 What is up, everyone? Welcome to a brand new movie review. Today I am talking Hotel Artemis. Yeah, I just found out about this film like last week, saw the trailer for the first time, and I found out Jeff Goldblum, Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, that guy from Atlanta, Charlie Day, and Sophia Patel, and even Dave Batista. And I can't forget to talk about Zachary Quintso's also in here, haven't seen him in a while. Yeah, it has a really good cast, and the premise seemed cool from the trailers, and does this film deliver? You know, I went into this film, really no expectation, just liking the trailer and just wanting a fun time, and for me, at least for me, Hotel Artemis delivered on that fun time. I had a blast watching Hotel Artemis. I think this is a ton of fun, given I know there's issues with the film. I'll be more cons for this film than I do have pros, but for some reason the pros really outweigh the cons for me. So, with this instance, I'm actually gonna flip it around today. I'm gonna talk about the cons, because I think I need to get those out of the way before I can really dive deep into my pros. But of course, I want to make sure to talk with you guys about this film as well, so if you guys are looking forward to this film, or are excited for this film, make sure to comment down below and tell me your guys' thoughts on Hotel Artemis, if you've already seen it, or if you are expecting to like this film. Yeah, my cons for this film really rely into the story aspects, because a lot of this film is just centered around a ton of subplots. But the thing about those subplots is that it kicks off certain story elements, especially in the beginning, where you're like, oh my god, this is gonna be really intriguing, this is gonna go, and then it's like just a subplot, and it really never goes anywhere, which kind of really disappointed me in that fact. But the problem with this is that the subplots all give into different storytelling devices for each and every one of these characters, where especially Jodie Foster and Sterling K. Brown, who are the two big stand-ups of this film for me, they are fantastic. And I say Sterling K. Brown is probably one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. That guy is fucking awesome. The thing about their characters is that you actually start to learn and care about them in a sense where even Jodie Foster's character, I was like, why do we have this subplot of hers? Like, do I need this? You don't need it, but you end up caring about her character and like where her character ends up going in the end. And that same goes for Sterling K. Brown. And the other characters in this film are nicely placed in here with really just a fun vibe to them. Sophia Batello has some kick-ass scenes, Drax the Destroyer, Dave Batista himself, is badass as always. Charlie Day, surprisingly, actually really worked in this film, and I enjoyed him a lot. He wasn't annoying to me, his comedic bits actually hit. The only character I actually did not like was Zachary Quinto. I thought he was completely wasted in this film and his character was just very annoying to me, but I needed myself some more Jeff Goldblum. The second he pops in this film, it's more of like a glorified cameo. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing some Goldblum, but I needed more Goldblum in this film. And if you're listening to this and for some reason gets a sequel or some TV series, because I think this film would have worked perfectly on a TV series, give me some more Jeff Goldblum, please, some way, shape or form. Yeah, I'm saying this because Hotel Artemis for me is kind of like a sci-fi version of Smoke and Aces or a sci-fi version of John Wick, because it's like Drew Pierce, the director and writer here, who I actually think is a pretty damn good writer, and this film is nicely written. I think the story is really the big issue with this film, and not really having a third-line plot going all the way through really kind of connects all the subplots. It doesn't work in that way, but Drew Pierce takes a little risky aspect of that and kind of makes what this could end up being just a very fast-paced TV show. And it is a very fast-paced film. It moves at a nice beat. It's an hour and 30 minutes. That's awesome. But again, like I said, he took the idea from John Wick's The Continental, took the Continental, put it into a sci-fi setting and said, this is my version of The Continental, which I did, because The Continental is one of my favorite parts of John Wick. And again, maybe that's why I'm probably going to be one of the only few people that like Hotel Artemis. I really hope other people enjoy this film as much as I do. But, relying into the pros, the action scenes, when they do get kicked in, they're awesome. I would have liked them a little bit more. I think I would have needed some more action in here, because the film is more of a B-rated crime thriller in some senses with not that much action. But the wind action is there. It is pretty cool. I just needed some more of it. Some powerful performances in here from Serling K. Brown and Jodie Foster and some great supporting cast in here. Hotel Artemis, for me at least, ends up being a really fun film. It's a good-looking film. The dialogue's great. The script is very smart with the characters are fun. Would I have liked a better story? Absolutely. Would I have liked a better score? Absolutely. Would I like to revisit this world in some capacity down the road, hopefully? Absolutely. I would love to see a sequel or maybe even a TV show based into this world, because there's so much nice things that they built in this world. I think Drew Pierce crafted a very fine world-building area with also some nice tidbits with these characters. When I see a film and I look at it and I'm like, man, what do I rate this film? I go and I say, did it entertain me? Did it piss me off? Did I feel like I wasted my time? I didn't waste my time. It definitely entertained me. And it did not piss me off. I had a blast watching Hotel Artemis and I hope you guys feel the same. So with all that said, I'm going to give Hotel Artemis a B- A Hotel Artemis, for me, I think it's going to be one of those films that people find on Netflix later on. They're like, damn, this has a great cast and it has a great premise as well. And maybe the story will fall apart for them as well. But I think some people will really find some entertaining values into this film. So I enjoyed Hotel Artemis overall. And this is where we come down to guys.
