepums Gum Mortal Engines was directed by Christian Rivers
TotalWarFan321 As far as I know it’s not out in the States yet. I will absolutely be seeing it.
Part 1
Madmax
Part 2
Terminator
Part 3
Star wars/Lord of the Rings
You just sumup entire movie
Better than No SW Movie this year, at least it felt Like SW
God, the Star Wars parallels in the last bit of the film where so in your face!
so? whats your point?
Between part 2 and 3 it was a little inception cause I fell asleep.
I really wanted this movie to be good 😕
Monster Crazy So did I, I'm a big steampunk fan and really looking forward to this movie. What a wasted potential.
Longtime cyberpunk/futurism fan here. Me too :(
As a fan of the books, this was a huge disappointment. Shrike was still cool at least.
At least the book is good.
@@jamesdempsey4194 Yeah, I adored the book, and the idea was very cool, the visuals were good, I can even understand some adaptations to the plot for the movie. But yeah, plus I cannot help but love the irony of Hester from the book where she was supposed to be hideously mangled but in the movie she's legit pretty, which happened in the book as well as an adaptation of a story of the main characters were written.
I knew this was going to be a flop from the first trailer. Why do studios keep making big budget terrible post apocalyptic movies? Stuff like this would work better as a TV show.
The story needs a TV show everything is soooo flat in this
@Matthew Familia I have to disagree. There are still original ideas out there. Sorry To Bother You, Mother, The Quiet Place and Get Out are all original and creative ideas. I agree that the majority of Hollywood major franchises are kinda formulaic, but not all creativity is dead, it's just usually poorly funded 😂😂
Name another movie or show with the same theme as mortal engines then. If it’s just another apocalyptic movie
Explain to me what was so bad about this movie. It's special effects were amazing it's characters were all unique was the most original movie I've seen in a very long time and it's definitely going to be an Academy Award nominee. How can you even think that there is one fault in this movie?
The visuals we're good.
I am an early AJ adopter. I go back to his "Fallout 3 ruined my life" video, on his old standalone website. The AJ video "product" has gotten so fluid and tight. The three interviewers have great chemistry, with such intelligent and quick-witted interaction with one another. Thank you for the years of entertainment I've gotten from your efforts.
Agree with you 100% :)
When they started bringing Alex in I wasn't sure if this giant dude would work out. But it really seems after some time these guys genuinely seem really excited, where as before it was purely the hype of Angry Joe. It's a lot easier to take the reviews more seriously as a result.
First trailer dropped over a year ago and yet before release no marketing.............. I wonder why...........
They blew all the budget on CGI
All i ever saw them advertise was "from the creators of lotr, Mortal Engines."
Thats it
Thats literaly it.
Nothing about the plot
Or anything else.
So that looked fishy to me, so i decided not to see it, and that it was probably gonna be bad.
Yawn.
i saw sponsored content all over youtube for it
Basically the whole movie was in the trailer so they didn't have much else to shove into more.
I saw tons of ads for trailers.
Alex feels like he’s got a change of energy here. I like it. He feels more involved.
Is he on social media?
I like it:-)
Mortal Engines is just another teenage rebellion sci-fi dystopian movie.
The Doctor except hunger games and divergent were actually good
@@PenguinsAreColdish except the hunger games is just another teenage rebellion sci-fi dystopian movie which SUCKS
The asian wamen in red gave it away.
@@SteveL11 your full of it.
@@bostonianful why because he has a different opinion then you? maybe you're the one who's full of it,
There’s an anime called Chrome Shelled Regios that does moving, waring cities pretty well
This👍
Mortal Engines is based on a Anime. Was that the one ?
@@brianmccann666 its based on a book
I thought it looked similar! I remember that show!

Lol
SteeLion Knight I’m glad I didn’t see this movie I’m glad I did get the chance to go see Spider-Man
The only character I cared about was the green eyed stalker. He showed more emotions than anyone else, and he doesn’t even HAVE A HEART! Also the editing was really bad and incoherent but the final climax was awesome visually.
I agree, but he was written poorly. 😢

incest is wincest
That's not incest because THEY AREN'T RELATED, moronic fuck.
talking about the girl in red that saves the daughter. As the girl in red promised the mother to look after her daughter. i get you're trying to make a joke but c'mon....at least try not looking like you're ignoring what he meant.
Everytime I see Alex im always like (AJ is getting Buff) then it goes back im like WTF?
Exact same here. Gotta love the classic lineup of Angry Joe, Swole Joe, and Small Joe
When is everybody going to realize he’s just a rendition of Julian from Trailer Park Boys?

No, Angry Joe, Other Joe and Alex..... get it?
love the new Barbie Ken merch that OJ is wearing! It's available on the AJ store right?.... right..?
Doosakidd 🤣
😂😂😂
it's sad because the books are amazing. I am a massive fan of the book and I was sincerely disappointed in the movie. The first half was great, the world building, the animations, they were all amazing. But the second half diverged from the book so much that I almost cried. That ending was the biggest cliché copout ever written, which really saddens me because the book had such an intense ending. The whole story on London's side was developped much further, and as a result Katherine (the blondie) got developed much better. Hell, Bevis (the handsome guy who saw Valentine push Tom) even serves a purpose. This move just bitched up a beautifully written story because they were afraid the original ending just wouldn't sit well with general audience.
Grrrr, I really wanna spoil the real ending to Mortal Engines, but those are spoilers and.... I'll spoil anyone that wants if they ask :)
Yeah, they fucked it up.
Agreed, I was in denial coming out of the cinema cos I wanted so badly for it to be a faithful adaptation. It was too busy trying to be a mainstream fireworks display to have any character, or character development.
Should have been a netflix tv show.
cant agree more
I completely agree with you. I don't even know how they would've made sequels after that ending they pulled..
I think you have to read the book to enjoy this movie. Which is disappointing, because this world should be easy to immerse yourself in.
BeginToThink bet the movie is better with friends
That's the thing - I have read the books, and whilst the first sets up a nice world and a good setup for a YA series, the later books squander it. And there are some seriously heavy themes in them. After I read the fourth book, I immediately sold them all to the 2nd hand book store.
You know, the first book sets up Anna Fang as this badass who has had all these adventures - I'd like to see her story, instead of this one.
I have never read Lord Of The Rings. (Though its on my to do list)
Those 3 movies are my alltime favorites.
A good adaptation doesnt mandate prior reading of the book.
@@draco84oz You do realise that Philip Reeve released a book about Anna Fang's adventures this summer?
if i hadn't read the wiki on ME first I wouldn't have understood anything about why the cities are on giant tank tractions
like they didn't even explain municipal Darwinism or tractionism in the movie. the writing was so bad it broke my penis
You should read the book if you're interested in the world. It's really good.
Yeah! everything makes sense.
Books are a lot better. It's not super-awesome stuff, but it's interesting and story is coherent. This movie doesn't do it justice.
Books are always better. Too lazy to read? Then get audio books
as a kid, I read the book but only got through to the part just before where they found that sand crawler thing until it lost me.
but I loved the intro and London with the indoctrination and toms perspective.
when I finished with it my first thought was I love the idea but would be great as a movie bearing in mind I wasn't that old
I'm glad I had the backgrounds, explanation and emotional attachment for the character of tom
@@Psycorde Spoilers... I think too much stuff goes on in the book to adapt into a movie. This film was too busy trying to be a fireworks display to properly develop the characters. And also they're right, the dialogue was wooden. I really wanted to like this film, I'm a massive fan of the books. But it was just lacking, and while there were 1 or 2 changes to the plot that worked in my opinion (the crash drive and how they stopped MEDUSA) the change to Katherine's story and how she was almost a non-entity in this made everything with her and Bevis really awkward. Also Tom being so much noticeably older than in the books (where he's 12) makes the relationship between Hester and himself, and his childish mannerisms, much more jarring. They should have had a younger cast in general. It's a shame really, I'd still watch a sequel but it probably won't get one.
The bombs were actually kinetic, it’s only explained in the book
Peter jackson has had enough of making trilogy's.
They twisted his arm just to make the hobbit a trilogy.
True. I know that it as ridiculous toi make a trilogy out of the hobbit which Is basically the shortest of the 4 main LOTR books but then also made the full 3 book saga in 3 movies. The hobbit only needed to be 1 movie.
@@Merkaba954 "the 4 main LOTR books" oh christ...
START YOUR ENGINES, here comes the angry review!!!
You guys should have seen "They shall not grow old". It's a collection of restored WW1 footage in beautiful movie form.
*The book series is AMAZING!* I encourage people to read the books... it's characters are flushed out way more!! As a fan of the books I was so disappointing. The book has a totally different ending too.
I actually did read the books because of the movie
@@kurtstobbs9616 what did you think? I love those books
@@anatoldenevers237 The books are great but I am disappointed about the movie sure the visuals looked great but if the movie had succeeded they pretty much shot themselves in the foot for the sequels
this new format for your reviews is much better, and I love how you are giving other joe and alex more time to talk. Keep up the good work! :)
Review with 3 guys. But it’s GOTTA BE ME! JOE ON THE THUMBNAIL. ITS GOTTA BE ME!
Okay but where’s Donald in all this, you keep mentioning a wall?
F him, it was Humpty Dumpty who was all about the wall.....sitting on the thing and falling and none of the kings horses and none of the kings men could put him back together.....wait why are horses expected to perform complex surgeries?? and why are the horses more important then the kings men?? ugh so much wrong with that fable lolz
B-but...the wall existed before trump became president 😮

Well. I did see Mortal Engines last night. Must admit I didnt expect much when I entered the cinema... But I really really enjoyed this movie. I guess the movie is not for everyone. But I am not that critical on movies. I had fun and thats what is important.
Honestly, if you liked the movie, you should try the books. Far better, imo, and it will help explain a lot.
I do think critically of movies, and I really liked it. My whole family liked it. I honestly don't get what everyone's saying about the film. I liked the characters and I thought they were interesting. The development was a bit rushed, and I feel the film could've benefitted from 10 or 20 additional minutes to slow things down and refine some of it, but I don't get why people are saying the characters weren't good.
For example: the cyborg zombie character: Shrike. They did a decent job establishing his character, explaining who he is and what he meant to Shaw. He's rather badass in the scenes he's in, and the moment where he says, "I release you from your promise" was well executed and a great example of setup and payoff in writing. I honestly felt they earned the emotional investment that they got out of me in his final scene. If I had one criticism, it would only be that it felt a little rushed.
The dialogue... may seem cliché at times, but I felt that almost every line fit the film. The "you're a dinosaur and I'm the meteor" line may be cliché and overused, but it fit the film: the villain was motivated by ambition and survival instinct, and understood that Municipal Darwinism was unsustainable, and, to him, the other guy symbolized that dying ideology he was going to "save London" from... through a superweapon that changed the course of history; hence meteor to the other guy's dinosaur. Plus; the villain was Head of Archaeology; what other metaphor was he going to make?
You are great. This so called movie reviewer are just way too much when it comes to being critical on every aspects of these movies. If youre going to listen to them, your not gonna enjoy a lot of good movies. People should watch first themselves before listening to this type of youtube channels.
This is another review from Joe and crew that I don't agree with. This movie was entertaining. It is not a 10 out of 10 but it was fun and as long as you don't think about it too much you will like it. It was better than Last Jedi by far.
Mister Vargas, have you ever considered a collab with Cinemassacre?
I'd like to see you on a Monster Madness episode!
*silently waiting for the disgusting Sonic The Hedgehog movie teaser just to laugh at Jim Carrey*
Yessss
"Mortal Engines" feels like it was practically engineered to be a videogame.
WHY. WAS. IT. NOT. A. VIDEOGAME?!?!?!
An open world rpgmmo, where you play as the city. That would be fucking awesome.
