The forehead to forehead scene looked awkward. Thank God there was no kiss...

I loved it, it was visually stunning, Rihanna was brilliant with her gestures, and her ribbons /scarves. Chris was great too. It was more of a stream of consciousness experience, no plot necessary.

 

artistically, PoC is amazing. the way they treated those scenarios, making referencies to chinese movies like "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero".

but lacked some element to remind us that it's a Coldplay video (apart of Chris Martin, obviously :P)

Chris looks so HOT in the video... that is all. :P

At first, I thought the vid was ok. But after an afternoon of thought, I hate it. This is worse than the CB vid. It was TERRIBLE!!! I've never been this harsh on Coldplay but my gosh, this vid really grinds my gears.

 

I wish they would take their videos more seriously because this was just bad.

Cool, I liked it :)

The song is called Princess Of China...sure.

 

but that doesn't mean the song has anything to do with China or the Chinese culture.

 

I think the people bitching about that sort of thing need to drop it.

I know.

 

I'm just saying every little thing in the video does not have to be about China/Chinese....

it can be about ri ri´s butt

I rated it a 9/10

I was really nervous about this video coming out , I gave the Charlie Brown video a 5/10 so I was hoping the POC video wouldn't be worse. I thought it was a creative video, I love the parts where Chris sings, I'm happy Rihanna is dressed :lol: ( hate the nails though). I actually liked the forehead touching scenes but I'm happy they didn't kiss.

 

Strawberry Swing and LITii are still my all time fave Coldplay videos, POC video won't go in my worst category though, In my opinion the CB video is their worst.

This video is better then i expected, altough i had to laugh when they were flying. XD

 

7/10

 

Lovers in Japan and the alternate Viva la Vida are still their best video's!

Now I watched the video three times as I think it does require multiple viewings.

 

I think Coldplay has struck a difficult balance here between a simple indie video and a pop special effects video, which mirrors perfectly the collaboration between Rhianna and Coldplay.

 

I love how the video describes the song perfectly. The scenes where they are both dressed differently and each stays with their clan, facing each other in battle and then the incredibly intimate scene forehead-to-forehead, opening their heart to each other and admitting how much they hurt.

 

The video works great with these contrasts and in the end you can almost feel the glimmer of hope, of a future reconciliation, which is the spirit of the last part of MX. All in all, well done!

On the contrary to me the flying scene was poignant, showing how once they were "flying" together, united by their love and common goals.

I was expecting a more linear plot to it like Paradise or Strawberry Swing, but upon mental digest, I like it more.

 

It's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the Charlie Brown video.

I think the lack of linearity reflects the song. We are going back and forth between how the relationship was and how it fell apart, both in the song and in the video.

the "lol why did they even bother" era

 

:lol:

Chris he was so sexy. Great. That's what I care about actually. :) Riri she also did well. But I want to say... I'm glad that they didn't film kissing scene or something. This is enough fabulous. :lol:

 

 

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't want a video where Chris is sexy... That's why I was pissed, he is trying so hard to be some kind of machoman now,following the steps of Justin Timberlake or whoever. OK, they want to have fun and they enjoy the populartiy, but I am afraid that the band might be losing it. They need to get a grip before the next album, seriously.

I still dont know weather I like it or not.

Anyone else notice chris's shoe change at 48 sec from black to white :laugh3:

You think whoever was stunting for chis surely should have had the exact same attire.

4/10

I think I'm seeing more humour in this video than was intended - the Chris parts are very entertaining :lol:

 

I do like the visual quality of this video, although I could have done without Rihanna's red plastic thigh high boots, but I suppose it could have been worse...

 

I only started to enjoy the song Paradise after the video, but this isn't going to happen for POC.

My first thought after seeing this

 

"Hm... the Charlie Brown vid wasn't really that bad, was it?"

too right

MX era videos are so fakes and plastics...

 

Fail

Rihanna ‏@rihanna

 

@coldplay I loooove this shit! Thanks for the opportunity http://vevo.ly/JX5VMV

It's an average video for an under average Coldplay song.

+1...... shame after the amazing strawberry swing video :(

i will give it an 8. there was some really cool editing in the beginning, but some of the shots toward the end lasted too long.

i'm not sure i understood exactly what the story was supposed to be... and i was expecting more sword fighting. it was like, Rihanna, you have a sword, use it! :P but she kinda looked bored the whole time anyway...

 

on the other hand, the cinematography was very nice. and i love that they keep including credits in their videos. :wacko:
