Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The whole film I was trying to understand why its title is Antichrist. So I was looking for allusions and that's what I'll talk about in this review.First of all, the garden of Eden, obviously, this is... the Garden of Eden... where Adam and Eve met each other and had their lovely adventures until that nasty snake came. It's also a representation of Heaven, and as "she" (since neither the man nor the woman have names here) says: Nature is Satan's church. A lot of things one location can be. A Satan's church is also represented visually many times, but one scene that especially sticks to me is that right before the Epilogue, where the forest becomes full of seemingly sexless naked bodies. Satan's church is obviously a very oxymoronic phrase, as Satan does not belong in the church, women even cover their heads to keep Satan away inside the church... but this weird custom means that he is after all in the church. One way or another, Satan seems to be hiding in the nature, like in the den of the fox... And it also hides within the human heart. In both "her" and more well controlled in "his". Maybe in Nick's heart too, and maybe it was Satan that pushed him to jump out.This brings me to a remark I can't not make. In both Antichrist and Melancholia, Lars Von Trier does something really great. He manages to reflect the world inside a person through the world outside. In Melancholia, the melancholy of the main character is symbolized by the planet approaching the Earth, and the clash is inevitable. At the end she makes peace with her melancholia, doesn't try to pretend anymore, and that's when the clash happens, while she rests in the magic cave.The same is here, the man goes into the forest, which is a representation of his wife's inner world, where he didn't have access for a long time, and only Nick did. Maybe that's why Nick jumped off, he was already crazy after seeing where her mother lived. At the end, where she stares at him jumping down, there is a feeling that she is somehow guilty for his death, and maybe she was... Maybe that's why his shoes were put on incorrectly, because she couldn't help but torture Nick.The film may be called Antichrist because the three wise men are Grief, Despair and Pain... So it's pretty antichrist. Another allusion is when she is lying in the grass, and her pose is exactly that of Christ's when he is resurrected.There is a lot to notice in this film. Mainly, I liked the combination of the moving camera reality and the slow motion abstractness, and the Pathetic Fallacy which Von Trier is a master of, I think.

I didn't get what was so scary about it. Towards the end it worked best because it was more mysterious and creepy, but it dragged at times and just kept going in circles. It's just about this woman who goes from nightmarish visions to wanting rough sex with her doctor who fathered their deceased baby. It had some cool filmmaking.

Not much to spoil here, so I'm not even going to bother with a spoiler warning.OK then... there was a time when some people thought "let's do just anything, anything, whatever, and they will call us artists..." Those times are over, even in Danmark.Lars von Trier made some decent movies over the years (Dancer in the Dark, etc), but this guy is just sooooo over the top. It is very clear to me that he has no clue what he wants to do, or what he wants to say, and he hides it behind offensive, artsy bullcrap. Sorry dude, this might have worked in the sixties... but grow the F up, this is the 21st century....This film is a clear example of having nothing to say, having no clue how to say it, and leave it up to the audience to decide, but wait: this is wrapped into a gory, bloody, offensive, unappealing, and confusing package, without any kind of connection to the audience, to... like pretty much anything. I don't know who she is, who he is, who the kid is, why she is (apparently) insane, why they are having sex all the time, and I just don't care if they live or die. The whole thing is just distant, and does not provoke any thoughts. This is a failure on all levels. This is not art, this is just something that wants to look like art, but fails in doing so.Crap.

yes my very very very fav. film on number one with Stalker, Apocalypse Now and Valhalla Rising, seen dozen times,true masterpiece with endless layers first of all the greatest tragedy that can happen, Greek style ,no shrink can help here, and then all the other levels. Von Tier's Magnum Opus. He did it.