It's official: AJ and Alex suffer from jaundice. 🤕
to be fair, Peter Jackson didnt write or direct it...he produced it..meaning, he got the CASH for it to be made. The crazy thing is theres 5 producers. They ALL passed this through.
Original plot was fantastic, but idk how the script for the movie managed to get approved. It was rewritten so much, especially in the second half, as to barely even be the same story.
Perhaps because the film is good?
@@matthewmuir8884 Really wasn't but we're just gonna have to agree to disagree since I don't think I'll be able to convince you, nor you me.
@Sadew Okay. I think the big difference is that you have read the books, and I haven't (I decided to wait until after seeing the movie so I could judge the movie on its own).
And the film made me want to read the books even more than I wanted to before.

I actually enjoyed this movie quite a lot. In trying to measure up as to why, I guess the best I can say is that there are very few movies that aren't a mile wide and an inch deep. Every...freaking...film these days is arguably hot garbage, or a hot garbage remake of something else. At least this one has something new and original to at least put some polish on the turd.
MCV “new and original” besides the terribly cliche ending
This is my favorite movie reviewing format you guys have done yet.
I'll avoid this then, trailer didn't really draw me in anyway!
The tone was set in the trailer when the bad guy said “You’re gonna die” and she said “no, I’m gonna live.”
Wow; that line must've been taken out of context in the trailer then, because it worked in the film.
The bad guy's been obsessed with survival, and he said both he and the girl were survivors as part of his attempt to break her with "We're not so different (only it's much better than typical examples because he's not talking out of his rear end), and when she tries to kill him after preventing his escape (while they're trapped on a city on a collision course) and she scars him with her knife, he asks her, "Is this what you want? You want to die?" (I'm paraphrasing; I can't remember the exact lines) And she responds, "No, I'm gonna live" (again paraphrasing). it fit the scene and it fit the film.
This movie was an awesome trailer for an RTS game on pc, soon tba :)
The “cities” look disproportionately outside compared to the inside.
My first movie review with you guys. Great analysis. I've watched your game reviews forever. I'm really impressed. Great transition. All of you shared and it was a great discussion. Thanks.
When I saw the very first trailer, it seems like it was years ago now, I got kinda excited. All it showed was London, a moving city, hunting down and consuming another smaller country/city. It looked good and the idea was intriguing. Then more trailers came out and the concept seemed to be pushed further back in favor of a much more basic story. It reminded me more of a teen novel (Divergent, Maze Runner, etc...) as more info came out. The final nail in the coffin for me to wait for this to come out on Blu-ray was poster at my local cinema. Rather than showing the moving cities or the concept in any way, it was a close-up shot of the protagonist's face and the slogan "some scars never heal". They prioritized what appears to be a very simplistic, overdone story about a rebellious young adult rather than this dystopian world of carnivorous, vehicular countries.
Exactly, absolue waste of creativity
They always look like sports casters.
It's a shame, I really enjoyed this film when I saw it but I have read all the books and so I know all the setups and what they were doing. From everyone I have spoken to, they really enjoyed it and they haven't read the book. It sounds like a lot of people missed the point of the film. To say Shrike is a "mercenary" is just completely off base.
Exactly. I haven't read the books (I wanted to watch the film first so I could judge it on its own), I really liked the film, and I understood that Shrike is a cyborg-zombie of a fallen soldier from thousands of years ago. I honestly almost teared up in Shrike's last scene, and I felt the film earned that emotional investment that it got from me.
My only real criticisms of the film are these: They could've afforded to slow the film down here and there and further develop certain things, and I still don't understand how the anti-traction lady knew Shaw was captured by the slavers? Did she know, or was she just scouting the general area after hearing that Shaw had been in London? That, the film could've better explained.
@@matthewmuir8884 I was so happy how they did Shrike, If you liked his character I suggest reading the first prequel book. It tells the story of why london was the first city to become a traction city, it always tells the story of Shrike. The book is Fever Crumb.
I agree it did jump quite a bit, but they did the entire book. It's ok for a book but when it's adapted it can feel rushed. in the film Anna Fang was a good friend of Hester's mother and so was trying to track her down anyway, but I didn't notice that it kind of skipped over how she knew that Hester was there. If i remember, in the book it is just pure coincidence, Anna Fang has no relation to them, they just happened to become friends after they escaped.
I do suggest reading the books. I have a feeling they will be doing sequels because they set quite a bit up in the first film.
@Ryan Seager Thanks. I've been wanting to read the books since I heard about them (which would've been shortly after I saw the first trailer for the film and decided to find out more about what the film was), and, after liking this film, I want even more so to give the books a try.
The 3 second snippet that plays when you mouse over a video really came in clutch for this review. Saved me a lot of time.
It always concerns me when a movies marketing grossly states that a big name director is simply attached, and not actually directing. Not that it hasn't worked, look at District 9, but it's just like "Hey it's made by this Director...'s brother...'s roommate. So hey there's some relation to that awesome director!"
Just the premise alone sounds incredibly stupid. How do you live on a moving tank without everything thrown around by the shaking?
Things do shake. The structures don't get thrown around, but when they accelerate, objects do get thrown around.
The movie goes to great lengths to show the context under which these cities originated, and how they're even feasible.
Aquaman review coming soon?
When it comes out probably around the 21st
edge less I saw it last week can’t believe how early it came out in the uk
The thing I love most about these reviews is that you have people who tend to have different ways of thinking and view points but you embrace that. That's rare. Kudos
I think that AJ improved the movie reviews now...I used to hate them,but now I can watch them without a problem.
Yes its an interesting back-and-forth exchange of opinion. Joe's makin better videos than hes ever made this year.
I was looking forward to this movie! I thought it looked very cool
Where’s the Dragon Ball Super Broly reaction
It doesn't come out in the U.S until Jan 16th

Whatastic at least 🕷 man was so good
Whatastic Watch Spiderman
Whatastic watch Aquaman best DC outing for me!
I saw Mortal Engines yesterday with my family and we all liked it. I honestly don't get why a lot of people are disappointed by this film.
It's by no means perfect; personally I think it could've afforded to use an extra 10-20 minutes to slow down in certain areas, but my family and I thought it was a good film.
Try out the film for yourself and see what you think of it.
Yea probably better off just reading the books.
Nope, stay away from the books too. They are "young adult" books - in other words, trash fiction. The main male protagonist is a fucking 15 year old. This book is just another of the huge dumpster pile of shitty dystopian stories in which a teenager saves the world while also falling in love.
@@heinzguderian9980 You haven't read the book, have you? The books alright, not terrible also the term Young adult novels means nothing. That's like saying you shouldn't read harry potter because its for kids. Although I do agree on the whole teenager saves world but is also in love trope, its just as bad as anime when they use friendship is power. It becomes stupid and nonsensical.
@@thegamerfreak720 also let's not forget that "saving the world" doesn't really happen in the book. Medusa destroys London completely, Tom is the only inhabitant who survives. Thousands of innocent people die iirc, not like in the shitty film ending where everything is smiles and rainbows and Londoners willingly join the side of their worst enemy.
Heinz Guderian I humbly disagree. Young adult fiction is perfectly capable of being well written and containing interesting and complex themes. To so broadly generalize the genre is pretty narrow minded.
“It’s generic as fuuuuuuuck”

😂😂😂
Part of the problem is that the changes that were made to the movie annoyed fans of the book and the advertising didn’t really explain or show what was going on to people who weren’t already familiar with the books. It’s a real shame because I remember the books being really good, although I did read them a decade ago now.
Its so sad when these new IP's kinda flop, because some of it is really great,
I'm so tired of Marvel, DC and sequels in general,
However, I can't really blame them though, because whenever they do something original it dosen't sell,
Sure, some of the acting wasn't good this time around, and the dialogue was weak at times,
But the world building and CGI was pretty much perfect, really great,
So if you just want a weird great looking sci fi movie, then this is it.
and to be honest, most sci-fi movies are pretty much always weird.
Most original films suck tbh. And aren't interesting and unique enough to make audiences take a chance on them.
I can't agree with you more . I'm soooo done with super hero movies and will always give new IPs a chance. I have read the books and feel sad how poorly the movie did. I guess it's only whatever Disney rams down our throats for the next while .
@@daved22 You mean they didn't do the books justice ???
I've only seen the book covers , and as far as I could tell, this was just one out of 3 books. called rolling cities or something like that.
Well, most anime/movie adaptations of books rarely portrays the source to a satisfying degree.
but that's how it is, a book will always have more detail than their movie counterparts .
But that's also how it should be, so whenever you've read "the book" you are rewarded with extra knowledge and details the movie only people dosen't know,
I like to read light novels from Japan,
And when those gets adapted into anime, its funny to see some of the things there, but no explanation as to why they are there, and you only know if you've read the book, so the other viewers are like, What was that ? how ? why ? and then you can act like a sage and tell them =)
@@jesuschristsonofgod9709 I just find it hard to accept that,
New stuff could only be accepted in the 80's and 90's , and everything that wasn't created during that time, dosen't stand a chance.
Watch Snowpiercer instead.
What headphones are they using does anyone know?
The saddest part is that most of the cliches from Act 2 aren't really even from the book. I don't know what the writers for the movie were thinking, but it was very disrespectful to the source material.
11:35 that's actually really sad. People don't go to see new movies anymore if they aren't based on some ip they don't know already.
Mortal engines concept by itself was just retarded.
This was based off a book series though, it’s a shame the movie isn’t doing well
The trailers were pretty shitty
I went to see it because it was new. I knew it was based on a book, but at least it wasn't a sequel or another Marvel movie. The Marvel movies are good, but it really does feel like there's nothing but Marvel movies and bad sequels.
I thought the film was good, as did the rest of my family that saw the film. The characters were good, the story was good overall, the world was interesting and they did a good job at the worldbuilding, etc.
I honestly didn't have a problem with the dialogue; sure, some of it does sound like stock phrases, like the "dinosaur and meteor" metaphor, but those lines still felt like they fit the film and the characters that were saying them.
Completely disagree that there was no emotion with the Resurrected Man story. When his life flashes before his eyes we see a semblance of his prior humanity and I thought that was quite touching. It was a shame the film treated that as a subplot.
I wouldn't say a shame, but yeah; I felt that the movie earned the emotional investment it got out of me in that scene.
Shrike is the best part of the movie
Shrike had some of the most cringey dialogue in the whole movie. And his stupid fucking voice was so annoying
All I can think of when I hear the title is "MORTAL ENGINE!!!" with Mortal Kombat music
Hey joe did you guys go to the premier of dragon ball super broly movie in LA?

WARNING ! dont go see the movie if you have read the book , i wanted to leave after 5 minutes . They changed everything .
The first 5 minutes was exactly how the first chapter of the book starts. What are you talking about?
Tom Natsworthy wasnt stealing old tech or hiding it to prevent other from using it since he had no idea someone was using it to create a weapon , he is just a teenage apprentice historian that loves London , he meets Katherine after being sent down to the gut for being late since he went out to watch the chase of the small city that London has captured . Doesnt look like he is friend in any way with Valantine daugther prior to that encounter , he knows who she is because is a fan of Valantine and thats it . Katherine is an interesting character that goes through a lot trying to find whats happening to her father , she investigate the lower levels of the city finding out all sorts of disgustings and disturbing things with the help of Bevis Pod before she confronts her father, she even dies saving Hester when her father try to kill her . A lot of very important parts of the book are changed or simply ignored and thats why the movie feels weird and rushed. No one understands why they want to destroy the Anti-Traction league because in the movie they completely fail to discuss the Municipal Darwinism , the world is no longer under the effects of the 60 minutes war and there is no reason to keep using the city to move around to hunt and destroy everyone else , they can simply go back to live like they did before the war destroyed the world but they dont want to change their way of living . Ps. Forgive my awful english
its absolutely for teenager
Funny; considering the book's author loved the film.
@M L Tom didn't know anyone was making a weapon in the film either; he just knew that several pieces of Old Tech from the museum had gone missing and so he hid the rest to prevent the rest from also being stolen.
Other Joe has started sounding like a actual reviewer now, I like this. 👍

If you can't afford it, it wasn't for you.
MOST DISAPPOINTED MOVIE EVER!!
Damnit I wanted this one to be good at least
I'm so glad we're having more videos now :)
Lol the opening sarcam xD
I remember some old anime (Chrome shelled Regios iirc?) that had similiar concept to this except they at least put some thought behind it.
Just like in this movie, cities are all extremely huge mobile platforms with buildings and even farmlands or forests on them.
Just like in this movie, they went this route, because earth went through apocalypse (do not remember if human caused or external force caused)
Just like in this movie, there is general lack of resources. People are not really starving, but those cities need some special fuel to keep working which is limited.
And difference in that anime, that actualy showed that they thinked for 5 minutes about it were:
Earth was trully post-apo. Wasteland for most part with poluted or poisoned air.
And reason why cities are moving was due to influx of monstrous/mutated creatures that came with post-apo. They simply love to nom nom humies if they are around. Humans are armed (anime style of course, that is its own nonsense but hey, its anime) and can deal with them.
But if they would stay in one place, more monsters would instincitvely start coming towards them, along with larger and more dangerous kinds untill they would simply be overwhelmed. While as long as city is moving, they will only have to deal with small monster packs along the way.
There are few static places in world, specificaly mines that mine the fuel but they are very rare, extremely cramped and only in most defensible positions and even these places fall from time to time. Also those mines due to their smaller sizes do not mine enough fuel. Single city needs multiple mines to survive and most of its time it will travel between those mines to keep replenishing fuel.
Generaly it conveys pretty nice "Humans are going to die if nothing changes" vibe
The movie is (in my opinion) “inspired” by the book. The first book, the one it’s based off of, spends time in worldbuilding, character development, and real conflict which the movie doesn’t have. My advice, don’t go into the movie with the expectation of a live action of the book. (Although there are some similarities between the book and movie, they aren’t the same.)
They have ruined Hester. I love her book version.
I saw the film, I liked it, and I honestly want to give the book a try now that I've judged the film on its own without comparing it to the book. The film made me all the more want to try the book as I was intrigued by the world and the characters shown in the film.
Funny enough; the author of the book said this about the differences between the book and the film: "Christian, writer/producers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, and the rest of the (huge) team have done a fantastic job. They’ve made a lot of changes to the world, characters, and themes of the book, (and the weather is nicer) but it’s still basically the same story. The opening twenty minutes or so are essentially what I wrote all those years ago, and even when it takes its own path later on there are lots of moments and images which come straight from the book (like the valley littered with smashed cities in front of the Shield Wall, and the glorious vertical city on its far side). All the sets and costumes seem to have been designed by people who know the books at least as well as I do."
@White Void What was wrong with the film's version of Hester? I really liked the film version; seemingly cold and no-nonsense at first, and slowly warms up to the Tom character. I also liked how in the film, because of Hester's character, the other characters were telling Tom that he was the one that could do better. Usually when there's a kind-of-dorky protagonist like Tom, the running gag is that everyone asks what the girl sees in him. I liked that funny little reversal of the usual formula.
Please bear in mind that I haven't read the book.
Matthew St. Cyr The book doesn’t pull and punches whereas the movie does. The movie has more of a “happy ending” in comparison to the novel. Although the first couple scenes in the book are the same, characters have more depth to them, and seeing my change over time is handled way better in the novel than movie. If you liked the movie, you may either love the book or actually hate it.
@Theguywhowrote Okay, thanks. As I said, I'm planning on giving the book a try.
This maybe because ive been playing Warhammer 40k Dawn of war the dark crusade. But when I watched it today, the robot looked like a damn necron. Like seriously a spitting image of what I imagined a real life necron would look like. More specifically the unit that were humans turned necrons.. can't recall their names pariah?
Then also the leader of the wall (old asian dude) reminded me of Tau leadership...
The color grades from shot to shot in the review are so different it's distracting. 😶
Great content as always!
This movie was lame concept was cool but end result sucked
OwO
UwU
u3u
UmU
^w^
That line about the meteor is especially funny to me since for years I've heard children throwing that around like it's totally badass.
I really enjoy your movie reviews. Thank you for posting!!!
Peter Jackson is one if the directors that was corrupted by CGI like George Lucas was. (In a nutshell)
I've heard about this film is bad. 3 weak parts of what this film suffers. The direction. lack of personality & the story is awful
only seen the youtube ads for this, only have one question... is London just the Beast Planet?
Weregonnalose killed Angry Joe in War of Rights, that should have been in the TH-cam Rewind 2018. He got real angry haha.
READ THE BOOKS GOD DAM IT....u want story its there in the texts
the movie whose nice ... i dont get the hate train/trend people like to jump on ... just like Transformers :) it is eazy to hate it but i enjoyed the movies a loot. Immersion conquers opinion in my world and i'm blessed
glad to see I'm not the only one who actually enjoyed this movie. i think since they read the book they expected it to be EXACTLY like the book which kinda changes their view points and overall ruining the movie for them. if they actually enjoyed it for what it is instead of comparing it to the book then people would actually enjoy them.
@@bizzaremermaid4205 the movie took us on a great journey to a beautiful world :) i really enjoyed it. I love angry joe but i guess my inner child never died ;) ... it must really suck to have such high standards and not being able to have a good time
I don't get the Transformers comparison (since I don't like the Transformers films; they're mindless action with almost no story), but I really liked the film Mortal Engines. I thought it had plenty of interesting and engaging story and characters, I liked the worldbuilding, and overall I thought it was good. My whole family did when we went to see it together.
I decided to watch the film first before reading the book, as I wanted to see how the film stood on its own.
Jackson saw the Doctor Who episode The Beast Below that had Countries on space whales and thought "ahhh that's a great idea"
I was really hoping this would be the live action version of the anime Chrome-Shelled Regios, which has more or less the same mobile cities but the threat is giant vicious insectoid monsters, which is the reason the cities have to be able to keep moving. It's so much better as a story plot point. This is still a fantastic concept and idea that needs to be re-opened and explored properly as a unique dystopian reality theme. Neither this movie nor Chrome-Shelled Regios explores or uses that element perfectly.
THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS AND IM NOT HAPPY...😠✋🏼 SO TALK TO THE HAND PEOPLE
Glad I saved my money and bought Super Smash Bros instead.
You still got ripped off.
Giggling Stoner Nope not at all. :)
+viper
getting that for christmas
U should go see Spider-Man or u did
Sidebar : that's a good-looking theatre right there 👍
I ended up with more questions then anything. Like what about geography big rivers and mountain ranges. Not to mention how much energy it would take to move something that big...
I just got back from seeing Mortal Engines and really liked it. It isn't an amazing film, but it is a good one. Joe makes it out like this is a POS worse than the likes of Son of the Mask, but it simply isn't true. It's a good movie.
Agreed; this movie definitely wasn't perfect, and it could've afforded to slow down a little bit here and there, but I thought the film was good.
@harrythebarry No, it is not. Interesting characters, alright-to-good story, good worldbuilding, decent action, and good visuals.
@harrythebarry I'm more than twice that age, and I have seen a lot of movies. Some good, some okay, and some garbage.
Garbage would be stuff like The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Temple of Doom, all the main Transformers films, Star Trek 1 and 5, The Crimes of Grindelwald, etc.
Mortal Engines is not garbage. It is a good 7.5 out of 10.
Go see the movie, is really good!!
“Oh no! The girl from The Expanse!”
Same
Junkie XL- Shan Guo when this played in the movie that moment was 10/10!!!!!
